AN / TPS - 75 The AN / TPS - 75 is a transportable 3 - dimensional air search radar produced in the United States . It was originally designated the TPS - 43E2 . Although the antenna is a radically new design from the TPS - 43 , the radar van itself , which houses the transmitter , reveiver processors , and displays is very similar to the older TPS - 43E2 . It is produced in the United States originally by Westinghouse Defense and Electronic Division , which was later purchased by Northrop - Grumman . The AN / TPS - 75 is the primary transportable Aerospace Control And Warning ( AC & W ) radar used by the United States Air Force . The TPS - 75 is capable of transmitting 5 - Megawatts of power . ( Although 5 - Megawatts is almost never achieved ; realistically it is approx 2 . 8 Megawatts ) The entire system can be broken down and packed onto two M939 trucks for road transport and mobile air transport by planes such as the C - 130 Hercules or bigger . The entire radar system can be " torn down " and ready for transport in just a few hours . This varies greatly with amount of personnel , their level of training and motivation , and methodology of transport . A typical convoy package would consist of one 5 - ton truck pulling the radar van itself with the radar antenna in the bed of the truck and a support 5 - ton pulling an AN / MJQ - 1632 400 Hz power plant . The support truck would hold some spare parts , fuel tank ( s ) , camouflage netting , and other logistical items as needed . The heat exchanger and - 18 environmental control unit ( ECU ) are normally loaded into and transported within the radar van . There are many add - ons for the TPS - 75 . One of which allows the AN / TPS - 75 to be tilted back to see into the atmosphere assisting in detection of long range ballistic missiles .
USS Trident ( AMc - 107 ) USS " Trident " ( AMc - 107 ) was an " Accentor " - class coastal minesweeper acquired by the U . S . Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing . " Trident " was laid down on 25 April 1941 at Rockland , Maine , by Snow Shipyards ; launched on 8 October 1941 ; and placed in service at Boston , Massachusetts , on 18 February 1942 , Ens . Edmond J . Massello , USNR , Officer in Charge . World War II service . Following a training period at the Mine Warfare School , Yorktown , Virginia , " Trident " reported to Section Base Boston , for duty with the 1st Naval District . During the first week in March 1942 , the wooden - hulled coastal minesweeper plied the waters of Boston harbor and its approaches , performing tasks which would soon become familiar . At night , she functioned as a guard and escort vessel ; then , as sunrise came , she began daily exploratory sweeps , searching for moored , magnetic , and sonic mines in the harbor and its approaches . At times , severe weather or low visibility forced " Trident " to secure from sweep operations ; and , in foggy weather , she helped to regulate harbor traffic . Continuing instruction , drills , and periods of repair broke the minesweeper ' s routine . After " Trident " was assigned to the harbor entrance control post , she had occasion to locate and investigate suspicious small craft — a welcome diversion from the usual inner harbor activities . In June 1942 , the 1st Naval District command was incorporated into the Northern Group of the Eastern Sea Frontier , and " Trident " continued her duties in coastal waters for over three years until 8 August 1945 , when she arrived at Charleston , South Carolina , and reported to the Commandant , 6th Naval District , for disposition . She was placed out of service on 16 November 1945 and her name was struck from the Navy list on the 28th . On 22 October 1946 , " Trident " was transferred to the Maritime Commission ; and she was subsequently sold to Benjamin Feldman of New York City .
Raymond Brown Hesselyn Squadron Leader Raymond Brown Hesselyn , MBE , DFC , DFM & Bar ( 13 March 1921 – 14 November 1963 ) was one of New Zealand ' s top fighter ace s in World War II . Hesselyn was born in Dunedin , New Zealand . In civilian life , he was a machinist . He joined the Territorial Army in 1939 , before joining the Royal New Zealand Air Force . After training , he was posted to Britain in September , 1941 , joining first 61 Operational Training Unit ( OTU ) , then No . 234 Squadron as a Flight Sergeant . In February , 1942 , he was posted to Malta , flying a Spitfire Mk V from the decks of the aircraft carrier , to the island and joining 249 Squadron on 9 March 1942 . On April Fools Day , he recorded his first two kills , a Bf 109 of JG 53 and a Ju 87 of StG 3 . During the month , he shot down another Bf 109 and Ju 87 , and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal ( DFM ) . May proved to be just as productive , with Hesselyn claiming four 109 ' s and a Ju 88 of " KGruppe " 806 . He received a bar for his DFM and was commissioned as a Pilot Officer . Before returning to England , he dispatched one more 109 for a total of 12 claimed victories . After a spell at 61 OTU , Hesselyn joined No . 501 Squadron in early 1943 and then in the summer of 1943 to No 222 Squadron as a flight commander . He shot down two 109s of JG 3 on 17 August 1943 . He received the Distinguished Flying Cross in September . His luck finally ran out on 3 October 1943 . After downing at least one 109 ( claiming three ) , bringing his total to 18 and 1 shared destroyed ( possibly 20 ) , he was forced to bail out of his burning plane and was taken prisoner . He was probably shot down by Fbw . Weigand of I . / JG 26 . He escaped once , but was recaptured and spent the rest of the war making repeated attempts to rejoin the fight . As a result of his conduct as a prisoner of war , he was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1946 . He remained in the Royal Air Force , eventually reaching the rank of Squadron Leader . He died in Uxbridge on 14 November 1963 , aged 42 .
Bezmer Air Base Bezmer Air Base is an air base for the Bulgarian Air Force . The base is situated in the eastern part of the Upper Thracian Lowland , in Yambol Oblast ( Region ) , 10 km west of the city of Yambol and 30 km southeast of the city of Sliven , between the villages of Bezmer and Bolyarsko , and near the Sofia - Burgas railway . The base takes its name from the nearby village , which is named after Khan Bezmer of Bulgaria ( 7th Century AD ) . The strategic location and particularly favorable weather conditions of the area was appreciated already during World War I , when the Imperial German Air Service built in Yambol a base for zeppelin s used for reconnaissance and bombing missions to Romania , Russia , Sudan and Malta . In 1955 the Bezmer Air Base hosted the 22 Fighter Air Regiment , later transformed into 22 Fighter - Bomber Air Regiment , and eventually into 22 Attack Air Base of the Bulgarian Air Force , serving as a base for Su - 25 ground attack aircraft , as well as Su - 22М - 4 and Su - 22UM - 3K reconnaissance planes . Aircraft and personnel from Bezmer have recently been participating in a number of joint military exercises including the PfP " Cooperative Key " in Turkey , Bulgaria , Romania and France , ‘ Immediate Response 2005 ’ and the Bulgarian - American - Romania n " Immediate Response 2006 " . The base has a modern communication , information and navigation system . A second phase of modernization and infrastructure development is underway , including a runway extension , which would expand the range of planes the base can support . The Bezmer Air Base is among the joint US - Bulgarian military bases established according to the 2006 Defense Cooperation Agreement between the United States and Bulgaria . Some experts rank Bezmer among the six most important American military bases outside mainland USA . 42°27 ' 20 . 64 " N 42°42 ′ N 27°15 ′ E
22nd Indiana Infantry Regiment The 22nd Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War . Total strength and casualties .

FMA IA 63 Pampa The FMA IA 63 Pampa is an advanced trainer aircraft with combat capability , produced in Argentina by Fabrica Militar de Aviones ( FMA ) with assistance from Dornier of Germany . Design and development . Preliminary design studies for a replacement for the Morane - Saulnier MS - 760 of the Argentine Air Force started at the Fábrica Militar de Aviones ( FMA ) in 1978 , with these studies resulting in selection of a proposal powered by a single Garrett TFE731 turbofan with high , unswept wings . At the same time the FMA signed a partnership agreement with Dornier to develop the new aircraft . Although influenced by the Dassault / Dornier Alpha Jet design , the " Pampa " differs in being a smaller aircraft , it is also single - engined and has straight supercritical wings rather than the swept ones of the Alpha Jet . It is constructed mainly of aluminium alloy , with carbon - fibre used for components such as the air intakes . The crew of two sit in tandem under a single piece clamshell canopy . The avionics systems are also simpler than the Franco - German aircraft , which has an important secondary combat role . The " Pampa " prototype first flew on 6 October 1984 . Production of the initial series has been delayed and hampered by the state of the Argentinian economy , and as a result only 18 production aircraft have been built in the first batch ( 1988 – 90 ) and 6 in the second batch ( 2006 – 07 ) for the Argentine Air Force . First deliveries occurred in April 1988 . The 18 aircraft are in service , all modernized , with the " IV Brigada Aérea " ( ) at Mendoza for the advanced training role of Argentine pilots . In the 1990s , LTV / Vought selected the IA 63 as the basis for the Pampa 2000 , which Vought entered into the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System competition for the United States Air Force . The Pampa 2000 lost to the Beechcraft / Raytheon entry which became the T - 6 Texan II . With the acquisition of FMA by Lockheed Martin the Pampa went through a midlife upgrade with new engine and a more advanced avionics package compatible with the A - 4AR and weapon system . This new project is called AT - 63 Pampa ( for attack trainer ) and is marketed by Lockheed Martin . The only client is the Argentine Air Force .
MGM - 157 EFOGM The Raytheon MGM - 157 EFOGM ( Enhanced Fiber Optic Guided Missile ) , was a long range enhanced fibre optic guided missile developed for the U . S . Army during the 1980s and 1990s to test the use of fibre optics in missiles . The missile was launched vertically and manually controlled by an operator on the ground by use of a television camera mounted on the nose . The signals from the camera were carried via a thin wire that unspooled the further up the missile reached . The weapon was primarily designed for anti - tank use , or against low flying helicopters .
Type 65 torpedo The Type 65 is a torpedo manufactured in the Soviet Union / Russia . It was developed to counter the US Navy ' s aircraft carrier battle groups as well as to be used against large merchant targets such as supertankers and also advanced enemy submarines . It is now typically fitted to newer Russia n vessels , but often the 650 mm torpedo bay is fitted with a 533 mm converter to enable firing of SS - N - 15 missiles or Type 53 torpedo es . Russian officials have stated that a 65 - 76A modification of this torpedo is responsible for the explosion of Russian Kursk submarine .
Type 79 submachine gun The Type 79 ( ) but more commonly known ( ) is the first generation indigenous submachine gun used by the Chinese military , security , and police forces . The submachine gun was type classified in 1979 and entered mass production in 1983 . The Design type of the Type - 79 submachine gun was completed in 1979 . The production model was completed in 1983 . From the 1981 pilot production , the total production of the Type 79 was nearly 200 , 000 until 1992 . The highest years of production were between 1988 and 1991 . During that period the Type 79 was produced at a rate of more than 30 , 000 per year . Generally firearms take between five and seven years to develop with a typical staff of between four and ten people . The developmental period of Type 79 was 15 years with a staff of over 70 people . The Type 79 is widely equipped by the PLAAF , scout and special operation units , as well as the People ' s Armed Police ( PAP ) and the Police Services . The Type 79 fires 7 . 62 millimeter caliber steel - cored pistol bullets in either the automatic or semiautomatic mode . The gun is gas - operated , with a foldable butt stock . The basic configuration of this submachine gun makes for an ideal size , weight , and capable ( in terms of accuracy , lethality , reliability , etc . ) close quarters battle ( CQB ) weapon . It accepts a 20 - round magazine and has an effective range of 200 meters .
RK - 55 The Novator RK - 55 " Granat ( ' Garnet ' ; NATO : SSC - X - 4 ' Slingshot ' ; GRAU : 3K10 ) was a Soviet land - based cruise missile with a nuclear warhead . It was about to enter service in 1987 when such weapons were banned under the Intermediate - Range Nuclear Forces Treaty . A version launched from submarine torpedo tubes , the S - 10 " Granat ( SS - N - 21 ' Sampson ' ; GRAU : 3M10 ) , has apparently been converted to carry conventional warheads and continues in service to this day . The RK - 55 is very similar to the air - launched Kh - 55 ( AS - 15 ' Kent ' ) but the Kh - 55 has a drop - down turbofan engine and was designed by MKB Raduga . Both have formed the basis of post - Cold - War missiles , in particular the 3M - 54 Klub ( SS - N - 27 ' Sizzler ' ) which has a supersonic approach phase . Development . In the late 1960s , the " Ekho " study conducted by the GosNIIAS institute concluded that it would be more effective to deploy lots of small , subsonic cruise missiles than the much more expensive supersonic missiles then in favour . In 1971 Raduga began working on the air - launched Kh - 55 , which first flew in 1976 . That same year , Later NPO Novator would work on the submarine - and ground - launched versions . In 1993 Novator exhibited the 3M14 / 3M54 Klub ( SS - N - 27 ' Sizzler ' ) , which appears to be based on the RK - 55 . It is a two - stage design , which goes supersonic during its final approach to the target . Design . Six RK - 55 missiles are carried on an eight - wheeled transporter - erector - launcher ( TEL ) based on the MAZ 543 launcher of the R - 17 ( SS - 1 ' Scud B ' ) . The S - 10 is launched through 533 mm torpedo tubes . Operational history . Fewer than 100 SS - N - 21s had been deployed by the end of 1988 . The new Akula class submarine , launched in September 1986 , was the first class to receive the new missile . It was later fitted to the Sierra I / II class and eight Victor III ' s and the new Yasen class submarine s . The " Grucha - class " submarine deployed in 1988 is a design of particular note , replacing the missile launchers on a ballistic submarine with tubes dedicated to large numbers of cruise missiles . They were probably nuclear - tipped RK - 55 ' s during the Cold War , and then converted to use conventional warheads for land attack after the START I treaty restricted sub - launched nuclear cruise missiles . The US Navy has done the same on a grander scale with the SSGN conversions of four s . It has been suggested that RK - 55 ' s could in future be fitted to converted Delta class submarine s , or to surface ships , but these have not been confirmed . The ground - launched variant was subject to the Intermediate - Range Nuclear Forces Treaty signed in December 1987 and had been tested but not deployed by that time . 80 missiles had been destroyed by November 1990 . Variants . Conventional unitary High Explosive ( HE ) warhead and submunition warhead versions of the RK - 55 have probably been developed , to justify the continuing service of the submarines that carry them .

Fast combat support ship The fast combat support ship ( US Navy hull classification symbol : AOE ) is the United States Navy ' s largest combat logistics ship , designed as an oiler , ammunition and supply ship . All fast combat support ships currently in service are operated by Military Sealift Command . The AOE has the speed to keep up with carrier battle group s and the capacity to fully support their needs . It receives petroleum products , ammunition and stores from various shuttle ships and redistributes these items when needed to ships in the carrier battle group . This greatly reduces the number of service ships needed to travel with carrier battle groups . The four ships of the were 53 , 000 tons at full load , 796 feet overall length , and carried two Boeing Vertol CH - 46 Sea Knight helicopters . The " Sacramento " class was retired in 2005 . The ships displace 48 , 800 tons full load and operate two Sikorsky MH - 60S Knighthawk helicopters .
