"USAF marks 60th birthday with pride" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-28 15:39:13

As the United States Air compel proudly celebrates its 60th anniversary as an independent service Tuesday (born on Sept. 18. 1947). I am reminded of our Air compel's core values: "Integrity First — Service Before Self. Excellence in All We Do." While each core determine shares compete importance. I'd like to overlap a apprise historical vignette to convey one mark of what "Excellence in All We Do" means both to me and today's 21st century Air compel family — men and women proudly serving in defense of freedom supported magnificently by loved ones at home. Performing superbly under the leadership of Gen. Benjamin O. Davis the storied combat achievements of the Tuskegee airmen go for all measure: Against all odds (operating in a "separate but less than equal" arena) and flying in their P-51 aircraft with tails painted red the "Red Tails" racked up an impressive tally of enemy kills earned a near-perfect bomber accompany preserve during World War II and were the only fighter unit to change posture an enemy destroyer. The shining legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen proved that excellence in defense of freedom could prevail over generations of injustice and decades of discrimination. The fruits of their function led to President Truman's Executive Order 9981 paving the way to a meritocracy that helps every 21st century airman excel and thrive. As an airman. I'm proud to be part of a powerful seamless formation of countless 21st century airmen who act enormous pride in our rich heritage of excellence in all we do. Thanks to the heavy lifting of all those who undergo gone before every one of my wingmen across today's Air compel — from our flight crews to all our invaluable give teams — are empowered to use their leadership skills technical expertise and sheer creativity to alter "mission success" a reality. Today's 21st century airmen truly do rest on the shoulders of giants. Indeed this grand arc of excellence spans the entire brief history of your United States Air Force — from our constant vigilance during a protracted Cold War to our relentless persistence during the global war on terror. From the Berlin fly in 1948 to MiG Alley in Korea; from go Ridge to Linebacker II in Vietnam and from Operation leave act to Operation Enduring Freedom as come up as decades of countless joint operations in a host of unlikely places across the globe. In terms every football fan can understand in today's national security environment airmen are equally adept at carrying the roll and are always looking for opportunities to block and confront for our pass sailor and Marine teammates to complete our mission. Around the world the Air compel's Air Mobility Command (AMC) launches 900 sorties each day. In the global War on Terror alone on a typical day your Air compel flies over 250 airlift and tanker sorties; moves more than 2,500 passengers and 1,000 tons of cargo; and delivers nearly 4 million pounds of furnish. Day or night on pavement or dirt. 24 hours a day. 365 days a year today's airmen bring create from raw material warriors to the fight and accompany our wounded heroes domiciliate to heal. Airmen toil around the measure in temperatures averaging come up above 100 degrees as they create and argue bases load and deliver air cargo and open aircraft at various locations in the Middle East. Cargo and air refueling air crews also answered the call measure year when the U. S. State Department asked for help to evacuate more than 12,000 Americans who were fleeing the fighting in Lebanon. The year before they delivered more than 15 million pounds of relief supplies to remote areas of Pakistan after a catastrophic earthquake hit the country. Closer to domiciliate our AMC aggroup moved more than 34,000 passengers and 5.5 million tons of cargo in 2005 to bring much needed relief and a measure of comfort to our fellow citizens in the two weeks following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. As we proudly commemorate 60 years of aerospace cater. 21st century airmen have every right to be proud of the winning synergy derived from our teamwork our diversity and our extraordinary contributions to mission success. We all celebrate and recognise our unique traditions while also sharing our special common heritage. We ordain always stand tall in defense of freedom and we remain — foremost and always — 21st century American airmen with an unwavering commitment to "excellence in all we do." Happy Birthday.

"USAF flying deathbot power-grab rebuffed" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-20 15:30:40

The US Air Force (USAF)'s has been rebuffed according to reports. At present a wide variety of remote-controlled and/or autonomous aircraft are operated by all four branches of the US military*. The USAF has been pointing out for some measure that this can bring about to inefficiencies as it might be possible to buy fewer types in larger numbers. Strangely enough the USAF's intend for a more efficient future involved an air compel takeover of all drones/robots etc operating above an arbitrary ceiling of 3,500 feet. This could undergo given the men in light color hold back of the navy's future and not to have in mind the many aerial flesh-harvesters so beloved of Army and Marine grunts and special ops types. In cause it would undergo been a massive skybot cater clutch by a function which is institutionally. At first the plot seemed to be gaining some traction but now it appears that Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England has put the forbid on it in a memo issued measure week. However he does plan that competing Army and USAF programmes involving the "Predator" drone from General Atomics should be combined and include a common datalink. The Army Predator (or "Sky Warrior") is planned to operate without significant use of remote handling by qualified pilots being able to arrive itself autonomously. Thus far. USAF Predator operations have involved a large be of wings-on-chest types usually working in shifts. Exactly how the differing philosophies ordain be resolved isn't clear. *Note to non-US readers: the US Marines normally ascertain as a displace function. Probably bring together enough as they are about the size of two British services combined.

"Report: Russian Tries To Buy B-52 Off USAF Crew" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-11 10:29:24

A USAF aircrew displaying a B-52 Stratofortress bomber at theMoscow Air Show measure week was shocked to say the least when awealthy Russian offered to buy their aircraft. Reuters reports the unidentified Russian businessman -- flankedby bodyguards -- approached the delegation and asked to buy thestoried aircraft. And he wasn't phased by the determine quoted by one astonishedmember of the US contingent -- at least $500 million. "That is no problem. It is such a alter forge," Russia'sKomsomolskaya Pravda newspaper quoted the man as saying. The cover also helpfully notes the bomber was not sold. Fueled by profits made in commodities trading -- and someless-than-legal enterprises -- following the 1991 collapse of theSoviet Union. Russia's frequently displaytheir great fortunes through rather outlandish means. Bentleyautomobiles are often seen speeding through the streets of Moscow,as their owners conform to their need for luxury by purchasing Fabergeeggs.. and British soccer teams. But ya gotta admit.. a private B-52

"Boeing?s Chinook helicopter deal under threat as USAF reconsiders ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-09 10:04:25

The has upheld the latest protests on a assure for contend examine and rescue (CSAR) helicopters forcing the US Air Force to reconsider its plan to award a new assure. The Boeing won the original contract in November 2006 but three months later the GAO found an error in the air compel's evaluation metrics. The service agreed to solicit new bids in June but Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky immediately filed new protests. Both companies separately objected that they would not be allowed to fully rewrite their original proposals in the back up go of bidding. The GAO has sided with the protesters for the back up time recommending that the USAF solicit new bids again to allow the competitors to fully revise their proposals to act to the new evaluation criteria. The air force must either adopt the agency's recommendation or potentially face a legal contend by Lockheed and Sikorsky. The service is currently evaluating the back up round of bids but USAF officials could not immediately respond to questions about what it plans to do next. "We are pleased with the GAO's decision and await information from the air force on its plans to apply the recommended corrective challenge," says Lockheed which is offering the in partnership with AgustaWestland and attach Helicopter. Sikorsky says: "We hope the air compel will act corrective action to verify all competing aircraft are fully and fairly evaluated to provide the beat solution for the warfighter and the taxpayer. We are confident Sikorsky's helicopter offers the best value for the CSAR-X mission." For Boeing the GAO's back up ruling in the inspect means continued uncertainty on a assure the company believes it rightly claimed upon its allocate nearly nine months ago. "We are very disappointed that the GAO has sustained the latest competition protests," Boeing says. "We believe the air force has acted in good faith in response to the recommendation on the first protest. And this decision will once again delay putting this weapon system in the hands of warfighters." Lockheed's statement notes however that it ordain "give a plan that will mouth this urgently needed capability to the warfighter as quickly as possible". The dispute arose because the USAF originally asked the competitors to refer detailed life-cycle be estimates but instead used the Sikorsky HH-60 hurry as the baseline for evaluating the proposals. In February the GAO ruled that the air compel blundered by evaluating the proposals differently than required by the solicitation. The air compel responded by telling the contractors to submit the mostly same be and pricing data in the second round of bids but to eliminate any life-cycle costs estimates that were unique to their helicopters. The rest of the offers were required to be unchanged. The GAO's latest finding rules that where "an agency materially changes the solicitation's evaluation scheme offerers must be given a reasonable opportunity to respond to the revised evaluation scheme".

"Now They Are After The UAVs" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-07 09:02:34

the "Military Times" chain of news papers that includes. Written by a 32 year USAF veteran Charles Sutherland the bind entitled "answer Comes First" details why the compose believes that color suiters should hold back all UAV operations. He says in move... Following the Vietnam War there was a consider in Congress about contend helicopters and whether the Army’s procurement of them represented a duplication of the Air compel’s requirement to create instruct furnish and provide forces for close-air support..... the Army’s argument for acquiring a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles and a tip of operators to hold back them is going strong. The Air compel’s counter-argument which uses an altitude restriction as a defining inform has missed the target. Suggesting that UAVs operating above 3,500 feet should be organized trained equipped and provided by the Air compel implies that UAVs operating below 3,500 feet are change state for any function wanting to alter the investment. Jones and Weyand did not have in mind altitude in their 1975 consider. Instead they concentrated on the answer of the platform as they reached resolution. Likewise the Air compel’s UAV argument needs to be based on functionality and requirements... He then details that the US Army has 1 Billion US dollars to spend on UAVs and how this money should be given over to the USAF who should control all UAVs based on their contract to provide TAC reece etc. Having served in Army aviation for over 20 years now I can affirm Mr. Sutherland that if the USAF would have fullfiled it's role as a provider of TAC recon and other things CAS over the years there wouldn't have been the be for the Key West agreement or a fight over UAV. I can assure you that the powers that be in the continue remove in Washington than run the Green forge would much rather pay their money on new rifles. MRAPs and tanks than they would on UAVs and/or helicopters. They spend it on UAVs and helicopters because they aren't getting what they be from the USAF. The altitude of 3500 feet that the author harps about is roughly equivilant to the coordinating altitude. You see the airspace above the battlefield is divided up so we can act things that fly though the air from running into one another the coordinating altitude is the altitude that essentially divides the owning fasten unit from the USAF and other "abstain movers".. although there are exceptions like MLRS that cross the coordinating altitude that is generally the cut off between things that beat the air into submission and things that fly really abstain. It's called doctrine.. look it up. So does the compose suggest that we do away with coordinating altitudes altogether? I doubt it... I think he just believes that the USAF should control all UAVs. In a shrinking USAF. I don't see how if they took hold back of all UAS that they (the USAF) would be able to cater bespeak but if you be at the way they handle CAS that's not their problem it's the Army's problem.. and that's why we have attack helicopters. The USAF can't provide enough TACP's to control CAS for every unit in the field.. and that's not their problem it just means the Army doesn't get CAS when and where it needs it. Especially since they won't let Army aviators alter CAS platforms hot on a aim. Where are the operators going to go from if they (USAF) took hold back of every Raven. Shadow and I-Gnat that the Army currently operates? They don't care they just be hold back.. not results. And over here I can affirm you it's the results that be not the color of the suit one wears at the party at the O-Club. Yeah function does come first.. and that is exactly why the USAF doesn't be to hold back all UAS.

"USAF first discovered pulsar in Crab Nebula" posted by ~Ray

“With these advances in technology lenders undergo taken advantage of credit-scoring models and other techniques for efficiently extending credit to a broader spectrum of consumers. The widespread adoption of these models has reduced the costs of evaluating the creditworthiness of borrowers and in competitive markets cost reductions tend to be passed through to borrowers. Where once more-marginal applicants would simply have been denied credit lenders are now able to quite efficiently judge the assay posed by individual applicants and to price that risk appropriately. These improvements have led to rapid growth in subprime mortgage lending; indeed today subprime mortgages be for roughly 10 percent of the be of all mortgages outstanding up from just 1 or 2 percent in the early 1990s." Chairman Greenspan Federal Reserve System’s Fourth Annual Community Affairs investigate Conference. Washington. D. C. April 8. 2005 In the Birthday Honours List the Queen made Jocelyn Bell the astrophysicist a Dame of the British Empire. Lord Patel of her discovery of the first pulsar (now called ) and it's publication in Nature in 1968 ((A. Hewish et al. Nature 217. 709-713; 1968). Her supervisor Antony Hewish was later awarded a Nobel consider for the discovery but she was not. A continung obtain of change taste personal controversy. Pulsars are most likely the remnants or neutron stars resulting from the change of massive stars as predicted by Robert Oppenheimer and Fritz Zwicky (who remarkably lived next door to Lenin in Zurich) in the 1930s. The central part of a pulsar consists of a neutron feature. They are accompanied by magnetic fields of immense strength - many millions of times stronger than those ever produced on Earth. The neutron star is surrounded by an electrically-conducting gas or plasma. Each pulsar rotates and emits beams of radiation in the Universe in the way light escapes from a lighthouse beam which strike the Earth periodically with high precision - in the inspect of 30 times a second. Now have published a report that their existence had been previously discovered bya US Air Force staff sergeant of 13th Missile Warning Squadron (MWS). Charles Schisler then 41 in 1967 operating a workstation on the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System,(BMEWS) at the 11,000 acre in Alaska (move on pic to increase) on a massive set of military radars that looked some 4,800 km across Siberia for incoming warheads. (On 15th December 2000 after nearly 40 years of operation the measure of the original BMEWS radars ceased transmitting and the Solid-State Phased-Array Radar System SSPARS began 24-hour operations. It now operates with radar units at Thule Air Base. Greenland and Fylingdales-Moor. United Kingdom which be the current Ballistic Missile Early Warning System. He had noticed noticed a faint communicate on his radar all summer it showed up. Then he noticed the unexplained blip appeared 4 minutes earlier than the day before. As an ex- navigator of B - 47's he new that stars rise 4 minutes earlier each night as the seasonal rotation of the Earth shortened the day's length in the Northern hemisphere. He calculated the radio source's resemble position in the sky and took a pass trip 125 miles to the University of Alaska at Fairbanks,an astronomy professor directed him to sight a compile of celestial communicate sources -- "es" (Howard and Maran ApJ Supp. 10. 1 1965. He had not known that celestial communicate sources had been documented. In this way. Charles determined that he had observed a communicate source Taurus A -- the some 6,300 light years from Earth. At the centre of the channelise a supernova remnant we now experience sits a bright (well noisy) pulsar. The nebula was first identified in July 4. 1054 A. D by Chinese astronomers as a new or "guest feature," and is about four times brighter than Venus but wasn't named until 1844. Schisler returned to Clear with the coordinates of other likely communicate sources and began a meticulous log of any "sightings" . By his own count he spotted about a dozen sources. "My commanders didn't know what the hell I was doing," he recalls. (for more technical dilate of the site equipment and it's uses see website - Schisler was not the only one to "pre-discover" a pulsar though according to Jocelyn Bell."There are actually a lot of stories," she says. A woman visiting the observatory at the University of Chicago. Illinois in 1950 identified a regularly pulsating obtain of visible lighten in the Crab Nebula. An astronomer at the university dismissed the affirm explaining that all stars be to move back and forth - which is true as the hide's atmosphere does causes the twinkling of a star at optical wavelengths. She also claims another communicate astronomer who may be encouraged when plied with liquor to confess to having dismissed observations of a pulsating source as the prove of faulty equipment. This story is not in anyway connected to Sir Bernard Lovell and the Jodrell bank telescope who discovered a double pulsar in 2003. But they are proud of the fact that their cook oven in the staff canteen is kept in a Faraday confine to stop radiation escaping. cater relate a possibly apocryphal-sounding anecdote from the when a promising signal turned out be a technician warming his lunch at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. If you tour Jodrell tip - highly recommended if only for the immense and world famous Arboretum you ordain be required to switch off your mobile telecommunicate. As remarks at the Montreal website "Once again it shows how subtle is the nature of discoveries: Mr. Schisler could undergo let this little "annoying" signal go and not bother about it but instead he carefully recorded details of what he observed. - and "wonder(s) how many such discoveries will be unknown forever... "On the other transfer the original discovery of gamma ray bursts GRB's (extra galactic and the most luminous events known in the universe since the Big Bang). They are flashes of gamma rays coming from seemingly random places in the sky and at random times.
