A decade of opportunities. (Airborne Warfare).	Braybrook, Roy	3281
A disorienting situation afoot. (Digest).		169
Africa: political and economic problems in sub-Saharan Africa have created an increasingly awkward defence market. Conflicts and insurgencies encourage high defence spending, but international pressure is seeking to reduce these conflicts. (Complete Guide).		374
All-spectrum awareness: if helicopters are to fly and fight, their crews need to be aware of all potential threats--hostile radar, laser emitters and incoming missiles and projectiles. EW system houses have developed a range of warning systems priced at a level which rotary-wing operators should be able to afford. (Electronic Warfare).	Richardson, Doug	3449

Europe's industrial picture: as in the US, industrial consolidation has become the game plan in Europe. What we have seen is the rise of a number of companies that can now truly compete on a global scale. (Complete Guide).		314

Is Helo crew training meeting today's demands? Operation Enduring Freedom has seen most fixed-wing aircraft deployed to combat areas only at heights judged to be beyond the range of surface-to-air missiles. Helicopters however can only avoid enemy weapons by their crew's skill in making use of the terrain. Should that fail, only decoys may prevent loss or damage. (Simulation Approach).	Walters, Brian	991
Landing aids for bare bases: the war in Afghanistan has seen US military aircraft having to operate from overseas bases with minimal air-traffic control or blind-landing facilities, and US personnel having to renovate airfields that had been shattered by combat operations. Luckily, rapidly deployable landing aids were available, and newer systems are in development. (In Focus).	Richardson, Doug	2289
Latin America's market: the recent economic chaos in Argentina and the ongoing guerrilla war in Colombia illustrate that Latin America remains a problematic area of the world. Despite all this, it still has tremendous economic potential and conditions should improve if the global economy starts to grow. (Complete Guide).		1986
Letting the bats fly. (Digest).		112
Lockheed Martin. (News).		67
Looking at markets--combat aircraft: the view now shifts to a particular market area in the shape of combat aircraft and, as has already been seen, there are a number of major combat aircraft acquisition programmes in progress around the world. (Complete Guide).		3284
M60 turned Magach 7. (Digest).		67
Many requirements, little structure. (Complete Guide).	Saw, David	814
New breath T-72 genuine upgrade package.		628
New tanks from old: part 1: hull and chassis: bringing older main battle tanks up to a level approaching the latest models is not only possible, but often the only affordable way forward for many armies. Modernisation of, or upgrades to tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles fall under three general headings--mobility, survivability and firepower. (Upgrades).	Maxwell, David	3402
Northrop Grumman. (News).		77

Raytheon Aircraft. (News).		60
Raytheon has been awarded a $14 million contract from the US Department of Defense High Performance Computing Modernization Office at the Army Research Laboratory to more than double the computational capability of the laboratory's high performance computing environment to over 7.1 TeraFlops (7.1 x [10.sup.12] floating point operations per second). (News).		72
Raytheon. (News).		65
Rotary wings for a new millennium: new-generation helicopters will feature varying degrees of low observable technology while the latest structural materials make possible significant advances in weight, aircrew workload reduction and fatigue life. This article is aimed at highlighting the latest inputs in today's helicopter technology and providing a foretaste of things to come. (Technology).	Braybrook, Roy	4834
Russia and Eastern Europe: if defence exports are becoming more important in Western Europe, they are vital in Russia. Over the course of little more than a decade, Russia has had to cope with the loss of superpower status, a massive decline in the numbers and quality of its military forces and the need to totally reorganise its military industrial complex. (Complete Guide).		679
Russian defence industry--a force to be reckoned with. (Defence Industry Report).	Biass, Eric H.	2193
Sea Slice makes the cut. (Digest).		154
Search, find, report and (maybe) strike! Weary of dependence on assets owned by the US services (and on their willingness to share information), the leading Euro-Nato nations are now taking action to develop and procure independent means of ground surveillance and battlefield management. Rather than aiming for Nato-wide equipment commonality, the watchword now is interoperability. (Unmanned Flight).	Richardson, Doug	4979
SeaSparrow's seaborne attack. (Digest).		101

The DSP-5000 Fibre-optic Gyro (Fog) from KVH accepts data input as fast as 500 degrees per second and offers consistent accuracy over time and temperature. (Digest).		127
The European scene: although the European Union (EU) and its member states might see `Euroland' as a potential political and economic superpower, this remains only a dream in a defence context. There is very little support for increasing defence expenditure either at a political or popular level. (Complete Guide).		645
The Horizon on the Horizon. (Digest).		95
The Middle East: the six monarchies of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that make up the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have around 45 per cent of the known oil reserves in the world. (Complete Guide).		641
The right place to be. (Digest).		115
The US industrial perspective: rotary-wing aircraft now in the development phase will introduce a wide range of advances to improve aerodynamic performance while reducing pilot workload, empty weight, vibration, detectability and maintenance costs. Dramatic improvements are possible in the longer term. (Complete Guide).		382
