Hytema is one of the world’s largest defense contractors. Therefore, the vast majority of their technical information is extremely sensitive, and if compromised, the consequences could be exceptionally devastating. Hytema lead the team that developed the F-45 Raider fighter jet, the detailed technical information for this one project alone is especially sensitive. If technical details for the F-45 Raider fighter jet were to end up in enemy hands, not only would they have the specifications to possibly replicate the fighter but also information which can be used to attack the jet, such as how to hack into its navigation or weapons systems. Attacking or replicating the F-45 Raider fighter jet could potentially cause mass casualties and destruction.
1. Define science – Science is the development of concepts about the natural world , often by using the scientific method
The after taking 25 years to develop the F22 Raptor from conception to operational certification the United States Air Force (USAF) produced the world’s first 5th Generation air superiority fighter. (site) This revolutionary fighter plane leveraged its very low observable stealth (VLO) and thrust-vectoring and digital fly by wire technology, to produce an extremely fast, agile and deadly air to air combatant. (GEO P 2) However, in 2009 Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense, (SECDEF) convinced the President (POTUS) and Congress to truncate the F22 program, leaving the USAF with less than 187 operational F22 Raptors, this number was well short of the 381 the USAF estimated they needed to meet their mission requirements. (AWC 1/ site) Gates made his controversial decision based on three factors. This essay will explore these factors and explain how the 2009 U.S strategic environment, the overall cost of the F22 and Secretary Gates’ desire to change the Department of Defense (DOD) all lead to the decision to limit the production of the F22 Raptor at 187 aircraft.
At Aircraft Solutions, there are several samples of concerns that could lead to a breach of information or compromised branch of their system. Due to the design of their geographical layout, secure connections that encrypt
This project is to help the Aircraft Solutions (AS), Aircraft Solution Company for equipment and component fabrication in Southern California, in identifying the most important security vulnerabilities. This project also describes about the possible threat for the company security, Hardware and Software systems.
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
The HeLa cells are the first immortal cell lines. Immortal cell lines are not like other cells. These cells don’t die of old age. Immortal cells are important because these cells grow indefinitely and they survive and grow by dividing. This allows scientists to research more productively. HeLa cells are used for many researches to cure diseases and develop new drugs. With HeLa cells scientists did many researches and it led to breakthroughs in the study of leukemia, influenza, hemophilia, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, AIDS, and more. It became one of the important tools in medicine. These improvements in diseases saved lives of many people. HeLa cells are coming from an African American female from Baltimore. HeLa cells are taken from Henrietta Lacks’ cervix
Since the events of 9/11, drone strikes have become a tool for the United States as it fights a global war against terrorist organizations. The advantages and disadvantages of this particular counterterrorism option continue to be debated. Instead of sending in warfighters to achieve specific objectives, many argue that unmanned combat aerial vehicles provide the U.S. military and government with low-risk and low-cost options as it engages in military operations in other regions of the world. Compared with manned fighter aircraft, some of these unmanned vehicles are able to fly longer without stopping, which affords the U.S. with better intelligence collection and targeting opportunities. Even if the aircraft were shot down, there is not
Information security has become a major issue at present as the size of organization and their networks are increasing rapidly. DDH is the perfect example which is a big organization. As cyber-attacks are on rise, it is top priority of any organization to preserve and prevent the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability) triad of
The purpose of this paper is to explore and assess computer security as it relates to Aircraft Solutions. Aircraft Solutions provides products and services to a range of companies that require highly specialized skills. Information is accessed by internal and external users via their Business
Immortal HeLa cells have touched every person’s life and have created advancements in the medical field that no doctor could have ever foreseen, although the cells are known, many do not know Henrietta Lacks, the African American woman who the cells were taken from. In her novel, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot tells the story of Henrietta and how her cells have affected her family’s life, and the history of medicine. She tells Henrietta’s journey from the time of meeting her husband Day, to being diagnosed with cervical cancer. In 1951, Henrietta dies, leaving behind her five children and affecting countless others who knew and loved her. Skloot wants to release the story of the Lacks family, and with the help of Henrietta’s
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.
It is very important to secure all your sensitive equipment and items, and maintain accountability. The reason simply is to keep very important high cost
The F-35 JSF will be an excellent addition to the current fleet of conventional fighters. However, it is not worth the current investment to replace the entire fleet with fifth gen aircraft. As seen with the F-22 oxygen system failures in 2011, a simple problem has the capability to ground an entire fleet of aircraft.9 In the case of the F-35, a grounding problem at operational volume has the potential to ground the Air Force’s entire fleet of fighter aircraft, essentially leaving the United States powerless in the air. Leaders are taught to always have backup plans if one should fail, the United States is placing all hopes into one multi-purpose airframe. Although cheap, the F-35 is a jack of all trades, but a master of
“The F-35 Lightning II is a 5th Generation fighter, combining advanced stealth with fighter speed and agility, fully fused sensor information, network-enabled operations and advanced sustainment” (f35.com, jsf.mil). The F-35 was created to defeat threat systems on the ground and in the air (f35.com). Its ability to perform air-to-air, air-to-ground, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions makes it one of the best fighters in the world (f35.com). However, its
As the future of warfare becomes more sophisticated, what will be the military technology of tomorrow? The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, believes that there are three possible answers to that question: nuclear warfare, biological/chemical warfare, or cyber warfare. While nuclear and biological warfare is conducted on a battlefield, cyber warfare operates via the Internet and computers. All of these weapons have the same destructive potential, but the circumstances surrounding
