The Interactive Mathematics Program (IMP) is a four-year, problem-based mathematics curriculum for high schools. It was one of several curricula funded by the National Science Foundation and designed around the 1989 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards .
The Combat Estimate, also known as the Seven Questions is a sequence of questions used by military commanders, usually in contact with the enemy, to plan their response, such as a platoon attack. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It provides a means for formulating a plan that meets the exigencies of battle, even in very difficult circumstances.
In 1984, a FLIR unit was installed to give the system an all-weather/night capability. The MIM-72A missile was based on the AIM-9D Sidewinder . The main difference is that to reduce drag only two of the fins on the MIM-72A have rollerons , the other two having been replaced by fixed thin fins.
The number of digits in which a n and g n agree (underlined) approximately doubles with each iteration. The arithmetic–geometric mean of 24 and 6 is the common limit of these two sequences, which is approximately 13.458 171 481 725 615 420 766 813 156 974 399 243 053 838 8544.
The AGM-45A used the Rocketdyne Mk 39 Mod 0 (or apparently in some cases the Aerojet Mk 53 Mod 1) motor, while the AGM-45B used Aerojet Mk 78 Mod 0 which greatly increased the range of the missile. As for warheads, the Mk 5 Mod 0, Mk 86 Mod 0, and WAU-8/B could all be fitted to the AGM-45A and were all blast-fragmentation in nature.
In 1963, the U.S. Department of Defense established a designation system for rockets and guided missiles jointly used by all the United States armed services. [1] It superseded the separate designation systems the Air Force and Navy had for designating US guided missiles and drones, but also a short-lived interim USAF system for guided missiles and rockets.
The Douglas GAM-87 Skybolt (AGM-48 under the 1963 Tri-service system) was a hypersonic air-launched ballistic missile (ALBM) developed by the United States during the late 1950s. The basic concept was to allow US strategic bombers to launch their weapons from well outside the range of Soviet defenses, as much as 1,000 miles (1,600 km) from ...
The WGU-59/B mid-body guidance unit is equipped with DASALS seeker optics which deploy 0.5 seconds after launch. They are attached in between the Mk 66 Mod 4 rocket motor and a warhead and fuze, which increases length by 18.5 in (47 cm) and weight by 9 lb (4.1 kg) over the legacy Hydra system.
