The laser guided training round(LGTR) is a lightweight ordnance similar to an AIM-9 air-to-air missile with an IR [infrared] seeker head and is used in place of the GBU [guided bomb unit] series weapons. It is an excellent training aid.  3, record 2, English, - laser%20guided%20training%20round

Sagaie is designed to be used in four distinct modes. In the first(confusion), a chaff rocket would be fired out to near its maximum range of about 5 km to create a false target for the target-designation radar of an attacking ship or aircraft.... The third mode(distraction) is intended to counter an attacking missile-four bursts containing both chaff and IR [infared] decoys are produced at close range round the ship.  1, record 3, English, - distraction%20mode

The computer method consists of applying the three full Navier-Stokes equations of fluid mechanics(...) over a pattern of points on a theoretical airframe before any hardware exists. Plotted over a sufficiently large number of points around an aerodynamic shape, these equations can predict lift, drag and heating. Some unsteady [air] flow patterns, such as the 3, 000 Hz shock wave buzz round the inlet spike of a missile at Mach 3, have been successfully plotted.  1, record 8, English, - inlet%20spike

La méthode sur ordinateur consiste à appliquer les trois équations complètes de Navier-Stokes sur la mécanique des fluides (...) à un certain nombre de points d'une cellule théorique. Si on les applique à un nombre suffisant de points d'une surface aérodynamique, elles permettent de connaître la portance, la traînée et l'échauffement cinétique. Cette méthode a permis de déterminer correctement certains types d'écoulements instables, tels que le "bourdonnement" de 3000 Hz dû aux ondes de choc, qui se produit à Mach 3 autour du cône d'entrée d'air d'un missile.  1, record 8, French, - c%C3%B4ne%20d%27entr%C3%A9e%20d%27air
