Combat Search And Rescue (CSAR) operations requiring forces ranging from a single aircraft to complex task forces at distances beyond areas controlled by friendly nations is critical for morale, protection of assets, security and continued domestic support for combat. The success of the mission often depends on real-time intelligence, well-trained crews, advanced technologies and creativity and improvisation capabilities of the commanders.

The function and principles of combat search and rescue (CSAR) mission, by locating the personnel and recovering them under virtually all geographic and climatic conditions is presented. It is concluded that advanced technologies, well-trained crews, real-time intelligence along with creativity and improvisation capabilities by the commanders are very much essential for the successful execution of the CSAR mission.

The article focuses on proliferation of unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) adoption by military forces. Topics discussed include incorporation of an artificial intelligence (AI) along with nano-avionic techniques; consideration of fully autonomous robotic machines usage in military tasks for precision strike roles; and initiation of an experimentation related to utilization of the EYERISS chip as digital memory networks.

The article focuses on the trend of radar technology for year 2020. Topics discussed advanced concepts of radar technology including intelligent signal coding is designed to separate codes of each transmitted signal used for military applications, the Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology is designed to improve fundamental capabilities such as data rate, and signal characteristics, and the digital beamforming (DBF).

The article reports on missile guidance technology developed as of 2016. Topics discussed include the major components of missile control, the types of missile guidance and how they work and the difference between passive and active homing guidance. Also discussed are the focus areas of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) Missile Advanced Technology Innovation (MATI) program.

A look into UGV technology and what is currently available to meet a growing and varied list of requirements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article offers information on role of technological innovations in ensuring improved performance and operational capabilities in combat helicopters. It mentions several upgradations and improvements in machine capabilities including reduced acoustic and radar signature, accurate navigation systems and advanced data acquisition and protection systems. It also discusses the mechanism of attenuation of acoustic, optical and radar tracks in modem helicopters.

In this article, the author discusses electronic warfare (EW) for rotary wing platforms. He talks about the importance of helicopters in a battlefield. According to him, helicopters can not survive in battlefield without adequate self protection systems. Also discussed is the modern self protection suite which includes radar warning receiver, laser warning receiver, and missile warning receiver.

The article offers information related to advances in satellite communications (SATCOM). Topics include objectives of SATCOM studies such as wideband space-to-space and space-to-high altitude airborne communications, provision of more bandwidth, and network architecture, the benefits of using laser technology in the sector such as development of more efficient devices and systems, and the benefits of Ka-band on military forces for communications.

The article reports on the recent development in the airborne sensors of military. Topics discussed include why airborne sensors are fundamental for modern aircraft; their evolution from the technological and operational point of view; and how the increasing level of miniaturisation and the reduction of costs for high performance computers have translated into a large number of smarter and more capable sensors.

El artículo presenta un análisis sobre los factores más importantes que influyen en la creación y desarrollo de los aviones de combate. A pesar de los avances tecnológicos de los últimos tiempos, es necesario ante todo, un análisis pormenorizado de las amenazas a las cuales deberá enfrentarse el equipo durante el combate y misiones militares.

The article provides information on Combat Search And Rescue (CSAR), which is about rescuing downed air crews and other selected military personnel from hostile territory. It involves all aspects of basic SAR missions, but with the exceedingly important difference that they must be planned and implemented while taking in consideration the possibility of an hostile reaction. The main rationale for CSAR operations to the benefit of specialised personnel is that pilots, SOF operators and the like are very expensive to train. It is becoming increasingly important in robust Peace Support Operations and expeditionary missions. INSETS: The EH-101 CSAR As an Example.;Radios and Locators..

The article focuses on the complexity in operations which makes the airborne electronic warfare (EW) and self-protection systems necessary. Topics discussed include disruption of electronic systems and radars through EW; EW systems providing electronic situation awareness (SA); the defense electronic systems provider Aselsan AS offering EW system; and invention of nanotechnologies enabling prototypes creation.

The article discusses the use of Space-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems for surveillance, reconnaissance and target acquisition in U.S. military missions as of 2018. Topics covered include its capabilities for 24/7 and all-weather operations, detection of concealed targets, and multi-functional sensing, and its effectivity based on the orbiting satellite's location and the system's technological features. Also noted is the complex conversion of SAR data into usable information.

The article offers information on the use of space-based intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) in military surveillance. Topics discussed include the image intelligence (IMINT) and signals intelligence (SIGINT), the use of these methods by navies, and the requirements for naval space-based intelligence including radar imagery, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), and advanced micro and nano satellites.

The article focuses on the importance of smart materials in the aerospace military industry. Topics discussed include morphing materials resuming their original shape; self-healing materials repairs damages caused by external stimuli and mechanical stress; and advantages of the smart materials in the aerospace and defense industry.

The article offers information related to the history and future aspects of electronic warfare (EW) systems. It discusses the characteristics of EW systems currently under development. It mentions that the modern EW systems are user programmable with modular and flexible architecture. It further discusses the versatility of the systems.

The author shares his opinion on of benefits virtual reality (VR) techniques through which a user can interact with the environment for realistic simulation. Topics include applications of VR techniques in infantry units, tank crews, and commanders of ships and submarines, advantages of simulators including training of pilots during safety conditions, guidance in designing of aircraft and weapon systems and identification of defects, need for simulators such as use of several computers.
