The development of geosynchronous satellite based briefcase terminal development has been over initiating very encouraging response from our defence and para military forces in late decade, i.e., precisely from 1997 onwards till 2010. Since inception, the demand has been to increase the capacity, not only tremendously, but also to look into increasing the operational zones beyond our borders even- which was not possible in the conventional way. Further considering the indigenous expertise, the author has felt the limitations of using geosynchronous satellites for such communications exclusively for defence forces as there are tremendous demand for geosynchronous satellites for many other vital areas of civil needs, particularly for disaster management, agricultural applications and internet for transportation applications. Additionally, geosynchronous satellites being primarily deployed in equatorial orbits, limits quantitative availability, exclusively for India. Keeping this in view, the proposal was initiated to write a monograph on the issues of the problems in development of a communication system based on LEO satellites. LEO satellites are planned for defence forces, but for other applications. However additional minor modifications for communications can easily be incorporated. The launching of such satellites is available and considering the low orbits, these do not come under regulations of international bodies like the geosynchronous ones. The major advantage is its security against intentional jamming by adversaries and easy up gradations with lower costs. The issues for practical aspects are not available in published literature. In case such a project is taken up, this monograph will provide the background to all to initiate the developmental effort. Thus it is only the initial attempt to begin the process. The implementation of the system is definitely realisable indigeneously, though quite complicated. Towards this objective, this monograph had been an attempt discussing sequentially in a story telling way. It explains some of the important aspects of the development issues.

This book is about the blackflies which are well known for their biting nuisance and disease transmission and considered second as the most harmful group of insects after the mosquitoes in affecting the human health. Information about blackfly in India is scanty despite of their medical and veterinary importance. This monograph provides summarised and update information on biology, diagnosis, pest status and management of the Indian blackflies. The emphasis has been made on blackflies of northeast India where they are threatening the public and animal health and have negative impact. The introductory chapters deal with the importance of the blackflies in India as human and domestic animals pests and listed man biting species for the first time. Three species namely, S. himalayense, S. indicum and S. nodosum are reported as highly anthropophilic. The subsequent chapters with illustrations deals with biology, collection of blackflies and their preparation, preservation and rearing for species diagnosis by using morphological, cytotaxonomical and molecular characters. The use of DNA taxonomy along with morphology and ecology is emphasised for identification of cryptic or sibling species within the species-complexes especially in species-complexes of medical problem. Identification keys for 73 Indian species are given for the first time. The book ends with a chapter on the lesson learnt, practical tips and future research for study of blackflies in the country. This book is a step-by-step guide for the blackfly study in this region.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book is borne out of the experiential learning of its two authors during their long careers in public service. While the objective is to address the compelling need for cyber security awareness in the age of information systems, the focus is on both theory and practice. In an evolving domain such as the cyber security, an understanding of its fundamentals is vital. Keeping this in view, the book starts with the basic concepts behind the development and operation of information systems. As is necessary for a book on security, it highlights threats to information systems next. Guidelines for formulation of cyber security policies and the means for their implementation and operation constitute the middle core of the book. Incorporating cyber security during the many stages of a system development cycle is given due coverage next, followed by a discussion on applicable standards. The penultimate chapter gives an overview of the emerging domain of quantum information technology and its impact on cyber security. The treatment of the subject is at a level accessible to the middle-level managers in public and private organisations. At the same time, experts in the domain too would find something to reflect upon and to evolve new solutions to the persisting problems of cyber security.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Destructive Evaluation (NDE) is an indispensable tool in quality assurance programme of any Engineering product and Rockets and Missiles are no exception. Due to their unique nature of functioning more stringent NDE methods are applied at every stage of their manufacture. Owing to their strategic importance, unlike in other industries, no published standards or codes are available especially in NDE area of Solid Rocket/Missile motors. Thus, it has been always a bottle-neck and an intriguing issue in the production plants of Rocket/Missile motors, to inspect and assess their quality for end use. With an idea to provide an insight into the NDE aspects of SRMs, the authors with their rich experience behind, have undertaken the task of preparing this monograph. To the extent possible, the chapters are written in a structured manner as introductory general topics to SRM-specific sub-topics. While conventional NDE methods are covered in detail, advanced and state-of-the-art techniques are dealt-with illustrations. Emphasis is given to practical aspects of NDE for the benefit of shop-floor engineers/scientists. The authors believe that, in a way, the monograph would serve as a practical book to the NDT practitioners, especially to the newly inducted personnel who are entrusted with the task of NDE of solid Rocket/Missile motors.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. By virtue of several decades of fundamental and applied research carried out on a variety of wrought aluminium alloys, the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL), Hyderabad has developed a comprehensive understanding of the microstructure-property relationships in these alloys. This Monograph discusses first the fundamental basis of aluminium alloy design with emphasis on the role of major and minor alloying elements, the influence of impurities, and the effects of variations in thermo-mechanical processes and heat treatment tempers on the development of microstructure and desired engineering properties in such alloys. The Monograph describes next the efforts and achievements made by DMRL on the technology development and the industrial scale production of lithium-free speciality wrought aluminium alloys using the existing infrastructure in the country for crucial defence applications. Such applications include areas of armament, ammunition, missile, naval vessel, infantry combat vehicle, indigenously built fighter aircraft, military bridge, etc. During the course of the indigenisation programs, the crucial metallurgical solutions to the production-related issues were provided by DMRL. It follows that the lack of technological knowhow and not necessarily the lack of infrastructure had earlier prevented the production of these alloys in the country. To realise self-reliance, the basic requirement is to have appropriate infrastructure in the industries. The last chapter of this Monograph catalogues the major investments made by private and government agencies during the last two decades and outlines areas of opportunity to improve and create optimal infrastructure to provide a complete solution to the manufacture of speciality wrought aluminium alloys in required semi-product forms.
