London, UK (SPX) Jun 23, 2008Heathrow, the world's busiest international airport, has invested in a state of the art radar system to further improve safety by continuously sweeping its runways for foreign objects and debris (FOD). Supplied by QinetiQ, the Tarsier system is already being used to detect FOD on the southern runway at Heathrow following a successful operational trial. Two radars scan the 3,658 metre runwa ... more Russian Space Agency Backs US Asteroid Control Plan 
Moscow (RIA Novosti) Jun 20, 2008Russia's Federal Space Agency has endorsed a proposal by the U.S. House of Representatives that a Russian radar station be used to detect dangerous asteroids, Roscosmos head said on Thursday. "I generally approve and support the U.S. initiative," Anatoly Perminov said in a telephone interview with RIA Novosti. "As for the asteroid danger, it really exists, and needs to be dealt with ... more Outside View: BMD base woes -- Part 1

Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 03, 2008Researchers have used Earth-based radar to examine ejecta material from the massive impact that formed the moon's Orientale impact basin. Orientale basin is located at the very edge of the moon's visible face. Previously, this crater was difficult to study because it is only partially visible to telescopes on Earth. Newly developed techniques now have been used to make high-resolution radar obse ... more Keeping The Military Fully Networked And Online 
Bethpage NY (SPX) Jun 03, 2008Northrop Grumman has conducted a study for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio, which demonstrates airborne electronic jammer aircraft are more effective and efficient when networked and enhanced by decision aids. Airborne electronic attack, or "jamming," aircraft can blind, disrupt or otherwise affect enemy radars, communications, comput ... more Study finds best times for radio signals 
Leicester, England (UPI) May 21, 2008 British engineers say they've found a specific window exists when mobile radio signals are "super strength," allowing them to be clearer and travel farther. University of Leicester researchers studied the signal strength of radio waves traveling over the sea and identified late afternoons and early evenings in spring and summer as a time when enhanced signals occur. The research ... more The Radar SHARAD Completes The Mars Stratigraphy
