a system interface originally focused on developing interoperability software for UAS ground control stations (Department of Defense, 2013). UCS standards have expanded beyond the original intent of a common open architecture for UAS greater than 20 pounds; the maritime Program Executive Office (PEO) is exploring USC in many of its unmanned platforms (Department of Defense, 2013). UCS is able to eliminate the “stove pipe” acquisition process with the adoption of common standards for the ground control

Introduction The Government is always looking to streamline the acquisition process the most efficient and effective way to produce a system and or service. The most important piece of streamlining the process is acquisition planning. Acquisition planning should begin as soon as the “need is identified” and will help lead to the most appropriate requirement for the Government (FAR, 7.101). One of those requirements could be bundling of a contract. Contract bundling can provide benefits to the Government

Air defense artillery (ADA) units date back to the dawn of this country's history when the colonists erected fortifications and emplaced artillery pieces to defend against attack from the sea. Little did they know, this new innovative way of combat would evolve and change the front lines forever. Through World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam, air defense artillery units served as an indispensable part of the armed forces of the United States. It gave the Army a tactical advantage and allowed

Departments of Energy, Defense, State, Commerce, and Homeland Security. The Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration is the principal U.S. Government agency responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of U.S. nuclear weapons. The Department of Energy was established by President Jimmy Carter in 1977 in response to the energy crisis affecting the country during his term in office. While many Americans identify nuclear weapons with the Department of Defense, the role of which

destruction and ballistic missiles. Especially, the nuclear threat of the ambiguous North Koreans, which have the capabilities of striking South Korea, Japan, and the Continental United States. Last year the U.S. came close to reaching an agreement that would have ended its development and export of ballistic missiles and related

domains in support of the elements of national power. Therefore, the Department of Defense (DOD) needs to rebalance and transition several general capabilities in order for Joint Force 2025 to address emerging threats to U.S. national interests. The services must invest in systems that maintain strategic deterrence, infrastructure that supports power projection and operational concepts that advance wide spectrum operations in order to support diplomacy and national security.

Air Missile The Soviet Union’s ballistic missiles and long range bombers became a great threat to the United States of America, after tensions between the two intensified, following World War II. The US was afraid that the Soviet Union would attack and there would be no war fighting equipment available to intercept the threat. (Nike, n.d) The North American Air Defense Command developed the Nike Ajax, which stood as a high-altitude defense system. It was the last line of air defense, which

it became independent from Britain and Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party. Air Defense Artillery was able to show its capabilities when they intercepted a tactical ballistic missile that was launched from Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2013. Because of this event, Kuwait was eager to work closely with The United States and expand its own air defense, which lead to the Kuwaitis intercepting another tactical ballistic missile launched once again from Iraq. Firstly, located in Western Asia, Iraq’s

("Nuclear Missile Attack") a response to the presumption that the United States would orchestrate an imminent first strike attack. The program focused on compiling intelligence on supposed contingency plans of the United States to launch a nuclear first strike against the Soviet Union. On September 14, 1982 President Reagan and Dr. Edward Teller (father of the hydrogen bomb) held a meeting to discuss how to develop the most effective method of defense against intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs)
