  2. Wavelength selective switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength_Selective_Switching

    This technology has the advantages of relatively low cost parts, simple electronic control and stable beam positions without active feedback. It is capable of configuring to a flexible grid spectrum by the use of a fine pixel grid. The inter-pixel gaps must be small compared to the beam size, to avoid perturbing the transmitted light significantly.

  3. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

    The variation of refractive index vs. vacuum wavelength for various glasses. The wavelengths of visible light are shaded in grey. Influences of selected glass component additions on the mean dispersion of a specific base glass (n F valid for λ = 486 nm (blue), n C valid for λ = 656 nm (red)) [3]

  4. List of military tactics - Wikipedia

    Penetration of the center: This involves exploiting a gap in the enemy line to drive directly to the enemy's command or base.Two ways of accomplishing this are separating enemy forces then using a reserve to exploit the gap (e.g., Battle of Chaeronea (338 BC)) or having fast, elite forces smash at a weak spot (or an area where your elites are at their best in striking power) and using reserves ...

  5. Dispersive prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_prism

    Photograph of a triangular prism, dispersing light Lamps as seen through a prism. In optics, a dispersive prism is an optical prism that is used to disperse light, that is, to separate light into its spectral components (the colors of the rainbow). Different wavelengths (colors) of light will be deflected by the prism at different angles. [1]

  6. Cooperative Engagement Capability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_Engagement...

    Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) is a sensor network with integrated fire control capability that is intended to significantly improve battle force air and missile defense capabilities by combining data from multiple battle force air search sensors on CEC-equipped units into a single, real-time, composite track picture (network-centric warfare). [1]

  7. Integrated Air and Missile Defense - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Air_and_Missile...

    In air and missile defense (AMD), the Integrated Air-and-Missile Defense system (IAMD) is a United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) research program to augment the aging surface-to-air missile defense systems and to provide the United States Army with a low-cost, but effective complement to kinetic energy solutions to take out air threats.

  8. Lighting control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting_control_system

    The benefit of architectural lighting control systems in the theater is the ability for theater staff to turn worklights and house lights on and off without having to use a lighting control console. Alternately, the light designer can control these same lights with light cues from the lighting control console so that, for instance, the ...

  9. MIM-104 Patriot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIM-104_Patriot

    The MIM-104 Patriot is a mobile interceptor missile surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, the primary such system used by the United States Army and several allied states. It is manufactured by the U.S. defense contractor Raytheon and derives its name from the radar component of the weapon system.
