User Submit: This Navy tech is not shy (25 photos)

Posted: 09 Sep 2015 01:55 PM PDT

I'm a navy veteran and was stationed at Naval Air Station Pensacola Florida. I served as an Information system technician which basically means I worked on computers and sent messages, I know, very geeky. I did my time in the military and now I'm studying to be a nurse and will graduate spring of next year. I am a black belt in tae kwon do and teach while I am in school.

What is the Rafael “Trophy”/ KAZ “Iron Fist” system? (88 Photos)

Posted: 09 Sep 2015 11:19 AM PDT

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is exploring fitting the Trophy Active Protection System (APS) on tactical ground vehicles, something the U.S. Army might desire for future tactical vehicles. Trophy (also known as ASPRO-A, Israel Defense Forces "Windbreaker") is a military active protection system (APS) for vehicles. It intercepts and destroys incoming missiles and rockets with a shotgun-like blast. Trophy is the product of a ten-year collaborative development project between the Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aircraft Industries' Elta Group. Its principal purpose is to supplement the armour of light and heavy armored fighting vehicles. As of 2012 the system was being integrated onto Israeli Merkava-4 MBT's. The design includes the Elta EL/M-2133 F/G band fire-control radar with four flat-panel antennas mounted on the vehicle, with a 360-degree field of view. When a projectile is detected, the internal computer calculates an approach vector almost instantly, before it arrives. Once the incoming weapon is fully classified, the computers calculate the optimal time and angle to fire the neutralizers. The response comes from two rotating launchers installed on the sides of the vehicle which fire neutralizing agents, usually small metal pellets like buckshot. The system is designed to have a very small kill zone, so as not to endanger personnel adjacent to the protected vehicle. The system is designed to work against all types of anti-tank missiles and rockets, including handheld weapons such as rocket propelled grenades. The system can simultaneously engage several threats arriving from different directions, is effective on stationary or moving platforms, and is effective against both short- and long-range threats. Newer versions of the system include a reloading feature for multiple firings. The Trophy development plan includes an enhanced countermeasures unit to be available in the future for protection against kinetic energy penetrates. The Trophy "Heavy" system costs around $300,000 (U.S. dollars) to mount on a Merkava Mk. IVM. Source 1 Source 2

US vets volunteer to fight ISIS in Syria (7 photos, video, and story)

Posted: 08 Sep 2015 04:59 PM PDT

(Bruce Windorski (left) and Jamie Lane (right) with other civilian fighters) Bruce Windorski could hear Islamic State fighters taunting him as he peered down the moonlit Syrian village street early this year. Their voices were getting louder, and their aim seemed to be getting better. The 40-year-old former Army Ranger from Wisconsin reached into his bag of semi-reliable grenades, chose one, pulled the pin and tossed it over the wall. There was a blast, he says, and the jeers came to an abrupt halt.
