Field Guide: Southern Vehicles 2. Field Guide: Southern Vehicles 2 is a supplement published by Dream Pod 9 in 1996 for the science-fiction role-playing game Heavy Gear that focuses on mecha war machines and futuristic vehicles.

Contents
Field Guide: Southern Vehicles 2 is a supplement which details both previously published and new mecha designs (called Heavy Gears) and conventional vehicles used by the Southern faction, as well as technical specifications, specialized variants, full color counters for tabletop play, record sheets, and illustrations for the Heavy Gears and vehicles.

Publication history
Canadian publisher Dream Pod 9 published the mecha science fiction game Heavy Gear in 1994, and also released many expansions and supplements. This included four supplements describing mecha, vehicles and weapons in both the northern and southern regions. One of these, Field Guide: Southern Vehicles 2, released in 1996, was created by Jean Carrières.

Reception
In Issue 9 of the UK magazine Arcane, Jim Swallow noted, ""For the most part, the Field Guides are of the most use to wargamers using the Heavy Gear background, while roleplayers will likely see the mecha showcased here in the hands of NPCs and the enemy." Swallow concluded by giving the book a below-average rating of only 5 out of 10, saying, "Like most of the Heavy Gear material currently available, the books are produced with an eye to clarity and careful precision, and with a degree of modularity which means they don't have to be an essential purchase."

In the French magazine Casus Belli, Fabrice Colin commented, "Lovers of fine mechanics will take revenge with Southern Vehicles 2. It is a pure concentrate of war machines, perfectly faithful to the spirit of the game, in keeping with how we have perceived the game."

2218 aluminium alloy. 2218 aluminium alloy is an alloy in the wrought aluminium-copper family (2000 or 2xxx series). It is one of the most complex grades in the 2000 series, with at least 88.4% aluminium by weight. Unlike most other aluminium-copper alloys, 2218 is a high work-ability alloy, with relatively low for 2xxx series alloy yield strength of 255 MPa. Despite being highly alloyed, it have a good corrosion and oxidation resistance due sacrificial anode formed by magnesium inclusions, similar to marine-grade 5xxx series alloys. Although 2218 is wrought alloy, owing to granular structure it can be used in casting and been precisely machined after casting. It is easy to weld, coat, or glue.

Good workability, thermal conductivity and dimensional stability make 2218 alloy a material of choice whenever high-precision parts subject to thermal shocks (especially piston engine cylinders and cylinder heads) are needed.

2218 alloy can be heat treated to increase tensile strength in expense of workability, with most common grades been F, T61, T71 and T72.

Alternative names for 2218 alloy are A2218 and A92218.

Chemical Composition
The chemical composition of 2218 alloy is poorly standardized, with several variants in production. All variants include both copper (4%) and magnesium (1.5%) as major alloying elements. Common alloy variants also include 2% of nickel.
The alloy composition of 2218 aluminium is:

 Aluminium: 91.35 to 92.95%
 Copper: 3.5 to 4.5%
 Magnesium: 1.2 to 1.8%
 Nickel: 1.7 to 2.3%
 Iron: 1% max
 Silicon: 0.9% max
 Zinc: 0.25% max
 Manganese: 0.5% max
 Tin: 0.25% max
 Chromium: 0.1% max

PQDIF. Power Quality Data Interchange Format (PQDIF) is a binary file format specified in IEEE Std. 1159.3 that is used to exchange voltage, current, power, and energy measurements between software applications with a focus on the power quality domain.

PQDIF can be utilized by power quality meters, electric meters, desktop software applications, server software, and web servers. Users of PQDIF files include meter manufacturers, electric utility company engineers, and commercial/industrial consumers of electric power.

PQDIF is defined in a "recommended practice" standard maintained by the IEEE PQDIF Task Force, which is sponsored by the Transmission & Distribution Committee of the IEEE Power & Energy Society.

The file format is designed to represent all power quality phenomena identified in IEEE Std 1159, which is a recommended practice on monitoring electric power quality. PQDIF can be used to represent other power related measurement data and is extensible to other data types as well. The recommended file format includes optional compression using zlib to help reduce disk space and transmission times. The utilization of Globally Unique Identifiers (GUID) to represent each element in the file permits the format to be extensible without the need for a central registration authority.

PQDIF allows storage of the following types of measurements: waveforms, time series value logs (rms voltage, rms current, real/reactive/apparent power, total harmonic distortion, harmonics, flicker, etc.), phasors, frequency spectrums, lightning strikes, histograms, cross-tabulations, and magnitude-duration summary tables for voltage sags, voltage swells, interruptions, voltage spikes and other rapid voltage changes. PQDIF allows storage of information related to the sources that recorded the data, including name, description, location, transducer settings, trigger settings, and more.

A single PQDIF file is a collection of PQDIF records consisting of a Container record, Data Source record, an optional Monitor Settings record, and one or more Observation records. In contrast, a PQDIF stream is a collection of PQDIF records streamed to a client using communication media such as a network connection. A stream presents records such that they are downloaded in the same order as they would be if read from a PQDIF file.

The specification for PQDIF was first published in IEEE Std 1159.3-2003, which was reaffirmed in 2009. A second edition was approved and published by IEEE in 2019. The physical structure of PQDIF remains unchanged between IEEE Std 1159.3-2003 and IEEE Std 1159.3-2019, making PQDIF both backward and forwards compatible.

The 2019 edition of IEEE Std 1159.3 includes an annex explaining the relationship of the PQDIF file format with the IEEE COMTRADE file format. Another annex explains how to represent PQDIF files in XML files. The 2019 edition also explains the relationship between PQDIF and IEC 61850.

An open source software library maintained by IEEE Standards Association for reading and writing PQDIF files called PQDIFNet is maintained in IEEE SA OPEN.

Hongdu GJ-11. The Hongdu GJ-11 Sharp Sword () is an unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) developed in the People's Republic of China for the People's Liberation Army. It was designed by Shenyang Aircraft Design Institute (SYADI) and Hongdu Aviation Industry Group (HAIG) and is part of seven proposed models by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) program called "AVIC 601-S". The GJ-11 can perform precision strike and aerial reconnaissance missions.

Design
The GJ-11 is a tailless flying wing with two internal weapons bays. Stealth features include the shaping of the rear airframe around the engine exhaust and serrated weapon bay doors. The aircraft is powered by a single turbofan engine of unknown type, and the overall wingspan is 14 meters.

Development
Early versions were less stealthy with an exposed engine nozzle.

Images of the aircraft's 20 minute long maiden flight appeared on the internet on November 21st 2013, where the "Sharp Sword" took off from HAIG airfield.

In October 2021, AVIC showcased the GJ-11 at Airshow China. The drone is reportedly capable of taking off autonomously from Type 076 amphibious assault ships. The stealthy drone could deploy swarming air-launched decoys or electronic warfare systems, in addition to launching precision-guided munitions.

In October 2022, Chinese media showcased the computer-generated concepts of three GJ-11 being controlled by a two-seat variant of the Chengdu J-20 fighter jet, akin to the Loyal Wingman program of the United States.
