stylized glide path of a target date fund, shifting investments to become more conservative over time. A target date fund (TDF), also known as a lifecycle fund, dynamic-risk fund, or age-based fund, is a collective investment scheme, often a mutual fund or a collective trust fund, designed to provide a simple investment solution through a portfolio whose asset allocation mix becomes more ...
The Avangard (Russian: Авангард, "Vanguard"; previously known as Objekt 4202, Yu-71 and Yu-74) is a Russian hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV). It can be carried as a multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) payload of heavy intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), such as the UR-100UTTKh, [6] [7] R-36M2 and RS-28 Sarmat.
The Scaled Composites Model 437 Vanguard is a stealth demonstration aircraft built by Scaled Composites and Northrop Grumman. [2] Based on the Scaled Composites 401 the model 437 includes manual piloting capabilities and an engine change from the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D to the more powerful Pratt & Whitney PW535 .
Antenna system AS-27/ARN-5 is used with the dual installation of the localizer and glide path receivers. Antenna AN-100 is used when only the localizer receiver is installed in the aircraft. RC-103 components include; Indicator I-101-C; BC-732 control box; BC-733 Receiver W/ DM-53 Dynamotor; AN-100 Antenna (localizer only)
The primary goal was to have the RV change its path during reentry so that anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs) would not be able to track their movements rapidly enough for a successful interception. The first known example was the Alpha Draco tests of 1959, followed by the Boost Glide Reentry Vehicle (BGRV) test series, ASSET [16] and PRIME. [17]
The instructions include both descent rate (glidepath) and heading (course) corrections necessary to follow the correct approach path. A U.S. Navy Sea King makes a ground-controlled approach, 1964. Two tracks are displayed on the Precision Approach Radar (PAR) scope: Azimuth, showing the aircraft's position relative to the horizontal approach path.
A tri-color system consists of a single-light unit projecting a three-color visual approach path. Below the glide path is indicated by red, on the glide path is indicated by green, and above the glide path is indicated by amber. When descending below the glide path, there is a small area of dark amber.
