Air defence systems An Assessment of Potential Health Effects from Exposure to PAVE PAWS Low-Level Phased-Array Radiofrequency Energy This is an electronic book from the US National Academies Press, published in 2005. It is available in full text in Open Book format and was produced by the Committee to Assess Potential Health Effects from Exposures to PAVE PAWS Low-Level Phased-Array Radiofrequency Energy, National Research Council. PAVE PAWS is a phased-array warning system designed to detect and track sea-launched and intercontinental ballistic missiles operated on Cape Cod since 1979 by the U.S. Air Force Space Command. In 1979, the National Research Council issued two reports to address concerns from Cape Cod residents about the safety and possible health effects of the radiofrequency energy from the radar. Following up on the 1979 report, the new report finds no evidence of adverse health effects to Cape Cod residents from long-term exposure to the PAVE PAWS radar. Army Technology - Current Projects Army Technology provides information about defence industries - army. This part of their site provides details of current projects being undertaken by the defence industry. These include contracts for Main Battle Tanks, Armoured Fighting Vehicles, Artillery Systems, Missile Systems, Attack and Support Helicopters. For each project information is also available about approved suppliers. The rest of the Army Technology site can be accessed from here, which gives details of defence equipment, companies and conferences. Army Technology Image Gallery Image gallery of equipment, systems and components of the defence industry including; ammunition and fuzes; armoured fighting vehicles and upgrades; artillery and mortars; bridging and breaching equipment; civil defence, security and law enforcement products and services; explosives; small arms; NBC equipment; surveillance systems; and turrets. There is also a section titled projects which features air defence missile systems, anti-armour missiles, armoured fighting vehicles, artillery systems, attack helicopters, main battle tanks, support helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Building an Air Manoeuvre Capability: The Introduction of the Apache Helicopter (HC 1246) This report was published by the U.K Ministry of Defence in October 2002. It outlines the strategy behind the decision to procure the Apache helicopter and provides a progress report so far. Aspects such as capability gaps, structures and infrastructure, concepts and doctrine, training, recruitment and retention and support are considered. The report makes a number of recommendations. The full text of the report is available in PDF format. GKN Defence An industrial company, with activities in the automotive, aerospace and industrial services sectors. Internet for Aeronautical Engineering Produced by information specialists at Cranfield University, this is part of the Intute Virtual Training Suite (VTS), an initiative designed to teach Internet information skills to the UK Higher Education community. However, the free tutorial is potentially useful to everybody who wishes to improve their subject knowledge of aerospace and defence on the Internet. It takes the form of a "teach yourself" tutorial and includes quizzes and exercises for learners to test their knowledge. It has four main components - a 'Tour' of useful high quality Web sites, 'Discover' gives tips on how to improve searching skills, 'Judge' emphasises the need for critical evaluation of information on the Internet and 'Success' offers practical examples of people using the Internet successfully. NORAD : North American Aerospace Defence Command Formed in 1958, NORAD is a partnership between Canada and the United States to protect the American and Canadian airspace. The web site contains information on NORAD and a brief history, news articles, fact sheets on NORAD interceptor flares and fighter aircraft. There is also a multimedia section which contains images, sound files and film clips about NORAD missions.
