An example of the advanced technology employed in the Lance weapon system is its unique AN/GJM-24(XO-2) monitor/programmer, or MP. All the functions necessary to fire the missile are performed by the MP, which measures only 42X51X43 cm. This solid-state, combined analog and digital computer supplies pre-launch power to Lance from a 19-cell, 24v dc(direct current) Ni-Cad(Nickel-Cadmium) battery, it inserts range information into the missile guidance set before launch, controls the missile's safe, arming and firing mechanisms, and monitors the firing sequence.  1, record 2, English, - monitor%2Fprogrammer

The tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided(TOW) missile system is the primary long range anti-tank weapon for the army. Although normally vehicle mounted it can be carried short distances by the weapon crew. When mounted in a vehicle, the system consists of the launcher, sight unit, missile guidance set and the TOW encased missiles. The addition of the tripod and traverse and elevation units allows the system to be removed from the vehicle and operated from a remote location by the weapon crew. The TOW has a thermal image capability that allows the gunner to see through total darkness, rain, fog and smoke.  1, record 3, English, - tube%2Dlaunched%2C%20optically%2Dtracked%2C%20wire%2Dguided

The format of what would become the Shearwater International Air Show or SIAS began to crystallize in 1981. Obviously, it could not compete with bigger shows playing to larger population centres. So, if the biggest was not possible, SIAS aimed to be the best. The show's search for excellence was rewarded by many successes; air displays equaling any in the country and over 75 different static aircraft from as many as seven countries. In addition, over 80 high-quality ground exhibits were displayed, including such as an Iraqi Scud missile and the weapon which brought it down, the US Army's Patriot System. Efforts to raise the Nova Scotia International Air Show(NSIAS) from the ashes were unsuccessful in 1996, but a few dedicated believers took on the task to try again for 1997 and were more than rewarded for their efforts. NSIAS 97 was a co-production of the three levels of government, the private sector and the military in the Atlantic Region. A lot of hard work, negotiations and good will produced a first class show that had all the trade marks of past SIAS events and then some. With a superb two-day attendance and an overall economic impact exceeding 14 million dollars, Shearwater and Nova Scotia were clearly on the air show map.  1, record 4, English, - Nova%20Scotia%20International%20Air%20Show

The intercontinental ballistic missiles(ICBM) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles(SLBM) developed over the past 50 years have employed successive generations of increasingly accurate inertial guidance systems. The comparatively short time of guided flight and high acceleration levels characteristic of the ballistic missile application place a premium on accelerometer performance to achieve desired weapon system accuracy. To date, the accelerometer design of choice for strategic missiles has been the Pendulous Integrating Gyroscopic Accelerometer(PIGA) instrument, an accelerometer whose origins trace back to the German V2 rocket, and has been refined through several generations of development to achieve unsurpassed performance.  4, record 10, English, - pendulous%20integrating%20gyroscopic%20accelerometer
