TORPEDOES This is a self-propelled, self-guided weapon. Torpedoes of some type were part of the standard weaponry of most Starfleet vessels in the 22nd to 24th centuries. Torpedoes were primarily used in space combat as an alternative to directed energy weapons such as disruptors and phasers. Torpedoes could be configured before launch to fit various specifications. Normally a torpedo was equipped with a warhead, and the explosive yield of this warhead could vary depending on the type of torpedo. Torpedo launchers brought the weapon into the launch tube and allowed fire control from the ship's bridge, although a torpedo could be launched manually. (; ) Most of the time a tactical officer was responsible for target acquisition and launch sequence. The maximum effective range of a torpedo depended on its type. Range was dependent on propulsion and acquisition capabilities. Propulsion was categorized basically by whether the torpedo was warp-capable or used another method of propulsion. Some types of torpedoes were equipped with a self-destruction mechanism. For those types, if a torpedo needed to be aborted and destroyed, due to, for example, a targeting acquisition problem, it could be destroyed. Torpedoes were used by different species and varied in type, appearance, explosive yield, and effective range. There were several types of torpedoes: Advanced long-range torpedo - an undetectable long-range photon torpedo designed by John Harrison in the alternate reality Antimatter torpedo - an antimatter weapon, used by Kelemane's species Chroniton torpedo - a torpedo in temporal flux, used by the Krenim Imperium Gravimetric torpedo - a heavy weapon with a gravimetric charge, used by Starfleet Isolytic burst - an illegal subspace weapon used by the Son'a Photon torpedo - the most common type of torpedo, used by multiple species Photonic torpedo - an antimatter weapon, used by Starfleet and the Vissians Plasma torpedo - used by Romulan, Cardassian, and Kazon forces Pulse wave torpedo - a torpedo that could be used to disrupt subspace anomalies Quantum torpedo - an advanced weapon, used by Starfleet, the Terran Rebellion, and the Cardassian Union Series 5 torpedo - an antimatter torpedo with artificial intelligence developed by the Druoda Spatial torpedo - Triton-class spatial torpedoes were used by Starfleet in the 22nd century Stratospheric torpedo - a torpedo used in planetary atmospheres by Starfleet and the Maquis Transphasic torpedo - an anti-Borg weapon, originally developed by Captain Kathryn Janeway in an alternate timeline. 1 Share

DRONES What are drones used for and how are they controlled? To the military, they are UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems). However, they are more commonly known as drones. Drones are used in situations where manned flight is considered too risky or difficult. They provide troops with a 24-hour "eye in the sky", seven days a week. Each aircraft can stay aloft for up to 17 hours at a time, loitering over an area and sending back real-time imagery of activities on the ground. Those used by the United States Air Force and Royal Air Force range from small intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance craft, some light enough to be launched by hand, to medium-sized armed drones and large spy planes. Although the US does not routinely speak publicly about operations involving drones, President Obama has confirmed that they regularly strike suspected militants in Pakistan's tribal areas. The use of such unmanned aircraft in the area began under President George W Bush, but their use has more than doubled under the Obama administration. Drones are seen by many in the military as delivering precision strikes without the need for more intrusive military action. However, they are not without controversy. Hundreds of people have been killed by the strikes in Pakistan - civilians as well as militants, causing outrage. One of the deadliest attacks was in March 2011 when 40 were killed, many believed to be civilians at a tribal meeting. Key drone types Two of the medium-sized drones currently in use in Afghanistan and Pakistan are the MQ-1B Predator and the MQ-9 Reaper. These strange-looking planes carry a wealth of sensors in their bulbous noses: colour and black-and-white TV cameras, image intensifiers, radar, infra-red imaging for low-light conditions and lasers for targeting. They can also be armed with laser-guided missiles. Each multi-million dollar Predator or Reaper system comprises four aircraft, a ground control station and a satellite link. Although drones are unmanned, they are not unpiloted - trained crew at base steer the craft, analyse the images which the cameras send back and act on what they see.. 2 Shares

AIRCRAFT CARRIERS aircraft carrier is a warship that serves as a seagoing airbase, equipped with a full-length flight deck and facilities for carrying, arming, deploying, and recovering aircraft.[1] Typically, it is the capital ship of a fleet, as it allows a naval force to project air power worldwide without depending on local bases for staging aircraft operations. Aircraft carriers are expensive to build and are critical assets. Aircraft carriers have evolved from converted cruisers to nuclear-powered warships that carry numerous fighter planes, strike aircraft, helicopters, and other types of aircraft. The USA has the largest carrier of any fleet and sadly Nigeria have non..... 1 Share
