OBS

The SLUFAE(Surface-Launched Unit, Fuel-Air Explosive) system is a self-propelled MLRS [multiple-launch rocket system] designed primarily for standoff demolition of minefields. The project was initiated in the mid-1970s by the US Army and Navy. The primary customer was to be the US Marine Corps. It was extensively tested in 1976 through 1978. Though its results were deemed satisfactory, it was never accepted into service, and the CATFAE(CATapult-Launched Fuel-Air Explosive) eventually took its place in development.

During World War II, an escort vessel in the British and Canadian Navies ... of a size between a corvette and a destroyer.

OBS

[In modern times, a] medium-sized warship, of moderate or high speed, with primary mission of escort and independent deployment.

OBS

WWII definition confirmed in CFP 152, the Canadian Forces Seamanship Manual. Corresponded to US Navy "destroyer escort" of the day. After WWII, Can. Navy adopted the term destroyer escort for newly-constructed vessels. Nowadays, the Canadian, U. S. and British navies all use the term frigate to mean a warship slightly smaller than and generally not as powerfully armed as a destroyer(although there is some overlap). With the possible exception of the DDH-280 class ships(classified as destroyers by Jane's Fighting Ships), all of Canada's present day "destroyers" are actually frigates, the word destroyer being used as a short form of "destroyer escort", which was their original classification.

The US Navy's Fleet Satellite Communications System(FLTSATCOM) is a constellation of five operational satellites used by both the Navy and Air Force as well as the presidential command network. The system with a design life of five years, serves as a secure communications link between the three users. Each satellite has 23 communications channels, 10 of which are used by the Navy for communication between its land forces, ships and aircraft. The Air Force uses 12 of the channels as part of its satellite communications system for command and control of nuclear forces. One channel is reserved for US national command authorities.

CONT

FLTSATCOM systems feature a main transmitting antenna that is 11 feet in diameter and surrounded by wire mesh screen. The body itself is hexagonal and is 8 inches wide and 4 feet tall. Two improved satellites recently joined four FLTSATCOM originals in orbit to extend the operation of the system well into the 1990s. The new systems carry an experimental extra-high-frequency package as a testbed for terminals being developed for the Milstar communications system.

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorology
DEF

Meteorological code, approved by the World Meteorological Organization, by which meteorological elements observed at the Earth’s surface at synoptic times are encoded in groups of five figures and transmitted internationally.

CONT

The synoptic code is the WMO standard method for transmitting surface weather information via communications circuits. It is universal in that there are formats for data collected in several units (for wind speed), contains no plain language information (i.e., it is entirely numeric), is always in the same format, etc. There are allowances for each individual country to include national data which are not necessarily of interest to the rest of the world. This code has its own tables, etc., which are for the most part different from those used in the airways code, but is much more systematic ...

OBS

The official reference for taking the surface observation for any observer in the United States is the Federal Meteorological Handbook No. 1, published jointly by the US Departments of Commerce(NWS), Transportation(FAA), and Defense(AWS/Navy). The complete synoptic code is described in the Federal Meteorological Handbook No. 2(same publishers as above).

OBS

Weather observers throughout the world record and report surface weather observations in four different international code forms. The four code forms are: METAR Code; SPECI Code; Land Synoptic Code; and Ship Synoptic Code.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Météorologie
DEF

Code météorologique, adopté par l'Organisation météorologique mondiale, selon lequel les éléments météorologiques observés à la surface de la Terre à des heures synoptiques sont mis sous une forme codée par groupes de cinq chiffres et transmis internationalement.

CONT

Le code synoptique. Le code météorologique international FM 12-IX SYNOP est utilisé pour transmettre les observations synoptiques de surface des stations terrestres, observations effectuées de façon manuelle ou automatique. Ce code est appelé FM 13-IX SHIP lorsqu'il est utilisé pour transmettre des observations similaires effectuées à partir d'une station manuelle ou automatique maritime. Le code synoptique normal comprend six groupes numérotés de 0 à 5, chacun d'entre eux composé d'un code de 5 chiffres. La plupart des groupes des sections 0 à 5 commencent par un indicateur numérique et ces indicateurs sont numéroté successivement à l'intérieur de chaque section. Les indicateurs numériques identifient un groupe particulier contenant toujours les mêmes éléments atmosphériques. De ce fait, l'omission qu'elle soit accidentelle ou volontaire de chacun des groupes ne doit pas empêcher l'identification des autres groupes. De toute façon, le code permet l'omission d'un groupe dont les éléments atmosphériques sont absents ou ne peuvent être observés.
