Record 4 2008-02-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Air Traffic Control
  • Air Defence
CONT

A new kind of L-band long-range surveillance radar family designed not only for air traffic control and air defense but also for shipboard air defense.... The radar's features include a high-gain, low-sidelobe, shaded beam antenna; a master oscillator power amplification transmitter with a combination of a solid state amplifier and wide-band klystron; and a wideband receiver with low noise and three channels. Quadraphase coded pulse compression techniques are employed. The digital target extractor can extract, process, and report the target data automatically.

Record 6 2003-07-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Simulation (Cybernetic Systems)
  • Military Training
CONT

MILES is a system the Army uses for wargames. You mount a small box, the transmitter, on the end of the barrel of your weapon, and wear a harness that has several straps on the front and back with infrared receptors on them. You also have a key that is normally in the transmitter to enable it. The transmitter has a microphone in it, and whenever a shot is fired, the sound causes it to fire a coded IR laser beam. The sensors on the harness are wired to a box on the back which detects when you have been hit. If you are, a beeper starts sounding loudly. To turn it off you have to take the key out of the transmitter, thus disabling it, and put it in a switch in the harness. Then you are "dead", and have to wait for an observer to come around with a special key that can reset the harness. They can also use the God gun, which is so called because it can fire pulses that will "kill" you like the other transmitters, but it can also fire pulses that reset your harness(bring you back to life...)

Record 7 2002-03-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The Global Transmission System(GTS) provides a capability for transmitting highly accurate time and data signals via the space Station external antenna to ground-based users. The data signals can be coded according to the specific user requirements and can include such information as the station orbital position.... The GTS uses a transmitter operating at two dedicated frequencies and mounted externally on the Russian Service Module. The GTS signals are available to ground receivers for periods of 5-12 min several times a day. Although GTS primarily provides a service to ground users, identical services are available to Russian-element users onboard the station.

OBS

global transmission system; GTS: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Domaine(s)
  • Stations orbitales

Subject field(s)
  • Titles of Monographs
OBS

Pamphlet published by National Search and Rescue Secretariat, 1995. A 406 MHz PLB is a battery-powered emergency transmitter which, when activated, sends a coded signal. A signal received by the COSPAS-SARSAT Satellite System from a PLB is considered to be an indication of serious distress and search and rescue authorities in Canada will react to the alert in the appropriate manner.

OBS

Publié par le Secrétariat national Recherche et sauvetage, 1995. La BLP de 406 MHz est un transmetteur d'urgence fonctionnant à piles. Dès qu'on l'active, la BLP émet un signal codé. Le système satellite COSPAS-SARSAT considère chaque signal reçu d'une BLP comme une indication sans équivoque de détresse. Au Canada, les autorités canadiennes de recherche et de sauvetage réagissent à cette alerte de la façon appropriée.
