Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School The Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School ( NAVSCIATTS ) is one of the three original Panama Canal Area Military Schools . The school house now is located at John C . Stennis Space Center in the state of Mississippi . History . NAVSCIATTS traces its history to the U . S . Coast Guard Mobile Training Team ( MTT ) sent to the Panama Canal Zone as a result of agreements made during the Alliance for Progress Conference in San José , Costa Rica in 1961 . During this initial deployment , the need for a permanent training facility was recognized and the U . S . Coast Guard based the " Small Craft Inspection and Training Team " ( SCIATT ) at the U . S . Naval Station , Rodman , Panama in May 1963 . Operation of the team was transferred to the U . S . Navy in June 1969 and it was re - designated as the Small Craft Instruction and Technical Team . As a result of increased training demands , NAVSCIATTS was officially established as a Naval shore activity in October 1982 and formally established as a Naval shore command in July 1983 . The closure of U . S . based facilities in the Republic of Panama ( Torrijos - Carter Treaties ) has resulted in the relocation of NAVSCIATTS to the John C . Stennis Space Center in the state of Mississippi . Possessing some of the finest riverine and coastal training areas in the world , John C . Stennis Space Center provides an ideal training area for NAVSCIATTS . The Pearl River ( Mississippi - Louisiana ) runs through Stennis Space Center . Courses . The school presently offers the below formal courses of instruction in both Spanish and English at various times throughout the year . Many courses are taught by several members of the US Navy Engineering core and members of Special Warfare Combatant - craft Crewmen force .

Castle Cary Castle Castle Cary Castle , ( sometimes called Castlecary Castle ) is a fifteenth - century tower house , about from Falkirk , in the former county of Stirlingshire , Scotland . It is located on the site of one of the principal forts of the Roman Antonine Wall . History . The tower , about high , is thought have been built by Henry Livingstone of Myddillbynning in the period before 1485 . For the 16th and the early part of the 17th centuries it belonged to the Livingstones of Dunipace , and was then acquired by the Baillies . In 1730 , the castle passed to Thomas Dunbar of Fingask , through his marriage to Bethia Baillie . The castle was burned by a party of Jacobites during the 1715 rebellion . The antiquary Alexander Baillie was probably born in Castle Cary Castle , and it was from this castle that his sister , Lizzie , eloped with Donald Graham , a Highland farmer , by leaping into his plaid ( Belted plaid ) . The castle later became the property of the Marquess of Zetland . Description . The castle originated as a rectangular tower with a lower wing , forming an L - shape , and was built from rubble in the late 15th century , incorporating stone from a nearby Roman fort . The original wing was destroyed , then during the 17th century , a wing was added to the east of the tower ; it bears the date 1679 . This was two storeys high , and had an attic , as well as a turnpike stair . Both the main tower and the extension have a pitched roof and crow - stepped gable s , and the original tower has a restored parapet which is crenellated . There is a machicolated projection at the east end of the north wall , at parapet level , although its defensive value would have been limited , as it was not placed above the entrance . It is , however , more likely that this feature is a Garderobe . A turnpike stair leads from the north entrance to the parapet , where there is a cap - house from which the attic may be entered . There is a barrel - vaulted cellar on the ground floor . Traces of 18th century wall painting may be seen in the Hall , which also has the bases and moulded jambs of the fireplace . An iron grille , part of the original defences of the door , is preserved within . Beneath the 17th - century extension , there is a wide ditch which was filled in for the construction of the wing . It may have been contemporary with the 1485 structure .

Grand Island Army Airfield Grand Island Army Airfield was a United States Army Air Forces airfield which operated from 1942 to 1946 . After its closure , the base was reopened as Central Nebraska Regional Airport . History . Grand Island Army Airfield was opened in 1942 , and was one of eleven USAAF training bases in Nebraska during World War II . A portion of the site was a former national defense airport . The site is bordered on all sides by farm ground . The Army Airfield was constructed , in part , over the pre - existing Grand Island Arrasmith Airport . To convert the existing airport into a military airfield , 173 buildings and structures were constructed at Grand Island Army Airfield . The airfield was activated on 1 April 1943 , under the command of Second Air Force Headquarters , Colorado Springs Army Air Base , Colorado . It was used in the early part of the war to train bomber air crews . Later in the war , the field was a staging area for bomber crews preparing for assignments in Guam and Tinian in the Pacific Theater of Operations . It was also a Strategic Air Command base in 1946 . Major engine and airframe repair facilities were available for B - 17 Flying Fortress and B - 29 Superfortress bombers . One bombardment training wing ( Second Air Force ) , and three bombardment groups ( Twentieth Air Force ) were attached to Grand Island during the war . The 242nd ( Operational Training Unit , Very Heavy ) of the 17th Bombardment Training Wing commanded the support elements at Grand Island AAF as part of Air Technical Service Command .

FN BRG - 15 The FN BRG - 15 was a Belgian project to replace the aging M2 Browning in their military and outperform even the Russian Vladimirov KPV , due to lack of funds , the FN shifted all their efforts to the P - 90 PDW , thus closing the BRG - 15 project . Description . First announced in October 1983 , the BRG - 15 was designed to replace aged Browning M2 HB . 50 cal ( 12 . 7mm ) heavy machineguns , and was , probably , the most powerful machine gun ever made , outperforming even Soviet KPV 14 . 7mm . The BRG - 15 could pierce 10mm of steel armour at 30 degrees at the distance of 1350 meters , or , in other words , capable to defeat armour of almost any APC at the distances of 1000 meters and beyond . The BRG - 15 had conventional , gas operated action with rotating bolt , locking into the barrel extension . It had the dual feed , with two belts entering from the top of the receiver , and with bottom ejection port . The gun had feed mode selector at the rear of the receiver , and , when used on tripod mount , a set of spade grips to control the gun . After the testing it was found that the 15mm ammunition caused fast barrel wear , so gun and ammunition had been redesigned : new bullets had driving bands to follow the rifling ( like the large caliber artillery shells ) , and barrel caliber was increased to 15 . 5mm and barrel had been lengthened . In the final shape the BRG - 15 was a very potent gun , but due to financial difficulties of the FN , the company decided to shelve this project in the early 1990s , in the favour of the P90 PDW / submacinegun .

IAI I - View The IAI I - View ( Eye - View in some sources ) is a small reconnaissance UAV developed in Israel in the early 21st century . Like other UAVs produced by IAI , it has fixed landing gear and an 18 . 6 kW ( 25 hp ) piston engine . The Eye - View is also being promoted in civilian markets for forest - fire warning , and in this form is appropriately known as the FireBird . In December 2006 , the I - View was selected as the winning tender in the JP129 requirement to provide a reconnaissance UAV for the Australian Defence Force . The contract for the project was canceled in September 2008 as result of technical problems before any UAVs were delivered . Under a $ 50 million deal , signed in April , Israel Aerospace Industries ( IAI ) will supply Russia with some of its second - tier UAVs , including the Bird - Eye 400 mini - UAV , the I - view MK150 tactical UAV and the Searcher Mk II medium - range UAV . This is the first Israeli sale of military platforms to Russia . References .
