Pine Bluff Chemical Activity Pine Bluff Chemical Activity ( abbreviated PBCA ) is a subordinate organization of the United States Army Chemical Materials Agency located at Pine Bluff Arsenal in Pine Bluff , Arkansas . The U . S . Army stored approximately twelve percent of its original chemical weapons at the Pine Bluff Arsenal since 1942 . Destruction of the last chemical weapons occurred on November 12 , 2010 . Pine Bluff Arsenal stored 90 , 409 M55 GB rockets , 19 , 608 M55 VX rockets , 9 , 378 M23 VX landmines and 3 , 705 mustard ton containers . It was also the home for the Binary Chemical Weapons Facility . The facility created the two toxic agents that would combine to form VX as well as built the bombs to deliver the nerve agent . Construction of the facility began in the mid - 1980s and was mothballed prior to completion in the early 1990s as part of the chemical weapons treaties . The Pine Bluff Chemical Agent Disposal Facility was completed in 2002 , and the Army began weapons disposal in March 2005 . By May 2007 , the facility had destroyed all of its GB ( sarin ) - containing rockets and began processing VX - containing munitions . In February 2008 they processed their last VX - containing rocket and in May 2008 began processing VX landmines . Landmine processing was completed in June 2008 and the facility changed over to processing ton containers of mustard gas , the last remaining chemical weapons on site . Workers began destruction of mustard agent - filled ton containers in December 2008 . The facility reached 100 % destruction of its total chemical stockpile of 3 , 850 metric tons on November 12 , 2010 . The facility and Pine Bluff Chemical Activity are undergoing closure operations in accordance with strict internal policies and precedures and federal laws and regulations .

ASARS - 2 ASARS - 2 is the Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar System carried on some variants of the Lockheed U - 2 reconnaissance aircraft . The ASARS - 2 system was developed in the early 1980s by Hughes Aircraft , and is currently supported by Raytheon . It is capable of detecting and accurately locating both stationary and moving ground targets ; target information is transmitted via a wideband data link to a ground station . The radar is capable of producing extremely high resolution images at long range . ASARS - 2 was used extensively during Operation Desert Storm for target location and battle damage assessment . It has also been used to survey damage after various domestic disasters , including floods along the Mississippi River and the 1994 Northridge earthquake . In the late 1990s , the ASARS Improvement Program ( AIP ) incorporated several performance and supportability enhancements into the system . Making extensive use of commercial off - the - shelf technology , the AIP redesign increased on - board processing capability and upgraded the data link . The first of these ASARS - 2A radars was delivered in 2001 . Some features and technologies from the ASARS - 2A system are being incorporated into the Raytheon Sentinel , which is under development as the RAF ' s Airborne STand - Off Radar ( ASTOR ) aircraft .

Project Indigo Project Indigo was started by India in 1962 . An agreement was signed between India and Switzerland to develop an intermediate - range surface - to - air missile ( SAM ) . Indigo was discontinued in later years without achieving full success . Project Indigo led to Project Devil , to develop short - range surface - to - air missile in the 1970s . Project Devil itself led to the later development of the Prithvi missile in the 1980s . Background . The basic rocket research in the 1960s in India was done under Project Indigo . Project Indigo was an Indo - Swiss agreement to develop intermediate - range surface - to - air missiles that was scrapped when India opted for Soviet SA - 2 missiles in 1962 .
Carlton - in - Lindrick knight The Carlton - in - Lindrick knight is a small ( 6 cm tall ) bronze figurine from the twelfth century , depicting a mounted knight armed for combat .

Operation Hammer ( Afghanistan ) Operation Hammer was a British - led NATO operation in the southern Helmand province of Afghanistan . The Task Force level offensive , codenamed ' Chakush ' or ' Hammer ' , began in the early hours of July 24 , 2007 in the area between Heyderabad and Mirmandab , north - east of Gereshk . The operation continued the momentum towards expelling Taliban forces from areas of the Upper Gereshk Valley in Helmand province . A total of 1 , 500 ISAF and 500 ANSF personnel took part in the operation . Most of the 1 , 500 NATO forces were British , mainly drawn from The Light Dragoons , The First Battalion Grenadier Guards - who were providing operational mentoring to Afghan National Army troops ( from 2nd Kandak 3rd Brigade 205th Corps ( Afghanistan ) ) , the ( 12 Mechanized ) Brigade Reconnaissance Force , 26 Regiment Royal Engineers , 19th Regiment Royal Artillery , the Joint Force EOD group as well as troops from Estonia , Denmark and the US .

Aspide The Aspide ( Italian name of " Vipera aspis " ) name is an Italian medium range air - to - air and surface - to - air missile produced by Selenia ( now part of the Alenia consortium ) . It is provided with semi - active radar homing seeker . It is very similar to the American AIM - 7 Sparrow , using the same airframe , but at the moment of its introduction , the Aspide was provided with monopulse guide instead of the conic scan , which made it more resistant to ECM and more precise . This innovation appeared on the Sparrows only with the late AIM - 7M version . Closed - loop hydraulics were also substituted for Sparrow ' s open - loop type , which gave Aspide better downrange maneuverability . Due to this resemblance , and the fact that Selenia was provided with technology know - how about AIM - 7 ( of which it had produced c . 1 , 000 on license ) , has generally led non - Italian press to address Aspide as a Sparrow version : however , Aspide had original electronics , warhead and a new and more powerful engine . Aspide , in its various version , was used both in the air - to - air role , carried by Aeritalia F - 104 s in the apposite versions F - 104S and F - 104ASA , and in the surface - to - air naval role . In the latter it has been replaced by MBDA Aster . Naval Aspide launchers can be adapted to fire Sparrow by merely switching a single circuit board . In the mid 1980s , China imported a small batch of the Aspide Mk . 1 from Italy , then signed an agreement with Alenia to produce the missile locally under license . In 1989 , China produced its first batch of Aspide Mk . 1 missiles using imported parts from Italy . However , due to the European Union arms embargo imposed after the Tiananmen Square incident , China was unable to purchase additional Aspide kits . China subsequently developed its own version based on Aspide Mk . 1 , designated as LY - 60 , and an air - to - air version designated as PL - 10 .
VEF I - 12 The VEF I - 12 was a Latvian trainer aircraft designed by Kārlis Irbītis and produced by VEF in Riga during 1935 to 1941 . The plane was constructed mostly of wood . 12 copies were made .

Action of 1 May 1781 The Action of 1 May 1781 was a minor naval engagement nearly 210 miles off the Port of Brest in which , a 74 - gun third rate of the Royal Navy under Captain George Collier chased , intercepted and captured the 40 - gun Spanish frigate " Santa Leocadia " , captained by Don Francisco de Wenthuisen . Background . On 30 April , the 74 - gun ship HMS " Canada " , Captain Sir George Collier , having been detached by Vice - Admiral George Darby , commander - in - chief of the Channel Fleet , to watch the port of Brest , discovered a squadron of small ships . The squadron dispersed on her approach , upon which " Canada " chased the largest , the " Santa Leocadia " . After a pursuit of 210 miles , the " Canada " overtook the " Santa Leocadia " on the morning of 1 May . Battle and aftermath . After a running fight , which lasted up to an hour and a half , and in heavy seas which prevented the " Canada " from opening her lower deck ports , the frigate surrendered . She had suffered heavy casualties , with 80 men killed and 106 wounded ( nearly half her complement ) , including her captain , Don Francisco de Wenthuisen , who lost an arm . The " Canada " had one of the trunnions of a lower deck gun shot off and suffered ten casualties . What was remarkable about " Santa Leocadia " is that she was noted before the battle as being a remarkably , fast - sailing ship . The discovery of that fact that she was coppered when she was captured came in some ways as a surprise . It was now known to the British Admiralty that other navies had decided to copper their ships as well as the Royal Navy . The " Santa Leocadia " was first in the Spanish service that was coppered , and she was added to the British navy under the same name .
