After completing the entry of a package of six Russian kilos on January 20, 2017, Vietnam has officially become a member of the "submarine club". With the existing six submarines, Vietnam's ability to defend and control territorial waters has increased significantly. However, with the topographic features of the South China Sea, kilos can not work effectively in certain areas such as estuaries, bays or islands, this is necessary for the purpose of Vietnam's sea defense in the current geopolitical situation. So, sooner or later, the second submarine brigade, that is based on high mobility mini submarine that replenishing the existing six Kilos, must be established . This paper will demonstrate that mini submarines are

To be sure, a surprise strategic Chinese attack is a valuable worst-case scenario to study, but protracted multi-dimensional U.S.-China competition for Pacific influence—akin to the contemporary era—is arguably more likely and, thus, a more sensible scenario against which to wargame. Also, despite its plausible portrayal of a localized insurgency, the novel stops short of depicting mass civil unrest elsewhere and social stability considerations that would almost certainly accompany a future world war. Nonetheless, Ghost Fleet’s technical narrative provides ample realistic content for today’s security and defense officials to balance and refine tomorrow’s warfare strategies. Singer and Cole’s near-future depiction of U.S. technological vulnerability in warfare should spur those officials to enable American innovation and adaptation in warfighting solutions well before the onset of strategic

It influenced future generations of soldiers and equipment to advance both tactically and technically, greatly increasing the multi-role diversity and capabilities of the Air Defense Artillery systems of today’s United States Army. Compared to the Patriot Launcher Missile system, it showed that Air Defense units could be multifaceted. Like the M42 Duster (SPAAG), the Patriot system demonstrated excellent destruction ratio for aircraft but the system also worked well in defense of TBM’s (Tactical Ballistic

Despite its heft, the ship moves with less wake. Its footprint is smaller than a small fishing boat. The ship can also operate closer to the shore than other battleships. The ship also can store more power than others so it can fire the weapons more often without recharging.

During World War 2, she was fitted with nine, 16 inch barrelled cannons that fired 406mm nuclear shells, several Oerlikon 20mm and Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns, and finally, her third weaponry consisted of twenty, 5 inch (130 mm)/38 caliber guns in twin mounts, which could fire at targets up to 14 miles away. In addition, after the Korean war, the USS Iowa was decommissioned for repair and upgrades. These upgrades included: Four MK 141 quad cell launchers for 16 AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles, eight Armored Box Launcher mounts for 32 BGM-109 Tomahawk missiles, and a quartet of the Phalanx Close-in weapon system Gatling guns for defense against enemy anti-ship missiles and enemy aircraft. Iowa was the first battleship to receive the RQ-2 Pioneer Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. She could carry up to eight of the remotely controlled drones, which replaced the helicopters previously used to spot for her nine 16 inch (410 mm)/50 cal Mark 7 guns. Sadly, in 1989 turret two of the USS Iowa malfunctioned during a weapons test, consequently exploding and killing 47 crewmen in the accident. Furthermore, because of that fiasco, “The Grey Ghost” was doomed to a museum ship fate. The USS Iowa was left to rust at the Port of Los Angeles for all of

Advanced Technologies. Lockheed Martin is bringing decades of experience of developing cutting edge technologically advanced systems to the marketplace. Through their legendary Skunkworks program, they have developed the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, U-2 Dragon Lady spy plane and the SR-71 Blackbird. These are craft were operational long before the public even knew of their existence. The SR-71 developed in the 1960s still holds many speed and altitude records. The F-35 takes this experience and incorporates it. It is a fully stealth aircraft that uses advanced geometrical shape and electronic methods to remain undetectable. Each F-35 is fully linked to all other aircraft, being able to “see” what they see. The pilot wears an advanced helmet that allows them to see “through” the aircraft using 6 infrared cameras mounted around the aircraft, virtually eliminating any blind spots.

The need for a weapon that is mobile, as well as perform a much needed defensive service, presented the opportunity to create the 3 Inch M1918 Anti-Aircraft Gun. “The 3-Inch M1918 AA gun is a derivative of the 3-Inch M1898 that is too large to be feasibly mobile” (Ordnance, T.O, 1920). While this gun cannot be fired while being towed behind a vehicle, it is transportable enough to move to an area that needs protection from the ever-growing aircraft attack threat.

The Tomahawk and the Tomahawk Antiship missile (TASM) are fitted on Iowa-class battleships, cruisers of the Virginia, Long Beach, and Ticonderoga classes, and destroyers of the Arleigh Burke and Spruance classes.

In today’s digital age, development of new technology and weapons are at an alarming rate, hence arises the need to stay ahead of advancements in order to properly defend the nation, as well as coalition forces and allies. In this period of warfare, the number one threat comes in the form of air breathing and ballistic missiles. During World War II, this threat was present, but was not thought to be prevalent.

The Patriot Advanced Capability 2 version acquired the capability to operate against other missiles, beyond just aircrafts, by the US armed forces through an improved fuse and warhead in comparison to the PAC-1 (Maital & Seshadri, 2012). Furthermore, the US Army made changes to not only the software of the PAC-2 missile but the radar system which guided it. These improvements gave the missiles the ability to intercept other missiles which was different than previous models. Interception in this case was not considered just the capability to knock a missile off course but to destroy them which was the objective of this product. Beyond physical attributes, it acquired them through the recognition that tactile ballistic missiles were all over Europe and increased threats, prompting improvements to occur (Maital & Seshadri, 2012).

The Navy figured out that it is good for warfare but it is less ideal when the destroyer is operating in extreme weather and routing busy shipping channels. They also examined the use of onboard reflectors to enhance its radar visibility. On the other hand, the Zumwalt destroyer

His book outlines the many prototypes and the cutting-edge technology used to develop these essential vehicles. He played a critical role in planning amphibious assaults and overseeing the development of the technology required to complete these operations. As a result of his direct oversight, assaults such as Normandy were made possible. In his book, he gives the credit of successful operations to the technology used. As a military member, we are taught to always think one step ahead of our enemies and prepare for all possible outcomes which leads me to the prevention stage of my

The purpose for the three Zumwalt-class destroyers is for land attacks and missile launching. For missile launching, they have Long Range Land Attack Projectiles (or LRLAP).This is a rocket with a warhead fired from the AGS gun(Advanced Gun System). For land attacks, there are hangers to hold two SH-60 helicopters.

In 1968, the Soviet Union came up with a new development- the building of antiballistic missiles defence systems. These were to be used for nuclear, chemical, biological or even conventional warheads in the homeland defence of such a strike because they were designed to counter ICBM’s. As a method to counter this development, United States came up with multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicles (MIRV’s) which improved the chances of avoiding detection by ABM systems. In addition to this, United States also developed its own IBM in order to match that of Soviet Union.

Ever since World War II, the United States’ has dominated the sea and air with their supercarriers. In fact, the supercarriers “were the centerpiece of five major sea battles between 1942 and 1944, including the battle of Midway” (Wise 1). This is the case because of the advanced plane launching technology that the
