Our strike aircraft must be able to survive enemy air defenses and destroy targets at a fast rate. b. Major Program Highlights (1) Low Altitude Airfield Attack System (LAAAS) We have initiated a joint US /UK engineering development for the JP-233 LAAAS. The system is designed for delivery by the UK Tornado and the US F-111E. Full-scale development started in November 1977. Detailed specifications have...
Stranica 103 - Mk-500 on the TRIDENT I missile necessary. C. DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS The basic elements of strategic defense consist of the surveillance and warning systems to detect and characterize hostile actions by strategic aircraft, missiles, or spacecraft, and the defensive weapons to counter these forces. Since the burden for deterrence is placed on our strategic offensive forces, only limited resources are being applied to developing defensive weapon systems. Nevertheless, we maintain a meaningful level of activity...
Stranica 147 - C-141 Stretch Modification The objective of this program is to increase this aircraft's ability to move oversize cargo by up to 30 percent and to decrease reliance on foreign bases. This is being accomplished by lengthening the C-141 fuselage by 23.3 feet and by installing an aerial refueling system. These capability increases are accomplished with no increase in peacetime operating costs. The first modified C-141 will be delivered to the Air Force in early FY 1980. By the end of FY 1980, 50 modified...
Stranica 437 - ... public shipyards at this time. The recommendation as made resulted from determinations that the private shipyards had the capacity to accommodate current projected Navy and commercial shipwork.
