Target Acquisition and Designation Sights , Pilot Night Vision System The Target Acquisition and Designation Sights , Pilot Night Vision System ( TADS / PNVS ) is the combined sensor and targeting unit fitted to the Boeing AH - 64 Apache helicopter . Both systems are independent , but housed together . Lockheed Martin signed the original TADS / PNVS production contract on 30 April 1982 , and the first TADS / PNVS system was fielded in 1983 . Target Acquisition and Designation Sights ( TADS ) . TADS contains stabilized electro - optical sensors , a laser rangefinder and laser target designator . The TADS assembly can rotate + / - 120 degrees in azimuth , + 30 / - 60 degrees in elevation and can move independently of the PNVS . The movements of TADS can be ' slaved ' to the head movements of the helicopter crew to point where they are looking . This allows images from TADS to be projected onto the crew helmet - mounted optical sights , overlaid upon their view of the cockpit and battle space . TADS contains a thermal imaging camera and a monochrome daylight television camera . With the improvements planned with M - TADS in the block III level AH - 64D , the monochrome TV - camera is planned replaced with a full color camera . It also used to contain direct - view optics ( DVO ) which the copilot / gunner ( CPG ) could see through the Optical Relay Tube ( ORT ) . But in recently fielded models of the AH - 64D the ORT along with the DVO has been removed as it was rarely used . It has been replaced in the co - pilot ' s cockpit by a third Multi Purpose Display . Pilot Night Vision System . Mounted above the TADS , the Pilot Night Vision System ( PNVS ) contains an infrared camera slaved to the head movements of the pilot . PNVS can rotate + / - 90 degrees in azimuth and + 20 / - 45 degrees in elevation . PNVS has a high rate of movement ( 120° per second ) so as to accurately match the head movements of the pilot . Arrowhead upgrade . As of 2005 a program was under way to upgrade the U . S . Apache fleet to the Modernized - TADS / PNVS ( M - TADS / PNVS ) standard , also known as Arrowhead . This upgrade is claimed to give a 150 % performance and reliability improvement , while reducing costs through lower maintenance requirements .
Armoured Cavalry Branch Training School The Cavalry school ( ) is a French military training establishment at Saumur . Originally set up to train the cavalry of the French Army , it now trains the troops of France ' s " arme blindée et cavalerie " ( Armoured Cavalry Branch ) in reconnaissance and armoured warfare . History . In 1763 , Louis XV ( via the Duc de Choiseul ) reorganised the French cavalry . A new school for officers from all the cavalry regiments was set up at Saumur , managed and supervised by the " Corps Royal des Carabinier s " - since its inception the school has been hosted in the carabinier regiment ' s quarter of the town , latterly in a magnificent 18th century building . This functioned until 1788 . At the end of 1814 , after the First Restoration , Louis XVIII set up the " École d ' Instruction des Troupes à cheval " in Saumur . Its activities declined from 1822 onwards so it was regenerated by Charles X under the name of the " École Royale de Cavalerie " ( later renamed the École impériale de cavalerie de Saumur ) . Most of its building complex was taken up with a military riding area and a riding - academy training hall . From 1830 , with the disappearance of the École de Versailles , Saumur became the capital and sole repository of the French equestrian tradition , and its knowledge ( such as in the Cadre Noir and its training regime in dressage ) is still recognised throughout the world . At the end of the Second World War the French cavalry ( mainly in a reconnaissance role by this point ) and armoured troops merged to form the ' Arme blindée et cavalerie ' ( ABC ) , with the École de Saumur becoming the new branch ' s training centre . After a 1985 reorganisation , the 12th Light Armoured Division ( 12 DLB ) was planned as a mobilisation division of the French Army , with its headquarters to be formed on the basis of the staff of the " École d ' application de l ' Arme blindée et de la cavalerie " ( EAABC ) at Saumur . The division comprised the 507 RCC at Saumur ( AMX - 30s ) , the 3 RCh ( T ) , also at Saumur and also attached to the EAABC , the Legion ' s 4th Foreign Regiment at Castelnaudary , and the 33rd Regiment of Artillery ( RA ) , at St Maixent , attached to an NCO school .

Engineer Corps ( Ireland ) The Corps of Engineers ( ) is the military engineering branch of the defence forces of Ireland . The Corps is responsible for combat engineering , construction engineering , and fire fighting services within the Defence Forces . The main role of the combat engineers is to provide engineering on the battlefield ; the Corps has successfully leveraged its skill and expertise in several of the Irish Army ' s deployments in United Nations operations . History . Following the establishment of the Irish Free State on 6 December 1922 General Routine Orders were issued which laid down the organisation of the first centralised Defence Forces . From an engineering point of view there were three particular problem areas to be overcome : - To meet these requirements three ( 3 ) Corps were set up : The Corps of Engineers was established and took over from these three Corps with effect from 1 October 1924 . In 1931 Field Engineer Companies and the School of Military Engineering were added to the establishment . Roles . The Corps has a wide variety of roles , covering conventional warfare , and training for the Defence Forces . With such a wide range of skills , the Engineer Corps provide a variety of support to the Army . This support includes anything from the provision of : Missions . The Corps have seen active service in UNMIK ) , Somalia ( UNOSOM II ) , Congo ( ONUC ) , Lebanon ( UNIFIL ) , Liberia ( UNMIL ) & Chad ( EUFOR TCHAD ) - where the Engineer Corps was deployed to construct Camp Ciara in advance of a contingent of more than 500 troops . Future developments . As in all aspects of society , legislative changes and technological advances have required workforces to become more specialised and more highly skilled . The Irish Defence Forces is no exception - requiring specialist skilled engineers . Compared with Defence Forces in other countries e . g . British and French Armies , the number of engineers in the Irish Defence Forces is low , 5 . 5 % against 8 . 8 % and 12 . 8 % respectively .

The tactic was partly successful , but was abandoned after the loss of two C class submarines . In both cases , all the crew were lost . HMS " C24 " was sold on 29 May 1921 in Sunderland .
Festung Norwegen Festung Norwegen ( Fortress Norway ) was the German term for the heavy defense and fortification system of Norway during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany in World War II . By some , including Reichskommissar Josef Terboven , it was thought that these fortifications would serve effectively as a last perimeter of defence of the Third Reich in the event of Allied victory on the continent . In the event , they kept German troops away from mainland Europe and thus helped to end the war quickly . Atlantic wall . Considered an essential part of the Atlantic Wall in anticipation of an Allied invasion , the fortifications in Norway were primarily based around coastal artillery , but also included elements of anti - aircraft batteries , and battle tanks and infantry forces . There were as many as 400 , 000 German troops in Norway during the occupation , a large proportion dedicated to the defense of the Northern flank of the Atlantic wall . The scope of Festung Norwegen originally included the entire coastal perimeter of Norway , from the Oslofjord around the southern coast and to the border with the Soviet Union . Part of the invasion plan for Norway included immediate deployment of German coastal artillerymen in Norwegian batteries , around the main cities of Horten , Kristiansand , Stavanger , Bergen , Trondheim , and Narvik . Coastal batteries . An extensive network of coast artillery batteries with heavy ( > 15 . 5 cm ) , medium ( 12 - 15 . 5 cm ) and light ( < 12 cm ) ordnance was set up around the entire coast . These were typically placed so as to cover approaches to main population centers and likely landing sites . The batteries were also generously equipped with close combat weapons , such as machine guns and small firearms . By the end of the war , there were 221 batteries along the coast , under either Kriegsmarine or Heer command . There were also anti - aircraft artillery ( Marine Flak ) batteries in Kristiansand , Bergen , Trondheim , Bogen , and Harstad ; these were armed with 88 - mm pieces . The tanks available for the German defence were Panzer III s ( 50 mm L60 and 75 mm L24 ) and Sturmgeschütz III s ( 75 mm L48 ) . Fjell fortress with its triple barrel 28 cm SK C / 34 naval gun turret , taken from the battleship Gneisenau , was esteemed as the strongest fortresses in Northern Europe . Aftermath . The war ended without any of the fortifications being used in action . The fortress kept German troops away from the main battles on mainland Europe and thus helped to bring the war to a speedy end . The British Operation Fortitude North was designed to delude the Germans that they intended to invade Norway in 1944 , as well as the Pas de Calais so as to keep their troops away from the Normandy landing beaches .
