Cavalier Air Force Station Cavalier Air Force Station is a United States Air Force installation in Pembina County , North Dakota , home to the 10th Space Warning Squadron of the 21st Space Wing based at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado . The station is located approximately 5 km north and 3 km west of Mountain , about 20 km from Cavalier . The facility was built as a part of the Stanley R . Mickelsen Safeguard Complex supporting the U . S . Army ' s Safeguard anti - ballistic missile program . The Safeguard program was deactivated in 1976 , and the site handed to the Air Force . Mission . The station monitors and tracks potential missile launches against North America with the AN / FPQ - 16 Perimeter Acquisition Radar Characterization System ( PARCS ) . In addition , PARCS monitors and tracks over half of all earth - orbiting objects to enable space situation awareness and space control . Both American and Canadian military members are assigned to the facility , as well as contractor employees . AN / FPQ - 16 PARCS . The AN / FPQ - 16 PARCS is a phased array radar system housed in a 37 m ( 121 ft ) tall structure which continuously provides critical missile warning and space surveillance data to North American Aerospace Defense Command ( NORAD ) , United States Strategic Command ( USSTRATCOM ) , and regional combatant commanders . Its single - faced phased array radar is pointed northward over Hudson Bay . In normal operation PARCS can spot an object the size of a basketball ( 24 cm ) at 3000 km ( 2000 miles ) . Tests during the 1970s & 1980s showed that with proposed software updates ( not carried out ) it could spot objects less than 9 cm in size . It analyzes more than 20 000 tracks per day , from giant satellites to space debris .
Shoreham Redoubt Shoreham Redoubt is a defensive structure at the entrance to Shoreham harbour , at the mouth of the River Adur in West Sussex , England . It was planned during the 1850s in a period of alarm about a possible French attack . Construction was completed in June 1857 at a cost of £11 , 685 . The design is similar to that of Littlehampton Fort , which had been built in 1854 . Description . The fort consisted of a gun platform 15 ft ( 4 . 6m ) above sea level and was in the shape of a lunette , that is a straight sided crescent . The gun platform and ramparts were surrounded by a ditch , with a Carnot wall running along its centre , designed to halt attackers attempting to cross the ditch . The wall itself had loopholes for defenders to fire through . In the place of the open bastions at the Littlehampton fort Shoreham had a caponnier with a brick roof at each of the three angles of the walls . This meant that riflemen could fire along the walls at besiegers in the ditch . The central caponnier straddled the ditch and was connected to the fort by a tunnel under the gun platform and ramparts . The East and West caponniers doubled as latrines . A barrack block at the rear had room for 38 men . The fort was armed with six 68 pounder guns on traversing platforms . Later History . The fort was garrisoned by the 1st Sussex Volunteer Artillery , who were considered to be one of the top volunteer artillery units and won a prize for the accuracy of their shooting in 1865 . A review in 1873 found that its armaments were obsolete and its construction inadequate . The fort was also considered to be too vulnerable to attack from the land . It was recommended that a new stronger and more defensible fort be built on a site nearby , but this was never done . Towards the end of the nineteenth century new guns were installed . In the early twentieth century the fort served as an open - air film studio for early silent movies , with four films made there in 1914 . During World War 2 the fort became an Emergency Coastal Battery with searchlights and artillery . After the War its barrack block was demolished and a coastguard tower built on the gun platform . A restoration was undertaken by West Sussex County Council in 1977 / 78 . The site today . Today the gun platform , ditch , Carnot wall and caponniers can be seen in their restored state . The foundations of parts of the barrack block and parade ground can be made out . The World War 2 observation post can be seen on the West rampart . Outside the fort to the East is an observation tower , now operated by volunteers from the National Coastwatch Institution and used to watch the harbour entrance and sea approaches . The Redoubt is currently being further restored by a local group of volunteers , the Friends of Shoreham Fort , the aim being to restore it and create a museum based in the ammunition store beneath the old Coastguard tower which has been demolished .

Laser Weapon System The Laser Weapon System or LaWS is a directed - energy weapon developed by the United States Navy . The weapon is to be installed on the for field testing in late 2013 or early 2014 . In 2010 , Kratos Defense & Security Solutions was awarded an 11 - million - dollar contract to develop LaWS in support of the Naval Surface Warfare Center ( NSWC ) for the U . S . Navy ’ s Directed Energy and Electric Weapon Systems ( DE & EWS ) program . The May 2012 NSWC test used a CIWS control system to enable the beam director to track the UAV target . The intended use of the LaWS is ship - defense against drones or small - boat attackers ( whether suicidal or not ) ; the LaWS at present is not designed to engage incoming missiles , large aircraft , ships , or submerged objects . LaWS utilizes a solid - state infrared beam which can be tuned to high output to destroy the target or low output to warn or cripple the sensors of a target . Among the advantages of this device versus projectile weapons is the low cost per shot , as each firing of the weapon requires only the minimal cost of generating the energetic pulse ; by contrast , projectile weapons must be designed , handled , and transported , take up storage space , and require maintenance .
Fort Sherman Fort Sherman is a former United States Army base in Panama , located on Toro Point at the Atlantic ( northern ) end of the Panama Canal , on the western bank of the Canal directly opposite Colón ( which is on the eastern bank ) . It was the primary defensive base for the Atlantic sector of the Canal , and was also the center for US jungle warfare training for some time . Its Pacific - side partner was Fort Amador . Both bases were turned over to Panama in 1999 . History . Idaho . A previous Fort Sherman ( 1878 – 1900 ) was located in the United States at Coeur d ' Alene , Idaho . General William T . Sherman ( 1820 – 91 ) had recommended the site in north Idaho after an inspection tour in 1877 . It began as a camp the next year , became Fort Coeur d ' Alene in 1879 , and the adjacent city grew . Sherman later visited the fort and it was named for him in 1887 , three years after his retirement from the U . S . Army . The fort became unoccupied during the Spanish - American War and was abandoned shortly after . The site is now the campus of North Idaho College . Panama . Concurrent with the Canal construction a number of defensive locations were developed to protect it , both with coastal defense guns , as well as military bases to defend against a direct infantry assault . Fort Sherman was the primary Atlantic - side infantry base , while Fort Amador protected the Pacific side . Construction of Fort Sherman began in January 1912 as a phase of the original 1910 defensive plans . Fort Sherman was named by War Department General Order No . 153 dated November 24 , 1911 , in honor of General Sherman . The Fort included of land , about half of which was covered by jungle .

After the decommissioning of the U . S . Army Coast Artillery Corps the forested area was used by the United States Army South ( USARSO ) Jungle Operations Training Center ( JOTC ) . JOTC was founded in 1951 to train both US and allied Central American forces in jungle warfare , with an enrollment of about 9 , 000 a year . The JOTC also taught a 10 - day Air Crew Survival Course , open to all branches of service , and a four - week Engineer Jungle Warfare Course . Upon completion of the course the Jungle expert badge or patch was awarded . Between 1966 and 1979 1160 sounding rockets with maximum flight altitudes of 99 kilometres were launched at Fort Sherman .

Askeri Askeri ( Ottoman Turkish : عسكري ) is an Ottoman Turkish term that refers to a class of imperial administrators in the Ottoman Empire . This elite class consisted of three main groups : the military , the court officials , and the religious clergy . Though term itself literally means " " of the military " " , it more broadly encompasses all higher levels of imperial administration . To be a member of this ruling elite , one thus had to hold a " political " office in the service of the Ottoman Empire , meaning that both Muslims and non - Muslims in those positions could be considered " askeri " . After Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798 there was a reform movement in Sultan Selim III ’ s regime , to reduce the numbers of the Askeri class , who were the first class citizens or military class ( also called Janissary ) . Sultan Salim III was taken prisoner and murdered by the Janissary revolt . The successor to the sultan , Mahmud II was patient but remembered the results of the uprising in 1807 . In 1827 he created a revolt among the Janissaries , kept them all in their barracks and slaughtered thousands of them . It was contrasted with the reaya , the tax - paying lower class , and the kul , or slave class , which included the Janissaries .
