According to Rear Adm. Henry Ulrich, the director of surface warfare in the office of the chief of naval operations, the United States Navy has set plans to bring anti-submarine warfare, ASW, to the forefront in "a significant way" (Tiron). Demonstrations were planned for January 2004, which would look at off-board active defense in a littoral setting, while a second in May 2004 would examine acoustics and non-acoustics together with a moving area search, and a third in September 2004 would focus on active/passive distributive systems and non-acoustics (Tiron).
According to Navy officials, unmanned undersea vehicles play a major role in anti-submarine warfare and in mine detection. Unmanned systems will "augment manned platforms in every facet of operations on the ground, sea, air, and space, including information dominance and manipulation" (Adams). Chief of naval research, Rear Adm. Jay Cohen, said "The Navy is absolutely committed to all types of unmanned vehicles. First in space, then in the air, undersea and on the surface" (Tiron). As yet, unmanned undersea vehicle programs have not yielded useful war-fighting capabilities for the Navy, however the mine and undersea warfare office has a $1.5 billion budget for the next seven years (Tiron). An expert panel of defense technology has made several recommendations on anti-submarine warfare capabilities, which include "rapidly deployable, active/passive distributed fields to cover a full range of shallow and deepwater environments without frequent reseeding, non-acoustic sensors with long-endurance that can fly at low altitudes, tactical air vehicles and rapid-attack weapons" (Tiron). Longer term suggestions focus on an autonomous anti-submarine sensor system, "large-area, non-acoustic search capability against shallow submarines, long-range standoff ASW weapons and decoys or countermeasures" (Tiron).
Commanders of 21st century submarines will have at their disposal computer workstations that will allow them to directly query and receive data concerning hostile, friendly, and neutral targets (Ehret). Understanding the information needs is essential to the design of this workstation and is the goal of Project Nemo, a project that has required a multiphase approach combining the applied tools...
Sonar Research and Naval Warfare: 1914-1954 During both World War I and World War II, there were a number of informational tactics used by the Navy in order to gain ground on enemy troops. One of those was sonar research, because it provided them with knowledge they would not have otherwise had (Hackmann, 1984). Sonar is not perfect, but a great deal of work has gone into it since its creation,
Xenophobia against people from the ethnic groups America was fighting rose in intensity. Much as French Fries became Freedom Fries for a brief period during the contemporary 'war on terror,' so frankfurters, a German dish, became the more America-sounding hot dog. More seriously the Red Scare, the Palmer Raids, anti-immigrant and anti-African-American sentiment as a result of new migrations of people within the United States created the paradox of
One of the cutest interactive game is found at www. http://www.earthsunmoon.co.uk/ earthsunmoon.co.uk. When you go to this site, you are invited to play a game, where you have to explore the sun, earth and moon to explain to an animated alien from an obscure planet. You first have to get through an asteroid belt by moving your spaceship, then you choose, the sun, moon or earth, and the program goes through
Woodrow Wilson and WWI When people think of the First World War, they think of Woodrow Wilson and his decision to enter the war. However, some scholars argue that it was not Wilson's decision but his cabinet's decision to actually enter WWI. Examined here will be both primary and secondary sources addressing Wilson and the war, which will provide information as to the decision he made and what was really behind it
The strike at Heligoland Bight was not intended to seriously hurt the German fleet. Rather, it was intended to distract Germany from the landing of marines at Ostend in Belgium. Catching the German fleet completely by surprise in its own port, German light cruisers engaged the Royal Navy without proper cover. The Germans lost 3 light cruisers and a destroyer, as well as more than 1,000 men. In great
Perhaps that more timely international cooperation could do better to save innocent people. Stephanie Power covers a period from 1915 to 2001 with the increasing capacity of U.S. response to genocide. While in 1915, nothing could be done about the Turkish genocide in Armenia, the U.S. role increased constantly to the ones played at the end of the 20th century in Yugoslavia and with the role in Saddam's Iraq. Perhaps
