7th Coastal Defense Brigade The Polish 7th Pomeranian Coastal Defence Brigade is a mechanized infantry brigade of the Polish Army ( based at Słupsk ) . It was formed in 2001 from the 7th Pomeranian Mechanized Brigade ( of the 8th Coastal Defence Division ) . Now it is a brigade of the 12th Mechanized Division based at Szczecin . It bears traditions of the disbanded 7th Coastal Defence Division ( known as the " Blue Berets " ) , previously themselves the 23rd Landing Division ( ) from 1958 – 63 , therefore it is sometimes referred to the Marines of Poland . However , as of 2007 there are no plans by the Polish Army to create an active Marine unit . Therefore the 7th Brigade carries out only limited - scale exercises of amphibious assaults .

RBS 23 The RBS 23 , designated BAMSE , is a Swedish medium range , all - weather capable air defense system developed by Bofors and Ericsson ( now both in the Saab group ) . BAMSE is designed for protection of military facilities , ground forces and high value infrastructures . It is intended to operate against very small and fast targets such as attack missiles , anti - radiation missile s , UAVs and cruise missile s . It can also engage high altitude flying targets . On their web site , Saab mention ground coverage of more than 1 , 500 km² , altitude coverage of 15 , 000 m and range out to 20 km . Components . The system consists of a Surveillance and Control Centre ( SCC ) and two to four Missile Control Centers ( MCC ) . The missile control center trailers are located up to 20 km away from the SCC and interconnected via a cable or radio communications ( up to 15 km ) . Surveillance and Control Center . The SCC is operated by a crew of one or two . It comprises an Ericsson GIRAFFE Radar 3D surveillance radar with an antenna mast of 8 to 13 meters . It is used for threat evaluation , combat coordination , with target acquisition , identification , tracking and prioritisation . The SCC can coordinate up to four missile control centres . The system has a built - in simulation capability to carry out training . Missile control center . The missile control center trailer depends on transportation vehicles which also carry additional missiles for reloading operations . The center is protected against fragments and nuclear , biological and chemical threats . It has two computer stations and is operated by one or two persons . It comprises a Ka - band fire control radar with a 8 meters mast , IRST ( infrared sensor for surveillance and tracking ) , IFF system , six ready - to - fire BAMSE missiles , and weather sensors . The MCC can be deployed in 10 minutes and complete reload of a MCC takes less than 4 minutes . Missile . The missile used by the RBS 23 system is based on the RBS 70 , but unlike its predecessor ( which is laser beam rider ) it is a radar command control missile , which means that the missile itself and the target have to be tracked by the fire control radar until impact . A booster has been added also . The missile is claimed to have high acceleration and high manoeuvrability . It is equipped with a fragmentation and shaped charge warhead and with both a proximity fuse and an impact fuse . Deployment . The Swedish government ordered the RBS23 in 2000 and deliveries started in 2002 .

Iron Fist ( countermeasure ) Iron Fist is a hard - kill active protection system ( APS ) designed by Israel Military Industries ( IMI ) , with a modular design allowing adaptation to a range of platforms ranging from light utility vehicles to heavy armoured fighting vehicle s . The concept was revealed by IMI in 2006 and was expected to enter Israel Defense Forces tests by mid - 2007 . The system has already been successfully tested against a wide variety of threats including rocket - propelled grenade s , anti - tank guided missile s and tank - fired HEAT ammunition and kinetic energy penetrator s . It senses incoming threats via a fixed radar sensor developed by RADA Electronic Industries and an optional passive infrared detector developed by Elbit ' s Elisra . When a threat is imminent , an explosive projectile interceptor is launched towards it . The interceptor explodes very near the threat , destroying or deflecting and destabilizing it without detonating its warhead . For this , only the blast effect of the explosive is used . The interceptor casing is made of combustible materials so no fragmentation is formed in the explosion , helping minimize collateral damage . Acquisition of the Iron Fist active protection system was approved in June 2009 . The system will be installed on the Namer armoured personnel carrier . On November 2010 , The Israeli ministry of defense announced stop of funding of the system development . On May 2011 the system intercepted Kinetic energy penetrators and Metis anti tank missiles during a test in the U . S .

List of destroyer escorts of the United States Navy This is a list of destroyer escort s of the United States Navy , listed both by hull number and by name . It includes the hull classification symbol s DE ( both Destroyer Escort and Ocean Escort ) , DEG , and DER . The Lend - lease Act was passed into law in the USA in March 1941 enabling the United Kingdom to procure merchant ships , warships and munitions etc . from the USA , in order to help with the war effort . This enabled the UK to commission the USA to design , build and supply an escort vessel that was suitable for anti submarine warfare in deep open ocean situations , which they did in June 1941 . Captain E . L . Cochrane of the American Bureau of Shipping came up with a design which was known as the British Destroyer Escort ( BDE ) . The BDE designation was retained by the first six Destroyer Escorts transferred to the United Kingdom ( BDE 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 12 and 46 ) ; of the initial order of 50 these were the only ones the Royal Navy received , the rest being reclassified as Destroyer Escort ( DE ) on 25 January 1943 and taken over by the United States Navy . Ships that were classified DE or DEG were reclassified in 1975 as FF or FFG ( frigate s ) . This affected hull numbers DE - 1037 and higher as well as all DEGs .
