We often think about military tents and fabric based shelters as the gold standard. They were only a small portion of what was required to win! Locations in the Pacific like Tinian and other small islands used prefabricated Quonset Huts as a means to survive tropical storms and protect sensitive equipment and resources. Today the ADAMS gives you the best of both worlds. Speed, strength and versatility. https://lnkd.in/guJuNSuF

AIRPOWER INDEPENDENT OF RUNWAYS ... The key to supporting Taiwan Consider this Concept of Operations (CONOP) for the United States Air Force: - An aircraft generation squadron operating with the US Marine Corps stays mobile in the first island chain, going from hide site to hide site. China is unable to solve the "SCUD problem," and squadron personnel stay safe. - The squadron is sent a Low-Probability of Intercept (LPI) "execute message" from the joint command center, which includes preplanned parameters (number of aircraft, payload, rendezvous points, etc.). - The squadron executes a meticulously planned operation, moving to a pre-surveyed road on the island and initiating aircraft generation. This process involves unpacking the aircraft, assembling the wing structures, and inserting the mission modules and weapons. - The two launch teams move to their positions. The actual length between them is classified, but it is <<8000 feet. They put the first aircraft on the trolleys and prepare to launch. - Both teams employ the trolley technique to launch their aircraft. This method involves launching left to right, then right to left, and repeating as necessary to get the aircraft in the air. It's a coordinated dance of precision and timing, honed through multiple exercises. Spares are ready to fill in as needed. - The aircraft fly to their pre-planned execution points, updating their mission software en route. - The joint command center matches them with targets of opportunity. These aircraft execute as directed. - The aircraft that survive fly to prioritized recovery zones, cut their engines, deploy their parachutes, and float to the ground or water. - Recovery teams take these aircraft, do minor repairs as necessary, and then give them to the Marines logistics teams, who deliver them to the launch teams. - Repeat x10000 - With airpower support, the Taiwan Defense Forces repel the Chinese assault on their country (yes, I said country). The United States remains the preferred security partner in Asia, which has huge benefits for our economic health and well-being. THANK YOU to companies like Kratos Defense and Security Solutions, which invests its IRAD and allows us to realize innovative CONOPS like this one. We need innovative technologies like this trolley takeoff. Plus, it's just damn cool...#airpowernext https://lnkd.in/gxqx6VEb (Disclaimer: I advise Kratos. I couldn't be prouder of their willingness to invest on behalf of tomorrow's warfighters. Primes take notice. This is how we win.)

EricJ UH-60 A3 RC65 - Used the US Army Helipilot as the default crew for the US Army helicopters - Cleaned up the AH-96 Hit-Points LOD - Added a basic AH-6 and MH-6 (retextured AH/MH-9s) to expand the TF 160 lineup. I wish I had sykocrazy's models, but they'll do for now until something else comes along - Adjusted the default loadout for the AH-96 for a mission that I'm planning on releasing - Added a BLUFOR unit, TF562. It's the opposite of the Black Raven PMC and is not designed to be a comprehensive unit, since I only have one weapon in the pack. To save my sanity and file size, it uses vanilla weapons and gear. It can be found in BLUFOR/Task Force 562. I mainly created it as a real world look at the Armaverse, as well as for the Pilot missions that I've been modifying and uploading to the Workshop. https://lnkd.in/etvZjqyV

The nature of warfare has changed dramatically, yet the maritime domain remains critically important. In an increasingly asymmetric battlespace, traditional naval ships are too large, too expensive, and too time-consuming to build and replace. The answer is attritable, autonomous vessels, capable of carrying out the missions that will decide the next conflict. Saronic Technologies is redefining maritime superiority. We’re proud to share a glimpse into the “how” and “why” behind one of America’s emerging weapons - and, as of today's $175 million Series B announcement, 8VC’s newest defense unicorn.

3D imagery is an inportant facet of the #TechnicalTeam. Creating 3D models through #CAD and #CG packages is essential for creating content and technical drawings. Combining both to create these kind of animations is impressive, and I am proud see these features being developed within our team. #AADSJ8 CAD on SOLIDWORKS Renders on Blender Animations on Unreal Engine Aided with scans using Creaform

🌊The future of warfare is lurking beneath the waves. The Russo-Ukrainian conflict has showcased the power of drones in transforming battle strategies. Yet, as drones soar above, a quieter revolution is happening underwater. Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) are set to redefine naval warfare, just as drones have reshaped aerial combat. Imagine a fleet of autonomous submarines, operating for weeks, undetected, executing high-stakes missions without risking human lives. From laying mines to stealthily tracking enemy vessels, UUVs offer unparalleled capabilities. These aquatic robots are not just tools; they're strategic game-changers that challenge traditional naval power. Countries are racing to develop these silent warriors. The U.S. Navy's Orca and Russia's Poseidon are just the tip of the iceberg in this new era of military innovation. With AI-enhanced autonomy, they promise to mirror the surprise and efficiency of their airborne counterparts. #UUV #NavalWarfare #UnmannedVehicles #MilitaryInnovation #AI #TechTrends #DefenseTechnology #AutonomousSubmarines #UnderwaterDrones #NavalStrategy

#throwbackthursday to when intermittent / No Fault Found #nff was only responsible for $2 billion in non-value-added expenses to the United States Department of Defense. Today, intermittent / No Fault Found costs taxpayers an astounding $5.5 billion annually in non-value-added expenses and 383,000 days of end item sub-component non-availability. The only objectively proven solutions #IFDIS2 and #PIFD have been exhaustively studied by the Department for nearly two decades. In every instance where this technology has been implemented massive cost savings and increased operational readiness have been achieved.
