This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rigorous operational testing (OT) of weapon systems procured by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is fundamental to ensuring that these sophisticated systems not only meet their stated requirements, but also perform under realistic operational conditions when faced by determined adversaries employing their own highly capable offensive and defensive weaponry. DoD's test and training range enterprise provides the geography, infrastructure, technology, expertise, processes, and management that make safe, secure, and comprehensive OT possible. The challenges facing the nation's range infrastructure are both increasing and accelerating. Limited test capacity in physical resources and workforce, the age of test infrastructure, the capability to test advanced technologies, and encroachment impact the ability to inform system performance, integrated system performance and the overall pace of testing. Necessary DoD Range Capabilities to Ensure Operational Superiority of U.S. Defense Systems assesses the physical and technical suitability of DoD test and evaluation ranges, infrastructure, and tools for determining the operational effectiveness, suitability, survivability, and lethality of military systems. This report explores modernization, sustainment, operations, and resource challenges for test and evaluation ranges, and makes recommendations to put the DoD range enterprise on a modernization trajectory to meet the needs of OT in the years ahead.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, the Department of Defense (DOD) has tested and fired munitions on millions of acres of operational ranges. These munitions contain various constituents such as lead, trinitrotoluene (TNT), and ammonium perchlorate salt (perchlorate) that are, in some instances, known or suspected of causing health effects such as damage to the central and peripheral nervous systems, cancer, and interfering with thyroid function. Concerns about the potential cost to clean up munitions prompted Congress to require that DOD develop an estimate for what it would cost to clean up its operational ranges. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 required DOD to provide (1) a comprehensive assessment of unexploded ordnance, discarded military munitions, and munitions constituents at current and former DOD facilities; and (2) an estimate of the aggregate projected cost of remediation (cleanup) at operational ranges,1 stated as a range of costs, including a low and high estimate. As of April 2003, DOD identified 10,444 operational ranges located in the United States and its territories, with Army operational ranges accounting for 94 percent of the total. DOD estimated it would cost between $16 billion and $165 billion to clean up unexploded ordnance, discarded military munitions, and munitions constituents on these operational ranges. constituents on these operational ranges.

This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other locations around the world have highlighted the need for U.S. forces to train as they intend to fight. DoD training ranges and operating areas are required to be managed and operated to support their long-term viability and utility to meet the national defense mission. Sustainable training range mgmt. focuses on the practices that allow the military to manage its ranges in a way that ensures their usefulness well into the future. This audit discusses: (1) the extent to which DoD's 2008 sustainable ranges report and training range inventory address the elements of section 366; and (2) opportunities for DoD to further improve its sustainable ranges report. Illus. This is a print on demand report.

Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The DoD¿s training ranges vary in size from a few acres, for small arms training, to over a million acres for large maneuver exercises and weapons testing, and include broad open ocean areas for offshore training and testing. DoD has defined a number of factors -- including competition for broadcast frequencies or airspace, air and noise pollution, endangered species, critical habitats and other protected resources, unexploded munitions, urban growth around installations, and civilian access -- that it says encroach upon its training ranges. This report discusses: (1) DoD¿s progress in addressing this issue; and (2) improvements incorporated in DoD¿s 2009 annual sustainable ranges report as well as DoD¿s plans for its 2010 report.

Book excerpt: Traditionally, military Ranges have existed to verify performance and aid in designed of weapons and weapons systems. Those Ranges which become involved in flight and exo-atmospheric applications have also developed an operational capability used to support ongoing space and missile programs. This paper addresses military Range support capabilities and specific operational aspects of Range support to the Space Transportation System (STS). Its primary emphasis will be on C-band radar tracking and data flows rather than on the more familiar facets of range support. (Author).

Download or read book Strategy written by Edward N. Luttwak and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2002-01-31 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you want peace, prepare for war.” “A buildup of offensive weapons can be purely defensive.” “The worst road may be the best route to battle.” Strategy is made of such seemingly self-contradictory propositions, Edward Luttwak shows—they exemplify the paradoxical logic that pervades the entire realm of conflict.In this widely acclaimed work, now revised and expanded, Luttwak unveils the peculiar logic of strategy level by level, from grand strategy down to combat tactics. Having participated in its planning, Luttwak examines the role of air power in the 1991 Gulf War, then detects the emergence of “post-heroic” war in Kosovo in 1999—an American war in which not a single American soldier was killed.In the tradition of Carl von Clausewitz, Strategy goes beyond paradox to expose the dynamics of reversal at work in the crucible of conflict. As victory is turned into defeat by over-extension, as war brings peace by exhaustion, ordinary linear logic is overthrown. Citing examples from ancient Rome to our own days, from Barbarossa and Pearl Harbor down to minor combat affrays, from the strategy of peace to the latest operational methods of war, this book by one of the world’s foremost authorities reveals the ultimate logic of military failure and success, of war and peace.
