Self-protection demands grow: in common with many other aspects of defence, that of self-protection for aircraft is constantly being revised to counter new threats. That may be just fine for industry anticipating extra business but can prove to be a dilemma for procurement agencies that must ultimately decide what level of protection can be afforded and when.

Detecting hidden threats.	Oct 1, 2003	2360
Sar training--key to securing victory.	Oct 1, 2003	445
Virtual trucks: the increasing use of driver trainers in civilian circles is having a direct affect upon current military training standards. For regardless of the working environment, all truck drivers must obey traffic regulations and learn how to control a large vehicle in all weather conditions.	Aug 1, 2003	328

Innovative solutions to an explosive problem. (Ground Warfare).	Feb 1, 2003	1872
Training today's cavalry: military history abounds with examples where the speed of cavalry has decided the outcome of a battle and in turn, tanks have often overwhelmed an enemy. But a fine tradition alone is not enough to motivate tank crews to give their best; their confidence can be enhanced by the provision of training of such excellence that a feeling of superiority becomes justified. (Simulation Approach).	Dec 1, 2002	922
Barrel inserts help cut costs: an increasing number of countries have to face the severe problems posed by space limitations for training exercises.	Dec 1, 2002	2353

On the point of radical development. (Simulation Approach).	Aug 1, 2002	884
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).	Jun 1, 2002	991
Mission preparation -- the ultimate in simulation? All training, in whatever form, is designed to prepare personnel and their commanders to fight efficiently. Nevertheless, the careers of many in the armed forces will be such that they will reach retirement age without ever being on the receiving end of shots fired in anger. This is as it should be, since war is only conducted when diplomacy has failed. (Simulation Approach).	Apr 1, 2002	988
Battlefield training systems: it is not so long ago that battlefield training was conducted over dedicated ranges such as Salisbury Plain in Britain or Sennelager in Germany, while week long exercises could involve other rural locations. Vehicles and helicopters marked with white crosses would carry umpires through Blue and Red forces to deliver thunder flashes and declare deaths and injuries. (Training & Simulation).

New doctrine puts pressure on air defence; to achieve its objective of fighting wars without incurring casualties, the United States has come to rely upon air power to cripple an enemy to the point where surrender becomes the preferred option. This new doctrine was clearly followed in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan but the conduct of the American-led Nato conflict over Kosovo revealed similar thinking. (Simulation Approach).	Feb 1, 2002	981
The new cavalry -- training attack helo crews: just as horse-mounted cavalry gave way to the main battle tank, so has, some would assert, the time come for the attack helicopter to provide the main spearhead into enemy lines. The helicopter's chain gun has replaced the horseman's lance and Hellfire missiles strike where swords could not have been thrust before. (Simulation Approach).	Dec 1, 2001	965
Driving simulators -- a true cost saver: for countries where fuel costs are negligible, the case for driving simulators may not be immediately obvious, although operating real vehicles such as a tank or other armoured fighting vehicle will certainly be more expensive than using a simulator. (Training).	Oct 1, 2001	1833
Friend or foe? -- training is essential for survival: split-second decisions can spare the lives of a friendly aircrew or result in oblivion for aircraft regarded as legitimate targets. Those onboard a warship or perceived to be a tempting target of opportunity on the battlefield are no less dependent upon the right decision being taken by a pilot. (Simulation Approach).	Oct 1, 2001	907
Communications training -- the key to victory? The history of warfare is littered with episodes in which communications -- or the lack of them -- have determined the outcome of a battle. In the days when messages were delivered by runners or horsemen, the failure to get vital information through could be excused, while signalling by flags, bugles or lamps later improved the chances of conveying instructions. (Simulation Approach).	Oct 1, 2001	997
