Download or read book VHSIC Electronics and the Cost of Air Force Avionics in the 1990s written by Paul S. Killingsworth and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1990 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very High Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSICs) is the name of a Department of Defense technology program to develop the next generation of solid-state electronic technology for military systems. While VHSIC electronics has great potential, there is uncertainty about how VHSIC will affect system costs in almost every phase of the weapon system life cycle. This report is a thorough discussion of the cost issues associated with the use of VHSIC electronics in military systems. It is also a primer for cost analysts on how integrated circuits are designed and fabricated. Finally, it suggests methodologies, including cost estimating relationships, to develop cost estimates for systems that incorporate VHSIC technology.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the nature of civil war in the modern world and in historical perspective. Civil wars represent the principal form of armed conflict since the end of the Second World War, and certainly in the contemporary era. The nature and impact of civil wars suggests that these conflicts reflect and are also a driving force for major societal change. In this sense, "Understanding Civil War: Continuity and Change in Intrastate Conflict" argues that the nature of civil war is not fundamentally changing in nature. The book includes a thorough consideration of patterns and types of intrastate conflict and debates relating to the causes, impact, and changing nature of war. A key focus is on the political and social driving forces of such conflict and its societal meanings, significance and consequences. The author also explores methodological and epistemological challenges related to studying and understanding intrastate war. A range of questions and debates are addressed. What is the current knowledge regarding the causes and nature of armed intrastate conflict? Is it possible to produce general, cross-national theories on civil war which have broad explanatory relevance? Is the concept of civil wars empirically meaningful in an era of globalization and transnational war? Has intrastate conflict fundamentally changed in nature? Are there historical patterns in different types of intrastate conflict? What are the most interesting methodological trends and debates in the study of armed intrastate conflict? How are narratives about the causes and nature of civil wars constructed around ideas such as ethnic conflict, separatist conflict and resource conflict? This book will be of much interest to students of civil wars, intrastate conflict, security studies and IR in general.
Download or read book Defense Reform and Technology written by Serge Herzog and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1994-05-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To capture the defense reform debate surrounding the proper application of high technology in military systems, this study focuses on tactical aircraft, an area epitomizing cutting-edge technology. Air combat history is revisited (including the 1991 Persian Gulf War) to confirm, reject, or qualify positions advocating certain technologies in tactical aviation. Emphasis is placed on enduring combat ideas and aircraft design principles. The interaction between mission requirements, inventory composition, and aircraft design is discussed to illustrate the dynamics of constrained choice that enters acquisition decisions. The relevance of reform arguments in the post-Cold War era is assessed, including the impact of political and economic constraints on future force-mix options, the shift from NATO-centered contingencies to Third World Low Intensity Conflict (LIC), and the threat of conventional arms proliferation.
