Unmanned Aircraft are fulfilling critical roles in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are integral in base defense plans and the protection of key infrastructure. They enable commanders to monitor activity throughout their area of responsibility and direct...
Currently, the United States finds itself in a very similar predicament to what Great Britain experienced after emerging from the First World War as she set about the governance of a growing empire during the interwar period. With the stated intent...
Differences between civilian and tactical information systems in the areas of user service and available communications support make feasible treatment of information transport facilities of a tactical information system as an entity. Hence, the...
This study is undertaken to determine whether it is possible to develop a realistic computerized mathematical model for FM tactical radios operating under the influence of enemy jamming. A simplified model of the single channel communication system...
Since the end of the Cold War, changing global dynamics have brought about important political, social and economic developments to Southeast Asia. Foreign relations between the Southeast Asian states have also improved, reducing intra-regional...
Provides Task Force 56 Expeditionary Troop staff officers' reports for the Iwo Jima invasion, including reports on artillery, ordnance, public relations, signals, medical, and transport quartermaster.
The purpose of this paper was threefold. First to introduce basic pulse modulated radar theory while concurrently identifying those analytically descriptive parameters and environmental factors which should be considered in realistic radar...
"The pamphel presents a course in Radio Operating Procedure (Voice) in general and as applied to procedure with SCR 194 specifically. The principles of voice procedures are the same for all radio sets employing voice communications."
This monograph evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese foreign policy towards Africa, discusses the history of engagement of the People's Republic of China with the African continent, and examines the implications of this relationship in...
"This 1975 manual is a guide for commanders, staff officers, and personnel concerned with field artillery communications. The purpose of the manual is to provide, in a detailed but non-technical explanation, the basic knowledge required in the...
The Army is currently embarking on a major peacetime modernization program. As the drawdown comes to a close, the Army is about half its former size and is confronted with a far more complex strategic environment. Virtually any place the Army may...
This monograph probes a very narrow band of Army doctrine--the wheeled vehicle convoy--by asking if that doctrine is versatile enough for the unique challenges of OOTW. The paper focuses on the more dangerous end of the OOTW spectrum, where convoys...
This study is undertaken to determine whether recent technological progress has resulted in the development of modulation techniques which are superior to frequency modulation for use with mobile or man packed military radio sets. A simplified...
Contains the operational plans, orders, annexes, and appendixes of the Plan 2-44. Includes the intelligence, area screening, naval gunfire, assembly and staging, convoys, approach, assault, follow-up, build up, logistics, air defense,...
The Army is becoming increasingly dependent on technical communications systems for command and control although the systems are vulnerable to failure, interception, or interference. The technical complexity of communications systems present new...
Dependence on technological superiority should prompt many questions. What if the Army cannot use the Global Positioning System (GPS) data or it is degraded? Are the troops trained to operate when GPS systems are degraded? What about the precision...
Within the UN, the "Mogadishu Line" is a reference to the failed UN mission in Somalia in 1992-1993, intended to mark the limit of UN peacekeeping capabilities. The UN/African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) has been so disastrous that more...
First introduced into U.S. Army doctrine in 1982, the operational level of war developed to remove politics from an inherently political process. American writers absorbed Soviet writing on the subject and translated it into existing doctrine...
