Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Marine Force One. A special detachment of the Marine Corps whose prowess in combat and specialized training sets them apart from the average grunt. They charge where others retreat, and succeed where others fail. They are the best America’s got. In the deserts of Iraq, there’s trouble under the blistering sun. Using an overland black-market route that stretches from Germany to Iraq, extremist forces have gathered materials to create a new weapon of devastation. It’s a hybrid nuclear warhead that needs no missile—it can be fired from artillery. And it could cast a radioactive cloud over the entire Middle East. Now, Major David Saxon and the warriors of Marine Force One must plunge into the heart of enemy territory, and cut the terrorist supply line down to size.

C4ISR for Future Naval Strike Groups
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309185904
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
The Navy has put forth a new construct for its strike forces that enables more effective forward deterrence and rapid response. A key aspect of this construct is the need for flexible, adaptive command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. To assist development of this capability, the Navy asked the NRC to examine C4ISR for carrier, expeditionary, and strike and missile defense strike groups, and for expeditionary strike forces. This report provides an assessment of C4ISR capabilities for each type of strike group; recommendations for C4ISR architecture for use in major combat operations; promising technology trends; and an examination of organizational improvements that can enable the recommended architecture.
