The Low Cost Autonomous Attack System (LOCAAS) was a loitering attack munition developed for the United States Air Force (USAF). In 1998 the USAF and U.S. Army Lockheed Martin began to examine the feasibility of a small, affordable cruise missile weapon for use against armoured and unarmoured vehicles, materiel and personnel, and if so develop a demonstration program.

Non-linear Junction Detector (NLJD): A portable NLJD allows the operator to search voids and areas where they are unable to gain physical or visual access, in order to detect electronic components and determine if the area is free from IEDs. Laser IED Detection: Scientists are learning to adapt lasers to detect, or defeat, IEDs. [19]
The light attack and reconnaissance roles are typically filled by turboprop airplanes and UAVs, often at lower cost. [ 2 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 34 ] A concept for U.S. military adoption revolves around the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II , a high-cost aircraft for high-threat missions; a requirement could emerge for the low-cost Scorpion to handle ...
Traditionally IR detectors have very narrow instantaneous fields of view to achieve good enough signal to target ratio. Large detector arrays are therefore required to provide 360° azimuth coverage which is another cost driver. Requires cooled detectors which complicates life cycle logistic support and result in high cost of ownership.
Cheapflights was founded in 1996 by John Hatt. [3] That year, its first website, www.cheapflights.co.uk, launched. [4] In 2000, ex-ABN Amro banker David Soskin and Hugo Burge led a buyout of the website from its founder.
Knife-wielding Tren de Aragua gang members are mobbing border crossings at El Paso, Texas, in an attempt to break into the US — and have said they will attack border guards who try to stop them ...
TSR-2 XR220 at RAF Museum Cosford, 2002. Ferranti developed the first terrain-following radar specifically for the TSR-2. Terrain-following radar (TFR) is a military aerospace technology that allows a very-low-flying aircraft to automatically maintain a relatively constant altitude above ground level and therefore make detection by enemy radar more difficult.
Air France said on Monday that due to the security situation at the destination, it will suspend flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Beirut for the days of July 29 and 30, 2024.
