Record 3 2001-06-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Operations (Air Forces)
CONT

BAE Systems has delivered the first production Directional Infra Red Countermeasures(DIRCM) anti-missile protection turret. The system is being fitted to transport aircraft and helicopters in service with American and British armed forces and will protect the aircraft from infra red heat-seeking missiles by jamming the seeker... DIRCM is a revolutionary protection system, which is designed to detect the launch of a heat-seeking missile, determine if it is a threat and track its flight, before defeating its seeker head with an emission of infra red energy. The missile loses its lock on the target and very quickly veers off its course and is destroyed.

CONT

Essayé sur AH-64A. Si le Guitar-350 affiche de hautes performances, c'est qu'il a été conçu dès le départ dans l'optique de le compléter d'une tourelle de type DIRCM. L'élément actif de cette tourelle stabilisée est une lampe à arc dont les séquences de fonctionnement sont pilotées par un calculateur de technique de brouillage dans le but de saturer les autodirecteurs des missiles attaquants et de les dévier de leur trajectoire.[...] le meilleur emplacement de cette tourelle se situait au sommet de l'hélicoptère, juste derrière le rotor principal, pour avoir le minimum d'angles morts vis-à-vis de missiles qui attaquent en principe par l'arrière.

Record 4 1994-04-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
DEF

[a hold used] for balance, to help raise yourself by pulling up on the hold, or to provide various forms of counterpressure.

CONT

Handholds offer maximum security when all fingers are used.

CONT

Handholds vary considerably. The easiest to use are those incut ones that the fingers can curl round and afford a pull; these are often called "jugs" if they are large. Pressure holds are holds where there is no grip as such and one relies on the friction of the rock. They may be sideways. There is also the "pinch grip", where the rock can be squeezed between fingers. A jammed hold(jamming) is when the hand is jammed into a crack for a pull. An undercut hold is one that is upside down, but it can be useful.

OBS

In winter climbing, hand or foot holds may be cut in snow or ice by an axe.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de montagne
CONT

La bonne utilisation des prises de mains dépend plus de l'habileté manuelle et de la force des doigts que de techniques précises.

OBS

Sur le glacier l'alpiniste crée ses prises de main et de pied en taillant la glace au piolet (manches).

OBS

Le pluriel du terme varie selon les sources consultées. Il apparaît parfois comme «prises de mains» et d'autres fois comme «prises de main».
