009848-Project CHECO Southeast Asia Report-USAF Tactics Against Air & Ground Defenses in SEA, November 1968-May 1970 94 Pages1970 THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT Tactics against air and ground defenses pose a dilemma. Any effort to avoid or suppress defenses invariably detracts from effectiveness of the primary mission. In dive bombing, the higher a pilot must pull out to avoid ground fire, the lower his accuracy. Sorties fragged for combat air patrol or gun suppression are unavailable for striking interdiction targets. Carrying electronic countermeasures (ECM) gear to permit an aircraft to survive in an area defended by surface-to-air missiles or radar-controlled antiaircraft artillery eliminates two pylons of ordnance. Guilio Douhet, fifty years ago, argued that offensive potential of aircraft was so great and their defensive potential so small, designers, commanders, and aircrews should give their entire attention to the offensive, accepting whatever losses the defense might inflict. This unrealistic reasoning proved costly to the United States Army Air Corps in World War II. Nearly all commanders and aircrews today accept a more realistic view, knowing that defenses reaching a certain level must be countered. Effective tactics must be carefully tailored to take advantage of the strengths of the particular weapon system and to protect against the particular threat anticipated. The USAF weapons systems employed in Southeast Asia were numerous and varied: the threat was ever changing. Defensive tactics impinged upon nearly every aspect of aerial operations from the choice of routing, accepting the risk of mid-air collision while operating without lights, to making an airfield traffic pattern in guerilla-infested areas.

NASA: Nasa Engineering Design Challenges: Environmental Control and Life Support Systems Water Filtration Challenge (Grades 5-8) NASA 2000 ISBN: B002YASJY8
B002YASJY8 Very Good

Unknown date of publication, circa 2000's. Earth provides the air we breathe, the water we drink, and other conditions that support life. Earth is a natural life support system. On the International Space Station, the Environmental Control and Life Support System provides these needs. The functions of an ECLSS include atmosphere revitalization; atmosphere control and supply; temperature and humidity control; water recovery and management; waste management; and fire detection and suppression. The activities in this guide focus on water recovery and management. The challenge is to design and build a water filtration device using commonly available materials. To meet this challenge, students build, test and measure the performance of the filtration device, analyze the data collected, and use this information to work towards an improved filtration design Paperback
