It would be really nice if something were to come out of this. With full kudos to the crews who operated the Sperwer on ROTO 3 they pushed the Sperwer to its limits and did some really great work.  It definately was an effective combat multiplier. However, it is not designed for the job that it...

MG - That was one Hell of a post. Thank you.  :salute: Scotty

"...To your Fallen Comrades salute..." (I've grown to hate those words...) :salute:

STA in the 'Artillery' sense refers directly to a three pronged approach: 1) Mini UAVs (MUAVs) - the Elbit Systems SkyLark is deployed to the Sandbox right now 2) Soundranging - The UK HALO (Hostile Artillery Locating) Digital System is theatre now 3) CRAM - Counter Rocket and Mortar - The have...

The Air Defense Role for 2007 has moved away from "traditional" AD, the bread and butter for at least half the Reg't is Airspace Coordination. 119 Bty in Moncton is focused on training and conducting this role in theatre. There have been ASCC's Airspace Coordination Centres in the sandbox since...

*sheepish* ahhh point taken.....thanks.

This may be a bit of a hijack, but being an 'infrequent/ deliquent' poster here, is there a dedicated thread to Crossfit, and people's opinions? If not what are people's thought on this program...25mm Ammo Cans aside?  ;)

I cannot agree with this more. Your whole day is hooped if a 5km run as the sun coming up destroys you. Whether officer or soldier you gotta be able to think on your feet, and think beyond - "I....can't....breathe...ug....dying."

I had the unfortunate Honour of escorting a friend along that stretch of highway, just after 4 July. The entire Escort process is utterly overwhelming and the complete and absolute dignity and respect that people displayed on the trip back to Canada was staggering, but the response along that...

Three words, Man-Love-Thursday's. Just try to find an extra long tshirt and throw on a belt. Seriously though, I tried to keep a couple pairs in reserve for towards the end of the tour. I stayed in KAF the whole time but had my feet in boots upwards of 14+ hours a day and the wore out quick...

a_majoor I agree with your points with some caveats- 1) The Global Hawk would be more ideal for Coastal Surveillance, but are we set up strategically and doctrinally to operate something of this magnitude? 2) The Predator (or something similiar) is much needed in A-Stan, the capacity and...

It is amazingly difficult to seek competition for specific operational material when normally there is one company that makes it.  I can testify to this from a training perspective when working with the Vindicator Drone, there is only one company in the world that makes the props for the darn...

The information from a mini UAV would most likely be a real-time video displayed on a laptop right there at the operator.  It is very simple to set up a Remote Viewing Terminal RVT in the back of a LAVIII or in a command tent somewhere.  Also the imagery is captured to the harddrive and can be...

It has been my experience that not a lot of credits are handed out for any of the OPME's, take for instance the Lawyer on my BOTC who was asked to teach the Mil Law, turned it down, then was required to take the course (until some discussion took place that is  ::)) At any rate, my suggestion...
