    FEATURE - Kriegsschiff USS Gerald R. Ford testet Funktionsfähigkeit bei Explosionen


    The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) completes the first scheduled explosive event of Full Ship Shock Trials while underway in the Atlantic Ocean, June 18, 2021. The U.S. Navy conducts shock trials of new ship designs using live explosives to confirm that our warships can continue to meet demanding mission requirements under harsh conditions they might encounter in battle.

    The U.S. Army has showed off its latest defence against hostile drone units: ‘stringer streamers’ fired from a small flying interceptor.

    An announcement Monday (7 June) stated that recent tests at Eglin Air Force Base saw DARPA’s Mobile Force Protection (MFP) program successfully demonstrated a Counter-Unmanned Air System (C-UAS) “multilayer defense architecture” to defeat unauthorised drone intrusions over military installations or operations. DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is a research and development agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military.

    The demo highlighted the requirement that the system field non-kinetic solutions pushed concepts that could be employed in and around civilian areas.

    DARPA explained: “The primary drone negation mechanism shoots strong, stringy streamers from reusable interceptors that foul propellers causing loss of propulsion.”

    In the test, the technology demonstrator successfully neutralised tactically-relevant drones using a newly-developed X band radar that automatically senses and identifies unmanned aerial system threats. The radar then pairs targets to specific interceptors through an automated decision engine tied to a command and control system, launching and guiding rotary and fixed wing interceptors with two types of drone countermeasures while on the move and without operator intervention.

    Development of this low-cost reusable drone interceptor system approach began four years ago with the aim of creating an integrated system for thwarting attacks from self-guided small unmanned aircraft. The goal is to protect high value convoys moving through potentially populated regions where there is a requirement to avoid using explosive defensive weapons and mitigate collateral damage.

    Drone footage shows how Syrian city of Aleppo still appears a modern thriving town in government-held areas and a devastated warzone elsewhere

    Syria may not be top of many people's holiday lists for 2017, but its tourism ministry has released a video advertising a side of war-torn city Aleppo that can scarcely be believed.

    Drone footage shows the citizens in the Government-held half bathed in glorious sunshine they go about their daily business in the surroundings of grand buildings, fabulous gardens and huge swimming pools.

    It is a stark and harrowing comparison to the other half of Aleppo, which is currently being bombed to smithereens by missiles from President Bashar al-Assad as well as from the Russian military.

    Drone footage shows how Syrian city of Aleppo still appears a modern thriving town in government-held areas and a devastated warzone elsewhere

    Syria may not be top of many people's holiday lists for 2017, but its tourism ministry has released a video advertising a side of war-torn city Aleppo that can scarcely be believed.

    Drone footage shows the citizens in the Government-held half bathed in glorious sunshine they go about their daily business in the surroundings of grand buildings, fabulous gardens and huge swimming pools.

    Khazir refugee camp is located outside Kalak, a town halfway on the road between Erbil and Mosul. It was overrun by ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) militants on the 7th of August following an unprecedented push of the Caliphate into Kurdish territory. Its thousands of Iraqi and Arab refugees were forced to flee again as the now deserted camp has become the new frontline between the Peshmerga and ISIS.
    It is the theatre of frequent U.S. airstrikes that have helped halt the ISIS advance into a stalemate situation.
