The only text of its kind and required reading for anyone involved in design of air combat vehicles, aircraft combat survivability is an established design discipline for U.S. military aircraft. More importantly, survivability is now an essential part of the U.S. Department of Defense acquisition process. Furthermore, improving public health, safety, and survivability is now woven throughout the civil and commercial sectors. From infant car seats to the design of aircraft cargo bay structures that can withstand internal bomb blasts, the U.S. Government is establishing survivability standards. The extensively illustrated 2nd edition presents the fundamentals of the aircraft combat survivability design discipline as defined by the DoD military standards and acquisition processes. It provides the history of, the concepts for, and the assessment methodology and the design technology for the combat survivability analysis and design of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, UAVs, and missiles. Each chapter specifies learning objectives; stresses important points; and includes notes, references, bibliography and questions.

This is an extensively illustrated text that presents the fundamentals of the aircraft combat survivability design discipline as defined by the DoD Military Standard issued in 1981. It provides the history of, the concepts for, and the assessment methodology and the design technology for the nonnuclear combat survivability analysis and design of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and missiles. Of critical interest to anyone involved in the design and development of military aircraft or airborne weapon systems, the book also will be useful to weapon system effectiveness analysts.

The concept of the Main Battle Tank emerged from the Centurion Universal tank that was developed at the end of World War II. Development of its successor began as early as 1951. The Chieftain incorporated significant innovations including a reclining driver position and two-piece ammunition for greater survivability. The tank entered service in 1967 and was the heaviest armed and armoured MBT within the NATO alliance. The Chieftain saw combat during the Iran-Iraq War, with the Kuwaitis during the 1990 Iraqi invasion and with the British Army during the Gulf War of 1990–91 as special-purpose variants. This book explores the design, development and operation of one of the most influential vehicles used in modern warfare.

GruntGrunt tackles the science behind some of a soldier's most challenging adversaries panic, exhaustion, heat, noise and introduces us to the scientists who seek to conquer them. Mary Roach dodges hostile fire with the U.S. Marine Corps Paintball Team as part of a study on hearing loss and survivability in combat. She visits the fashion design studio of U.S. Army Natick Labs and learns why a zipper is a problem for a sniper. She visits a repurposed movie studio where amputee actors help prepare Marine Corps medics for the shock and gore of combat wounds. At Camp Lemmonier, Djibouti, in east Africa, we learn how diarrhea can be a threat to national security. Roach samples caffeinated meat, sniffs an archival sample of a World War II stink bomb, and stays up all night with the crew tending the missiles on the nuclear submarine USS Tennessee. She answers questions not found in any other book on the military: Why is DARPA interested in ducks? How is a wedding gown like a bomb suit? Why are shrimp more dangerous to sailors than sharks? Take a tour of duty with Roach, and you ll never see our nation s defenders in the same way again.

Deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, the newest land warfare system in the United States Army and Marine Corps, the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle has undeniably proved its value. Designed to meet the challenges of operating in a counterinsurgency environment, the MRAP has taken survivability to a new level. MRAPs are currently manufactured by three companies: BAE Systems, Navistar International Military Group, and Force Protection Inc. Each company manufactures an MRAP according to one of three classifications set by the US Department of Defense: Category I, Category II, or Category III. The Category I MRAPs are designed for urban combat. Category II covers the MRAPs designed for convoy security, medical evacuation, and explosive ordnance disposal. The Category III MRAP performs the same function as Category II but is designed to carry more personnel.Since their introduction in 2007, MRAPs have performed remarkably in the asymmetric warfare environment. Their unique design and survivability characteristics have saved the lives hundreds of soldiers who otherwise would have been lost to landmines or IED attacks. As with any combat system, however, the MRAP is not without its drawbacks.

Battlefield Operating Systems (BOS) as a framework: · Intelligence. · Maneuver. · Mobility and survivability. · Fire support (FS). · Air defense (AD). · Combat service support (CSS). · Command and control (C2). Each BOS is not discussed in detail. Instead, they are used to outline considerations for how the engineer platoon supports the total combined-arms (CA) effort. The bulk of the platoon's missions concentrates on mobility, countermobility, and survivability operations in support of the mobility and survivability BOS. However, the platoon leader and sergeant must have an understanding of the role their platoon plays in supporting all the BOS. More importantly, the platoon leader and sergeant must understand the impact of all the BOS on platoon planning, preparation, and execution.

Tragic situations cannot be predicted, so preparation is critical. Waiting ensures one thing, you won’t be prepared should an incident occur. That is why James Cameron has developed the unique program called P.A.C.E.- Prepare, Act, Care, EvacuateJames’s approach is to decrease vulnerability and increase survivability, with his comprehensive P.AC.E. program.P.A.C.E. was developed based on James’s personal experiences and lessons learned from being involved as a first responders to multiple real-world mass casualty events. From neutralizing threats to treating the wounded, his book gives the perspective which cannot be replicated by those without the same experiences.While others without any real experience give seminars on what “the book answer” says to be correct, he explains what actually works, based on his first-hand experiences.
