Moscow (UPI) Feb 6, 2007 Unlike the Russian radars deployed in Azerbaijan, Belarus and Kazakhstan, the Ukrainian systems are not manned by Russian officers. Both the qualifications of the radars' civilian Ukrainian personnel and the data they provide to Russia are questionable. The Sevastopol radar is the larger of the two problems because unlicensed radio stations of vessels fishing in the Black Sea use the same ... more Kiev Radar Row Set To Inflame Tensions Part One
Moscow (UPI) Feb 5, 2007 The Federation Council, the upper house of Russia's Parliament, has approved the Jan. 25, 2008, decision of the State Duma, the lower house of Parliament, to denounce the agreement with Ukraine on the use of its early warning radars. The bill will be forwarded to Russian President Vladimir Putin for approval. If Putin signs the relevant decree and the document is published in the offic ... more BAE To Radar USAF Warning Receivers For C-130J Transports 
Greenlawn NY (SPX) Feb 06, 2008BAE Systems has been awarded a $28.1 million U.S. Air Force contract to provide radar warning receiver systems for new-production C-130J transport aircraft. BAE Systems' AN/ALR-56M radar warning receiver detects a broad range of incoming radar signals and identifies and characterizes their origin as friend or foe, alerting the pilot when it detects threats to the aircraft. Under the contra ... more Ukraine to offer Europe former Soviet anti-missile radars 
Kiev (AFP) Feb 1, 2008Ukraine is offering western Europe access to its radars, previously a part of the former Soviet missile defence system, the Ukrainian space agency said Friday.

Washington (UPI) Jan 25, 2007 Researchers say the military may employ small robots equipped with advanced three-dimensional vision technology in as little as a year. The U.S. military plans to use three-dimensional flash laser radar-, or ladar-, equipped robots to explore chemically contaminated areas and researchers see the technology reaching the consumer markets shortly thereafter, the Christian Science Monitor r ... more Volcanic deposits may aid lunar outposts 
Washington (UPI) Jan 23, 2007 A U.S. study of radar images of the moon suggests deposits from early lunar volcanoes might be useful to astronauts at lunar stations. Bruce Campbell and associates at the National Air and Space Museum said ancient volcanic eruptions on the Moon produced deposits of fine-grained, often glass-rich, pyroclastic material. In some places, such as at the Aristarchus Plateau, the deposits can ... more Raytheon To Provide Revolutionary AESA Capabilities To 135 F/A-18s 
El Segundo CA (SPX) Jan 24, 2008The U.S. Navy is retrofitting 135 Super Hornets with Raytheon's APG-79 active electronically scanned array radar. An initial contract worth nearly $55 million authorizes Raytheon to supply 19 AESA systems, spares and maintenance. This ensures Super Hornets manufactured before installation of the APG-79 will benefit from Raytheon's new advanced sensor technology. The APG-79 program is movi ... more US firm delivers missiles to Czech army: defence ministry
