According to US Central Command it was returning to its undisclosed operating base when the accident occurred. Central Command said the crash was '...not the result of enemy fire and the aircraft will be recovered.' The Global Hawk is an unmanned reconnaissance and surveillance system designed to provide military commanders with high resolution, near real-time imagery of large geographic areas. Still in its development phase, it has been pressed into service because of its long endurance over a target. The aircraft was one of two in the theatre. REF XQQAS XQQMA XQQAR XQQIE DSD

2002-01-03, Serge Pod: France orders 20 more Rafale fighters 2 January 2002 The French Ministry of Defence has ordered 20 more Rafale fighters from French aircraft manufacturer Dassault. The French Air Force will receive twelve and the French Navy eight. This order supplements the contract placed in 1999 and brings to 61 the number of Rafale ordered by France (36 for the Air Force, 25 for the Navy). Of these 61 aircraft, 10 were delivered in 2001 and 13 more will be delivered in 2002. The first naval squadron was formed in May last year and two Rafale are currently embarked on the Charles-de-Gaulle aircraft carrier. The two-seater version, ordered at the end of 2001, will be delivered from 2008. The first Air Force squadron will be formed in 2006. In addition, the Ministry for Defense is developing the general-purpose standard F2 air-to-air and air-to-ground missile that will equip the Rafale and has begun the definition phase for the future F3 missile.

Subject to the successful conclusion of contract negotiations 24 supersonic aircraft, the first squadron of which is expected to enter service in 2005, will update the Czech national defence capability and fulfil its required NATO commitments for the next 30 to 40 years. "We recognise a period of negotiations on complex issues lies ahead, but believe that this will lead to a successful solution for all concerned, "said Julian Scopes, regional managing director Europe with Gripen partner BAE Systems. "Gripen will give the Czech Air Force an outstanding multi-role defense capability, including air superiority within NATO and provide…

The missile was launched from a US Air Force B-52 bomber and flew a pre-planned flight path to its target -- a hardened, buried target complex, which the warhead penetrated prior to detonation. Boeing is under contract to convert Air Launched Cruise Missiles (ALCM) to a CALCM variant designated as AGM-86D. "The AGM-86D will be able to destroy buried or reinforced targets from standoff ranges of hundreds of miles," said Carl Avila, Boeing ALCM/CALCM programme manager. "While the penetrating warhead provides the warfighter with a critical new tool, the key enabling technology is the precision accuracy upgrade -- first fielded in the Block 1A configuration -- that puts the CALCM within meters of the target." The AGM-86D…

The test used an F/A-18F Super Hornet to carry three ALQ-99 jamming pods and two fuel tanks while measuring noise and vibration data and assessing aircraft flying qualities. The EA-18 is one of the platforms under consideration in a US Department of Defense analysis of alternatives to replace the EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft. The US Navy has an operational need to start replacing the Prowler by 2008. "The EA-18 will perform full-spectrum electronic surveillance and electronic attack of enemy threat radars and communications nets," said Paul Summers, director for Boeing's F/A-18 derivative programmes. "The EA-18 leverages the US Navy's investment in the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet platform and Northrop Grumman's Improved…

The T-50 is a major stepping stone in South Korea's development as an aircraft manufacturing country and is aimed at capturing a third of the world's supersonic trainer market over the next thirty years. ''The T-50 is the first supersonic jet aircraft developed by our rapidly growing aerospace industry,'' said President Kim, Dae-jung who served as the principal speaker at the unveiling ceremony. ''This aircraft is expected to not only serve the advanced training needs of the Korean Air Force, but also a number of other major air forces around the world. We fully expect to be an exporter of advanced aerospace products.'' KAI is the prime contractor for the…

Research and development of the weapons, which is based on the assumption that it is possible to disable not only guidance systems of high precision weapons, but also their electric circuits by generating certain levels of electromagnetic radiation began in the late 1990s. The State arms exporter Rosoboronexport, then called Rosvooruzheniye, initiated the export-oriented research. The co-operation between the state arms exporter and military researchers resulted in the preparation of two commercially oriented projects, Ranets-E and Rosa-E, which can be offered to potential clients. The Ranets-E project involves the creation of a mobile radio frequency defense system against high…

The bright area at the top left edge is a young star April 24, 2001 Web posted at: 9:04 AM EDT (1304 GMT) (CNN) -- The Hubble Space Telescope is having a birthday, but astronomy buffs are getting the gift. To commemorate the telescope's 11th year in the sky since its launch in 1990, the Hubble was aimed at the Horsehead nebula. The nebula, a popular target for amateur astronomers, was selected by Internet voters last year as an astronomical target for the Hubble. Also known as Barnard 33, the nebula comes by its nickname honestly. Its unusual shape, resembling the head of a horse, was first discovered on a photographic plate in the late 1800s.

2001-04-07, Dron: ~~~ By Richard Stenger CNN (CNN) -- Beginning a new chapter in Mars exploration, NASA on Saturday launched a powerful new orbiter to scour the Red Planet for evidence of underground water and geologic hot spots. The $300 million Mars Odyssey should become the first spacecraft to visit Mars since two disastrous failures in 1999. Mars Odyssey will search for water, map surface minerals and measure radiation levels -- observations that could provide clues about possible extraterrestrial life. < !-- ======= WRAPPER ======= --> < !-- ======= /WRAPPER ======= --> "Life on Earth was not a cosmic fluke but part of a broad imperative," Ed Weiler, NASA deputy administrator, told reporters Friday. "Mars is a lot like Earth. And billions of years ago it had some kind of atmosphere and huge quantities of flowing water."

2001-03-29, Dron: ~~~ PALMDALE, Calif., March 26, 2001 — Extensive ground environment tests conducted on the Boeing Joint Strike Fighter X-32B demonstrator last week confirmed the aircraft's short-takeoff-and-vertical-landi ng (STOVL) system operates at acoustic and temperature levels lower than predicted at full power. Mike Heinz, Boeing vice president and JSF deputy program manager, said the test data prove the Boeing STOVL ground environment is well within operational limits. "The testing verifies we meet all requirements and provide a safe operating environment for the customer," Heinz said. "We confirmed that with the X-32B at 100 percent STOVL thrust, the ground environment is at or below heat- and noise-level requirements." Ground environment tests are essential to ensure the aircraft can maintain continuous operations on takeoff and landing surfaces, and to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel working on and around the aircraft. According to Heinz, lower acoustic and vibration levels inside the aircraft provide…
