The new vest has three layers: a top ceramic section, a middle
layer of aluminium, and bottom layer of woven nylon.
The aluminium is pre-scored to define interlocking plugs, like
the pieces of a jigsaw. As an armour-piercing bullet hits the top
layer, the ceramic strikes the aluminium below like a hammer, and
frees one of the plugs. When the bullet breaks through the
ceramics a split second later it hits the free plug, which wraps
round its sharp tip. The bullet then has a wide, soft tip that is
easily trapped by the nylon below.
In testing, the vest could trap armour-piercing bullets
fired at point blank range from a rifle at 850 metres per second.

Galileo
and GPS to work together --- June 23, 2004
The Galileo navigation system is based on a constellation
of 30 satellites and ground stations providing
information on the location of users. The
new system is set to be fully operational in 2008, although
initial launches are scheduled to begin later in 2004.
The new system will enable users with a small low-cost
receiver to determine the position of any moving or stationary
object such as a boat, vehicle, livestock to within a metre.
At present, navigation via satellite is carried out using the US
military-developed Global Positioning System (GPS) and
the GLONASS systems, which are both run from the
United States

The plan formalises ties between Iraq's future government and foreign forces.
Resolution 1546 sets out the powers and constraints for the new
interim Iraqi government, due to take power from the US
administration on 30 June.

However, a potential obstacle surfaced when Kurdish leaders in

Global Force
urged -- June
30, 2003
Because repairing Iraq will take years, the Bush
administration should welcome all offers of help, even from NATO
and its members that opposed the U.S. invasion, leading lawmakers
said yesterday.
"We need to involve the world, the globe,
because we're talking about freedom not just for the United
States, not just for Iraq, but indeed freedoms for people
around the world," said Senate Majority Leader Bill
Frist (R-Tenn.).
Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (Del.), the senior Democrat on
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told "Fox News
Sunday" that it is important that the United States deal
with the NATO problem.
"I want to see French, German, I want to see Turkish patches
on people's arms sitting on the street corners, standing there in
Iraq," Biden said. "That's one way to communicate to
the Iraqi people we are not there as occupiers. The
international community is there as liberators."
He said Lord Robertson, NATO's secretary general, had told him
the alliance is "ready to come in in large numbers"
once given the go-ahead by Washington.

US proposes world peacekeeping force -- June 28, 2003
Earlier this week, the UK's ambassador to the UN,
Sir Jeremy Greenstock, urged the US to spearhead a
peacekeeping force for Liberia, which is being torn
apart by a civil war.
At a dinner in Washington last week, Mr Rumsfeld told defence
industry leaders: "I am interested in the idea of
our leading, or contributing to in some way, a cadre of people in
the world who would like to participate in peacekeeping or
peacemaking.
"I think it would be a good thing if our country
was to provide some leadership for training of other
countries' citizens who would like to participate in
peacekeeping ... so that we have a ready cadre of people who are
trained and equipped and organised and have communications [so]
that they can work with each other."
The Pentagon is said to have approached countries in
Europe and Latin America about the idea of setting up a force, although
the Ministry of Defence in London said yesterday it was unaware
of the proposal.

Under the deal, the group will supply NATO with a

It added that the system would gather information
about what was happening on the ground during
peacetime, crisis or war.
EADS Airbus A321 planes will be among those provided as part of
the surveillance system.
Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics Canada, French defence firm

companies in the winning EADS-led consortium.
A spokesman for EADS - the European Aeronautic Defence and Space
Company - in Munich [Germany] said: "We are

US rival Raytheon had led another

BETHPAGE, N.Y., May 2, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- The U.S. Navy
has awarded Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) a
sole-source, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ)
contract for full-rate production acquisition of new EA-6B

Under this contract, the Navy has made an initial $73 million
purchase for four complete systems, another partial system and
spares. These first kits purchased under this contract will be
delivered in 2008. The ICAP III is the latest of five generations
of EA-6B airborne electronic-attack systems designed

RRW Reliable Replacement Warhead Program
The plan, known as the reliable

Instead of maintaining the old stockpile by
monitoring the warheads and replacing occasional spare parts, RRW
would entail the design, production and deployment of a
new generation of warheads. These would not
require testing, and therefore would not break the US
moratorium on nuclear tests.

Over the next 25 years, the new technology would free the US from

spurred by the difficulties of gaining international cooperation
for the invasion of Iraq.
The new weapons are being developed under a programme codenamed Falcon

Pentegon wants a strike force within 24 hours
30 day notice
To move
quickly when a crisis erupts, key combat units from all the armed
services would be organized into "Global Joint Response
Forces" capable of setting up operations in a hostile
environment within 24 hours, according to the proposal presented
by retired Air Force Gen. James P. McCarthy, who headed
Rumsfeld's review panel on the transformation of conventional
forces.
These units would be designed to gain control of a trouble spot
within four days and bring a conflict to a decisive resolution
within 30 days. In humanitarian emergencies, military units would
start handing over operations to civilian contractors and
nongovernmental organizations after 30 days, McCarthy said.
The emphasis on overseas deployments, military interventions and
the use of troops on humanitarian missions runs counter to some
of Bush's campaign rhetoric last year,

Yemen attack was a precursor of more to come
Amnesty [

unequivocal statement that it does not sanction extra-judicial executions. Rice seemed to reject that call on
Sunday....
The United States views al Qaeda militants as enemy
combatants in its war on terror and fair game for
military strikes anywhere in the world. While Washington
says it sought permission from Yemen for last week's strike, it
has offered no assurances it would always do so in the future. [ in other

To reduce the nation’s vulnerability, the

Translated into lay terms, that means the development and deployment

Meanwhile, amid the growing concern about threats to American
satellites, the Air Force has been preparing for extraterrestrial
combat, establishing a new Space Operations Directorate,
as well as a new Space Warfare School. In
addition, two new units have been activated. The highly
classified mission of the 76th Space Control Squadron at

improving readiness at the site, but officials say there are no
plans to test weapons.

group of downwinders opposed to any new nuclear testing.
However distant, the prospect of
renewed nuclear testing evokes such passion
here that it has become an issue in Utah's 2nd Congressional
District race. The Republican Party has identified the contest as

U.S. NO LONGER REGARDS ISRAEL AS

The United States has revised its assessment of Israel and no
longer regards it as a trailblazer in combat air power. Over the
last decade, the United States has stopped looking toward Israel
as a model in the use of combat air power,
senior Israeli military sources said. They said the United States
regards itself as at the forefront of combat air technology
and doctrine.
The change in U.S. perception took place in the 1991 Gulf war,
they said. They said the Gulf war proved U.S. conceptions that
were helped formed by Israel in its 1967 and 1982 air battles
against such Arab states as Egypt and Syria.
"If the Americans were amazed by us in 1967 and 1982,"
Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin, a former air force chief of staff, said,
"they are no longer amazed by our air force today."
