The purpose of the report is to assist Aircraft Solutions (AS) in indentifying the most significant Information Technology (IT) security vulnerabilities. AS products and services are at the forefront of the industry and the protection of such is very important as they are an industry leader. The vulnerabilities that will be discussed are the firewall configuration, virtualization of their

This report is prepared to assist the aircraft solutions (AS), a well-known company for equipment and component fabrication in Southern California, in identifying the most important security vulnerabilities. This report also discusses possible threats, the likelihood of the threats occurring

Topic: Our Topic for this assignment is the Hawker Hurricane, a British fighter plane that was mainly used in the Royal Air Force and the Battles fought by British and its Allies.

In this essay, I will explain how the impact of new technology (e.g. aircraft) on methods that were used to fight in the air in WW1 and WW2.

Later on long range bombers were developed, they had one task, to fly with as many bombs as they can and hit a target with a degree of accuracy. These bombers were much larger than fighters and had much less manoeuvrability. Planes were not thought of as a combat-prepared technology, but proved to be very effective with gathering information and taking out enemy

“World War I [1914-1918] brought about many significant changes in the aviation field. At the start of World War One, aircraft were very basic and crude. By the time World War One had ended, aircraft had become far more sophisticated and had differentiated into fighters, bombers and long-range bombers. The development of aircraft was stimulated by the war’s requirements, as was the way aircraft were actually used” (“Aircraft and World War One”). At the start of the war, aircraft was thought to be an insignificant asset. Because of this, planes were typically only used for monitoring, rather than attacking the enemy, as well as the world’s first ever aerial photography. If ever enemy aircraft came in contact, by chance, the encounter was typically crude due to lack of training, but deadly.

Technological improvements of the jet engine and innovations of the missile technology started to change a viewpoint on airpower

In this focused history of the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG family of fighters and the ace pilots that flew them, Khazanov and Medved provide first-hand accounts of MiG-3 fighter pilots during World War II. As one of the Soviet Union’s few pre-war modern types available, this fighter was built to be an advanced, high-altitude fighter to counter war-proven German technology. Even though production was ended at the close of 1941, the MiG-3 soldiered on against the Nazi War Machine as newer types were developed, finally being completely replaced on the front-lines until mid-1942.

This paper is an analysis and evaluation of the United States Air Force (USAF) Lightweight Fighter (LWF) program and the first prototype aircraft that it produced, the YF-16. The purpose is to focus on the program’s successes in light of three project elements that are common to all projects (whether correctly and properly implemented, or not). Those elements being project requirements, opportunities and risks, and the project team. The success of the LWF program really cannot be understated. Emerging from the program was the F-16, an astounding technological achievement that has affected the course of the USAF and how it approaches technology transition, management strategies, and rapid procurement and program execution (Aronstein & Piccirillo, 1997, p. 203).

By the start of the 1950's, the US Air Force needed something new. One of the designs that was submitted, though rejected by the Air Force, was funded by the Central Intelligence Agency under the codename AQUATONE. The aircraft, which became well known in the later years of the Cold War as the U-2, was designed, built, and flown in the top secret world of “Black” aircraft, completely unknown by the public for nearly ten years. It's primary defense was the ability to fly at up to 70,000 feet above sea level, safe above the reach of Soviet defenses in the late 50's.

By 1911, the old Balloon Section was separated into two Companies by the War Office, No 1 (Airship) and No 2 (Aeroplane), which caused the direct militarization of Britain’s first “air force,” and eventually became the Royal Flying Corps on March 13th, 1912. General David Henderson, “Father of the RAF” and the man who led its formation of the RAF, changed the way that aviation was viewed from a military perspective, by expanding the roles of aircraft to fighter interception, reconnaissance, and tactical support. Even with these changes, the general thought of utilizing airplanes in an aggressive manner was not rationalized alongside the current state of aviation technology.

Previously, American fighters had not been able to escort bombers far into Europe because of fuel and range limitations. But with the development of these new external tanks, American fighters were able to engage enemy fighters and help protect American heavy bombers: “When combined with jettisonable external tanks, the P-38 and P-51 gained the range necessary to accompany B-17s and B24s to the limits of bomber endurance.” This technological advancement was crucial in helping America dominate the skies around the world. Not only could fighters now easily escort bombers, but American fighters could stay in the air longer to engage enemy aircraft. However, just as American planes were being upgraded and a new fighting strategy was being

The emergent need for a stealth bomber did not come to fruition until the Yom Kipper War in October 1973. Israeli aircraft were detected by Soviet Union radars and shot down at an high rates by Soviet surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles.[1,28] Many of these fighter jets were similar to those that the United States were using which alarmed the air force. The following year in 1974 the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funded research into the needed radar cross section that aircraft would need in order to survive the Soviet Union radar threat. [1,28] Lockheed, Northrop and McDonnell Douglas were interested in this research and pursued the DARPA opportunity.[1,28] DARPA began an additional study the Experimental Survivability Testbed (XST) in 1975 where the goal was to mount aircraft conceptual models on poles at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico to conduct testing on low radar cross-section (RCS) conceptual designs.[1,28-29] These conceptual designs would help Northrop, Lockheed and Defense Department engineers better understand RCS reduction.

At the close of World War 2 rotary-wing aviation began its transition into a so-called “renaissance” period. New and exciting advancements were being made to give new aircraft greater stability and range. After many demonstrations on exactly what an aircraft could do, the United States Army decided to adopt rotary wing aircraft to fill a search and rescue (SAR) role initially. During the Korean War, medical evacuations and search and rescue missions took up the majority of missions for our pilots. However, we were very limited in what we could achieve. The technology was primitive in using piston driven engines along with heavier parts than necessary. Seeing how useful slow moving aircraft were to our forces, Army Aviation leaders began

The US Department of Defense gave Lockheed Martin the green light to involve several allied countries to participate in manufacturing F-35 Joint Strike Fighter for financing and technology considerations. Lockheed Martin has planned to reduce the costs by sharing the burden of the cost of the program with the partner countries, which will contribute to the reduction of the cost of F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. F35 fighter aircraft program is an integrated project, that the United States allies countries participated, namely Italy, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Turkey and Israel, which is excluded later. The US Department of Defense plans to make F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is the backbone of the United States air fleet. F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is designed to service in all kinds of environments
