While looking for HIMARS prototype pictures such as this one
I was puzzled to find this :
Was it a competitor?
By the way, was LM MFC the only company initially contracted to develop a prototype?
Not sure where to put this one.
Caught an old 70s episode of Dr Who on the HORROR channel last night (SEA DEVILS I think). The HMS RECLAIM was featured using a diving cannister to deliver the Dr to his fate.
I remember the RN managed to get a replacement called CHALLENGER in the 80s. But it...
"Adm. Greenert has been in a cruiser tug-of-war with House Seapower chairman Randy Forbes for years. The Navy has 22 aging Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers, whose Aegis radar and targeting system is more powerful than the version on the newer but smaller Arleigh Burke destroyers."...
Mostly about the history and future of the U-2 and RQ-4, but this article ends with this rather odd statement.
Anyone have an idea what the author is on about here, or is this unsubstantiated speculation...

High-resolution interactive megapixel satellite imaging of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and the adjacent reclamation center ('boneyard').
+/- for zoom, arrow keys for navigation, etc. See if you can spot the Lockheed D-21 drones, F-105 Wild Weasel and other Cold War goodies.

Could some-one in the know explain what the research ships Akademik Ioffee and Akademik Vavilov were built to do?
I've just been on the Ioffe and there is some interesting kit still onboard. The standard answer was that they were built in 1989 for sound propagation trials, Ioffe the transmitter...

I'm planning to share information on a bunch of unknown SDV/midget submarine/DPV/Canoes etc via my blog (http://www.hisutton.com/) and thought i should also post here for the community. Rather than start fresh threads each time I'll just update this one. And I hope it can also be a general...

Part and parcel of our then nuclear weapons program, many items of which were dual use and dependent on each other. Starting with GreenSat (a spy satellite now thinly veiled as an earth observation satellite), there is no point in having nuclear tipped MRBM/ICBM's without the necessary...

This topic deserves it's own thread - starting off with my favorite S.A. artillery prototype, the LEO or G7, it was part of the 'Losvoor" (far ahead) artillery program. The aim was to achieve all that could be done by 155mm artillery (range, lethality) within a 105mm artillery piece while still...
Hi,
the Kazan Ansat 3 is a medium transport helicopter project,powered by two
turboshaft engines mounted above the cabin.

I decided that this topic needs it's own thread - there is more than enough out there to justify it.
Starting with one that had so much potential and promise - the Neostead tactical shotgun, combining a full length barrel of 570mm within a very short 690mm length bull-pup design, it was far...
Near Beaconsfield is a picturesque model village called Bekonscot.
It contains amongst other things a model airport. In the 50s and the 60s it was called Northrow and tried to reflect the excitement of the world outside.
Significantly in 1992 it was decided to change the airport to Hanton and...
