reutech is a truly south african defence group supplying local and export customers with advanced original equipment manufacturer products and services in the land , sea and air defence domains , as well as in the industrial and mining sectors .
rrs has developed the perimeter intrusion monitoring system or “pims” that integrates traditional technologies used for asset protection , such as cameras , with ground surveillance radar . the addition of radar not only provides the benefit of persistently surveying large areas , but also includes other attributes such as all - weather day / night capability and geo - referenced intruder position reporting and tracking that enhance security personnel ' s ability to respond .
the radar system underwent exploratory sea trials . the team used data gathered during these trials to refine the design and optimize key parameters in simulink before re - generating hdl in preparation for the next trial .
reutech solutions is known throughout sub - saharan africa for its cutting edge design and support infrastructure solutions . we have been providing world - class products & services throughout south africa since 1963 , cultivating a reputation for reliable and trustworthy solutions .
reutech offers several digital product options , which can be customised to suit different requirements and markets . the new generation qt100 range of mpeg - 4 set top boxes is specifically designed for reliability , usability , low power consumption and affordability .

floodlight radar system for detecting and locating moving targets in 3d . stealthrad™ a global provisional patent on the sub - surface profiler ( ssp ) . the non - level deployment functionality of the msr was patented in selected countries .
the benefit that radar brings to a security solution is that it is able to provide a much wider simultaneous coverage zone than cameras are able to achieve . whilst radar is accurately able to locate an intruder , it is however unable to classify the type of intruder , and thus relies on the camera to advise the operator of the nature of the intrusion . this is especially relevant in environments where intruders may not necessarily pose a threat , such as when wildlife enters the surveillance zone .
reutech fuchs electronics designs and manufactures electronic fuzes for tube - launched ordnance and aircraft bombs . fuze functions include proximity ( airburst ) , point detonation , point detonation delay and electronic time . a range of pre - fragmented aircraft bombs qualified on most modern aircraft are also manufactured .
in the past , rrs engineers developed similar systems by designing individual elements of the signal processor separately and manually writing hdl code . when the entire design could not fit on a single fpga , the team had to develop a framework for data communication between the elements . system - level debugging could not begin until the elements were integrated .
late last year the south african electronics industry , the council for scientific and industrial research ( csir ) , the south african national defence force , the air traffic and navigation services and other institutions celebrated the 75th anniversary of radar in this country . on december 16 , . . .

a radar system built for operation at sea must handle wide - ranging conditions in a dynamic environment . the rrs team needed to update and refine the design rapidly based on data gathered during sea trials . this challenge was compounded by the complexity of the signal processing algorithms , which had to calculate clutter statistics over time to determine thresholds for the adaptive detectors .

figure 1 : an element of the pims system integrated on a multi - purpose demonstration platform .
industrial , civil and residential security solution providers are experiencing an increase in the demand for additional security techniques outside of the field of conventional technologies used for perimeter protection and wide area surveillance .
the pims solution provides the facility to define warning and alarm zones within its surveillance area . these zones may be set up on a geo - referenced visual map interface , with the system able to cue pan - tilt - zoom cctv cameras to the location of potential intruders as they enter these warning and alarm zones , and thus assess the threat .
multiple sensor / camera combinations , linked via cable or wifi may be deployed to provide coverage along an extended perimeter line , or over a wider coverage area . the control room in which the monitoring takes place may be local ( for example at the site where the surveillance is taking place ) or remotely at any other location interconnected to the surveillance site via web - based operator interface .
specific fields of interest and application for this system include operations against copper theft , monitoring of large areas to combat illegal mining activities , intruder detection for residential security estates and the enhancement of the surveillance of national key points such as airports , harbours , power generation plants and refineries .

“completing this project on time without model - based design would have been very difficult . the ability to generate code with hdl coder and to separate signal processing algorithm design from detailed hardware implementation helped us reduce effort on the project by two engineer - years . ”
“model - based design enabled us to separate the engineering effort required for the low - level signal processing architecture—with its associated io and data transfer channels—from the effort needed for the core signal processing algorithms , ” says kevin williams , system engineer at rrs . “this approach saved time , reduced risk , and helped us to get the best from a team of engineers from both disciplines . ”
rrs engineers wanted to start system - level verification earlier in the development process to identify and resolve defects as soon as possible . they also sought to speed development iterations by automatically generating hdl code instead of writing it by hand .
rrs engineers developed the rsr 210n signal processing system in matlab and simulink and implemented it in hdl using hdl coder™ .
working in matlab , the engineers developed algorithms for core components of the signal processor . after debugging and verifying the components in matlab , they modeled the algorithms in simulink , using stateflow ® to model state machine control elements .
the engineers integrated individual simulink models of the signal processor’s digital pulse compressor , doppler filters , navigation video processor , and adaptive constant false - alarm rate ( cfar ) and blade flash detector into a complete system model .
after verifying the accuracy of their algorithms via simulations in simulink , the engineers converted the floating - point design to fixed point using fixed - point designer™ .
the engineers generated more than 75 , 000 lines of hdl code from their model using hdl coder .
during fpga tests , the team logged results and other diagnostic data . this data was postprocessed in matlab to verify the hdl implementation against the simulink model .
development time cut by two engineer - years . “model - based design enabled us to reduce development time by about two engineer - years compared with hand - coding , ” says williams . “we spent significantly less time getting our algorithms to function correctly and translating them to hdl . ”
signal processing designs reused . “during the rsr 210n project we established a best practice of parameterizing simulink component models so that data types , memory depths , bus widths , and other aspects of the design can be easily reconfigured , ” says williams . “as a result , we have been able to reuse several components in other projects . ”
reliable firmware delivered . “the signal processor firmware that we developed using model - based design remained largely unchanged for two years before the first system delivery , ” williams says . “based on our experience with past projects , we did not expect to achieve that level of reliability and accuracy so early in the process . ”

australia post and qantas freight have announced the addition of a b737 - 400 freighter to the dedicated domestic air network used exclusively by australia post and startrack customers .
qantas remains exposed to tens of millions of dollars of damages for its part in a global air freight cartel , after receiving a $ 20 million fine in australia .
it is the second time qantas has had to pay a fine in the air freight price fixing case . in late 2007 , qantas agreed to pay a $ us61 million fine to the us government after its investigation of the case .
already qantas has been fined more than $ 160 million for conspiring with other carriers to raise the price of freight by imposing fuel and security surcharges between 2000 and 2006 .
about time qantas freight took hold of its international links and used its own aircraft , will look out for the b747 but doubt we will see it very often in perth .
in may qantas ' s former head of freight in los angeles , bruce mccaffrey , became the first airline executive to agree to serve jail time in relation to the cartel .
the air - freight market tends to be the canary in the coal mine for airlines . in the midst of the global financial crisis in 2008 , demand for freight fell considerably further and faster than passenger traffic .
good decision , but they did leave their run a bit late to get into freight under the qantas brand . anyway , can’t wait to see it in the qf livery too .
as part of an overhaul , qantas is folding into its freight division the underperforming australian air express , whose fleet includes four boeing 737 - 300s and three bae - 146 jets .
and despite a $ us61 million fine in the us last year after admitting to its involvement in the cartel , qantas still faces a class action brought by freight clients in america .
qantas chief executive geoff dixon offered an unreserved apology and said :
qantas is one of the first airlines to settle its liability in australia .
devices containing lithium - ion batteries over 160wh are not permitted as passenger baggage and must be sent as freight .
with access to the entire qantas fleet , along with jetstar , plus our global alliance and interline airline agreements , your freight can be delivered to just about any airport in the world .
the agreement still needs approval from australia ' s federal court , where the local regulator is suing both qantas and british airways for alleged price fixing on air freight between 2002 and early 2006 .

qantas chief executive geoff dixon said the agreement , once accepted by the federal court , would settle the liability in australia for qantas and all of its current employees .
any items carried are for personal use only . commercial quantities are not permitted as passenger baggage and must be sent as freight .
the law firm maurice blackburn also began a $ 200 million class action in australia last year against qantas and six other airlines , including british airways and air new zealand , for allegedly fixing freight rates for cargo .
the aircraft joins the qantas freight subfleet which delivers domestic mail , parcels and express post for australia post and its subsidiary startrack express as part of a five - year , $ 500 million contract signed in 2015 . it has been painted in startrack livery with the qantas flying kangaroo on the tail .
“qantas apologises unreservedly for the conduct of the employees involved ; all qantas employees are expected to comply with the law and we take any failure to comply very seriously . ”
“qantas freight now has a five per cent share of the cargo market from china to the united states , flying from both shanghai and chongqing . we have a strong presence in other parts of asia and new zealand .
the settlement comes after the australian competition and consumer commission launched action in the federal court against qantas and british airways over the air freight cartel , which has been investigated by global competition watchdogs for more than two years .
all carriers except qantas appealed to the eu ' s general court against the commission ' s 2010 decision . since qantas did not appeal , the 2010 decision became final for it .
in addition to the core business of transporting passengers and air freight , qantas operates a number of subsidiaries , including qantaslink and jetstar , and also has interests in associated businesses , including inflight catering , and holiday and travel operations .
devices containing lithium - metal batteries with a total lithium metal content over 2g are not permitted as passenger baggage and must be sent as freight .
qantas international and freight chief executive gareth evans said : “this new fleet is about providing australia post with the capability it needs to bring australians a great delivery service and respond to the big changes we’re seeing with the online shopping boom . ”
the us department of justice has released a plea agreement signed by qantas in november in which it admits a six - year involvement in a freight cartel and gives an undertaking to pay a $ us61 million ( $ a69 million ) fine .
bruce mccaffrey , former qantas vice president of freight for the americas , will plead guilty to price - fixing , serve eight months in jail and pay a $ 20 , 000 criminal fine , the u . s . department of justice said .
online shopping is particularly popular on the weekends , which means australia post ships 20 per cent more air freight on mondays than it does on tuesdays .

qantas last year beat out virgin australia for the australia post contract as part of a tender process . virgin began building its own freight business last july after ending an eight - year relationship where cargo in the belly of its aircraft was managed by toll .
mr joyce said his airline would continue to be
aggressive and flexible and adaptable
when it came to freight tenders in the increasingly competitive domestic market .
the freight division booked a pre - tax profit of $ 22 million in the first half of this financial year , down from $ 38 million previously , which was blamed on a weak domestic market and strong competition . but the international operations of the freight business were said to be strong in the first half .

the other options include leasing planes , entering into a contract with another cargo airline or renewing the deal with atlas air to carry freight on international routes , including to asia .
brock says the new destination has met expectations , but she is non - committal on the possibility of routing more freighters through emerging gateways in the interior . “china is a key export market for qantas freight , and we continue to focus on being agile to changing manufacturing trends , ” she says .

should it buy the jumbos , qantas is considered likely to house them under its subsidiary , express freighters australia , and potentially hire new pilots .
australian airline qantas has agreed to plead guilty in the us for its role in a conspiracy to fix the price of international air cargo shipments .
qantas will lease a boeing 747 - 400erf to replace an older boeing 747 - 400f freighter that is currently operated for it by an external provider .
since being advised of the allegations in may 2006 , qantas has cooperated fully with investigations by the accc and all other relevant antitrust regulators .
the hook - up also means that qantas’ cargo flows between australia and europe are routed via dubai instead of singapore , the carrier’s transit point so far .
european authorities are still investigating more than two dozen airlines for price fixing , although qantas has already indicated to the european commission that it will admit liability .
accc chairman graeme samuel said the cases against qantas and british airways represented the first in a series of upcoming cases against international airlines over the cartel behaviour .
“we continue to work closely with the emirates skycargo team on opportunities that are mutually beneficial , ” brock says , adding that qantas freight is establishing a regional office in the emirates cargo terminal in dubai , reflecting that fact that dubai is now a key hub in its network . “we share a common vision with the emirates skycargo team , and this has helped us form a productive working relationship . ”
the documents show the qantas ' punishment could have been more severe with the court able to order it to pay a fine as high as $ us117 million .
seven years after qantas admitted to being part of a price fixing cartel a new lawsuit is seeking $ 3b in damages from 13 airlines including the australian carrier .
qantas’s involvement in a global price - fixing cartel could cost the airline millions more dollars in fines after a new lawsuit was lodged in germany and the us .
qantas is in negotiations to buy several boeing 747 - 400 freighters as it weighs up its options before the expiry of a large contract with an american cargo airline .
a federal court imposed the fine yesterday after the airline earlier admitted its guilt to the competition regulator for illegally ramping up its freight charges in concert with other international airlines between 2001 and 2006 . british airways has been fined $ 5 million for its involvement .
but any move to recruit new pilots will draw the ire of qantas ' existing workforce because it has a surplus of more than 200 pilots due to scaling back its international network . captains employed by express freighters earn about $ 170 , 000 a year , half the salary of a qantas captain flying a 747 passenger jet on international routes .

qantas has disposed of many 737 - 400’s in the last decade or so . why not convert one / some of these to 400f’s . at least they have a known history .
qantas admits to price - fixing at least $ us244 . 4 million worth of air cargo from at least as early as january 1 , 2000 , until february 14 , 2006 .
the fine could be the tip of the iceberg for qantas with a separate australian $ 200 million class action involving hundreds of businesses against it and six other leading airlines still unresolved .
[ freight yields ] go down every year in real terms and we know that is the reality of the aviation industry and we just have to make our business more and more efficient in order to make sure we make a profit amid those changing dynamics ,
he said .
qantas group customers are advised to refer to the product safety australia website for a list of electronics and technology devices , including laptops , that have been recalled due to faults including battery issues .
management has had its hands full on qantas’ home turf with the integration of australian air express , having acquired in 2012 the outstanding 50 percent in the carrier that was held by australia post .
“we’re working closely with australia post across the full scale the qantas group’s international and domestic networks , and it’s exciting to be adding to that with the arrival of our largest dedicated freighter . ”
q - go priority - when goods have to go on the flight you choose ; with the highest priority . q - go express - when your freight needs to move faster than usual . q - go classic - reliable , economical shipment of goods and general cargo in a timely manner .
the partners hope that their deal will soon include points in new zealand served by qantas . by mid - may , they were awaiting a decision from the competition commission in wellington on their alliance .
increased demand for online shopping has helped qantas add a boeing 737 freighter to its fleet and to set aside six of its domestic freighters for the exclusive use of its biggest client , australia post .
qantas is the third airline to admit involvement in a cartel . in august , the us government fined british airways and korean air $ us300 million each after they admitted having conversations with rivals about fuel surcharges .
now german state railway deutsche bahn is seeking more than $ 3 billion in damages from 13 air cargo carriers including qantas , singapore airlines , british airways , lufthansa , japan airlines and air france - klm .
in response to both bill & david , once qantas announces the imminent retirement of an aircraft , the aviation market jumps at them because of their impeccable service history . so these aircraft don’t last long on the market and attract top dollar . when retiring a ‘type’ or ‘series’ of aircraft , there’s very little needed to keep them around ‘in case’ someone decides they may want to use them in the future . especially as qantas introduced the replacement 737 - 800 delivering better economics and comfort . qantas , did however , store 737 - 400 vh - tjy . i have no reason why . storing aircraft costs money as well – lots of it .
a qantas spokesman confirmed that the airline was ' ' looking at a range of options , but no decision has been made and we ' re not in a position to speculate about what we might do ' ' .
qantas ' guilty plea sends a clear message that those who engage in price fixing and other forms of illegal collusion will pay a heavy price for their crimes ,
said department of justice assistant attorney general , thomas barnett .
we have the flexibility and adaptability to grow with australia post and it could be a lot bigger than that ,
qantas chief executive alan joyce said .
i hope for both of our sakes that it is .
last may , a former qantas executive accepted an eight - month jail term as part of a plea agreement with the united states department of justice , which had also secured guilty pleas by british airways , japan airlines and korean air lines .
australia ' s qantas airways agreed yesterday to pay a fine of 20m australian dollars , about £8m , for its part in a price fixing case and promised to help regulators as they continue their investigation of 30 other airlines over the same issue .
after some consideration , qantas decided against the 747f purchase option and instead decided to lease a newer 747 - 400f , which should come on stream by the end of the year . the newer model offers greater range and capacity at improved efficiency , according to brock .
when the agreement was unveiled last year , qantas’ board signaled that it was looking to develop a partnership well beyond interline and codeshare activities . ultimately , they were aiming for integrated network collaboration with coordinated pricing , sales and scheduling as well as a benefit - sharing model .
on 30 september 2010 , the jetset travelworld group ltd which comprised of qantas holidays , qantas business travel and the jetset travelworld retail group , completed a merger with stella travel services pty . ltd . the merged company is listed on the australian stock exchange as the jetset travelworld group ( jet ) and is an integrated travel business operating a number of wholesale ( inbound and outbound ) travel businesses , a range of franchise based and affiliate retail travel agency networks , an air consolidation and airline representative operation , as well as , corporate travel management services .
one of the firm ' s principals , kim parker , said the admissions by qantas and british airways would make it difficult for them to
run other lines of defence
in the class action .
it will be hard to make blanket denials ,
she said .
law360 ( may 8 , 2008 , 12 : 00 am edt ) - - a former top - ranking executive of qantas airways ltd . has agreed to plead guilty to his role in a conspiracy among several international airlines to fix rates for air cargo shipments , federal investigators said thursday .
qantas airways ( qan ) reported a smaller than expected underlying loss of $ 646 . 0m for the fy14 and slightly better than forecast sales . bigger than anticipated write - downs and impairments of $ 2 . 6bn on its international fleet however led qan to a $ 2 . 84bn net loss after tax .
the companies fined in 2010 were air canada , air france - klm , british airways , cargolux , cathay pacific airways , japan airlines , lan chile , martinair , qantas , sas and singapore airlines . a 12th cartel member , lufthansa , and its subsidiary , swiss international air lines , received full immunity from fines .
meanwhile , the other large transformation for qantas took shape at the end of march , when the alliance with emirates became operational . pairing up with the middle eastern carrier created a joint network covering 233 points . for the australian airline , it brought access to 65 destinations in europe , the middle east , north africa and asia .
qantas has already been fined by the us department of justice ( $ 65 million ) , the canadian competition authority ( $ 155 , 000 ) , the australian competition and consumer commission ( $ 20 million ) , the european commission ( $ 12 million ) and the new zealand commerce commission ( $ 4 . 8 million ) in relation to the cartel .
all but one of the companies ( qantas ) subject to the 2010 decision challenged the decision before the eu ' s general court . in december 2015 , the general court annulled the commission ' s decision against the 11 cartel participants that appealed , concluding that there had been a procedural error . however , it did not rule on the existence of the cartel .
for the most part , the carrier’s 747fs go from down under to china and then head across the pacific , the main reason for the airline’s 5 percent share of the china - u . s . airfreight market . initially , this activity was concentrated on shanghai , but in 2012 , qantas followed the migration of production to china’s interior and shifted one flight to chongqing .
the reality is , is that yes the alternatives to qantas , being virgin , and the opportunities that they were presenting were attractive ,
he said .
but what we really needed was coverage . we needed the breadth and the depth of service to match the offering that we have nationwide . the addresses that we go to all over australia are vast . and we offer this express post product which is a guaranteed one - day service .
the airline is believed to have entered talks to buy up to four second - hand jumbos - one of which has a sticker price of about $ us60 million . but qantas is yet to commit to a purchase of dedicated freighter aircraft . it is one of several options the airline is considering before the expiry early next year of a contract to lease two 747s and crew - known as a wet lease - from atlas air . a wet lease on another atlas air jumbo is up in 2015 .
in the ongoing downdraft , airlines have been shedding freighters left , right and center . above all , fuel - thirsty older types like the 747 - 400bcf have been pulled out of service as the combination of poor yields and high fuel costs crippled their viability . in this setting , the news that qantas was considering the acquisition of as many as four second - hand 747 - 400 freighters raised quite a few eyebrows when it surfaced in march . so far , the airline has managed with three 747 freighters – all of them leased .
the answer is simple . excellent service , great value and an award winning airline .

firing at a vehicle is a controversial practice in which a person discharges a gun at an automobile .

many police departments , including those of new york city , virginia beach , and prince william county , virginia , have rules specifically banning officers from engaging in it , even when the officer is about to be run down by the vehicle .

firing at a vehicle is viewed as being generally ineffective and posing many risks .

for instance , the bullet may go through the car windows and strike an innocent bystander on the other side .

not only that , but firing at an automobile may bounce the bullet back at the officer , if the metal is strong enough .
