Pongoz Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 HIGHLY CLASSIFIED: In order to protect the Kingdom from ballistic missile threats, the Ministry of Defense is to implement a Strategic Warfare Command. This command will organize, maintain, and utilize non-nuclear strategic weapons and air defense systems. The area of air defense will utilize the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), and Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS). These different systems will also be integrated into an overall Anti-Air Defense Network, Interceptor Missile System, and Strategic Defense Initiative. GMD is the system for intercepting incoming warheads in space. It is a major component of the missile defense strategy to counter ballistic missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) carrying nuclear, chemical, biological or conventional warheads in a ballistic flight trajectory. The key sub-systems of the GMD system are: Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV) Ground-based interceptor (GBI) – For every interceptor missile there are a missile silo and a silo interface vault (SIV), which is an underground electronics room adjacent to the silo. Battle management command, control and communications (BMC3) Ground-based radars (GBR) Upgraded early warning radars (UEWR) (a.k.a. PAVE PAWS) Forward-based X-band radars (FBXB) such as the sea-based X-band platform and the AN/TPY-2 THAAD is an anti-ballistic missile system designed to shoot down short, medium, and intermediate ballistic missiles in their terminal phase using a hit-to-kill approach. The missile carries no warhead but relies on the kinetic energy of the impact to destroy the incoming missile. A kinetic energy hit minimizes the risk of exploding conventional warhead ballistic missiles, and nuclear tipped ballistic missiles won't explode upon a kinetic energy hit, although chemical or biological warheads may disintegrate or explode and pose a risk of contaminating the environment. MEADS is a ground-mobile air and missile defense system. The system provides force protection against a broad array of third-dimension threats. Improved interoperability, mobility, and full 360-degree defense capability against the evolving threat represent are key aspects. MEADS is the first air and missile defense (AMD) system that provides continuous on-the-move protection for maneuver forces. MEADS also provides area defense, homeland defense, and weighted asset protection. The MEADS air and missile defense system is composed of five major equipment items. Multifunction Fire Control Radar (MFCR) – an X-band, solid-state, phased array radar using element-level transmit/receive modules. The active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar provides precision tracking and wideband discrimination and classification capabilities. For extremely rapid deployments, the MEADS MFCR can provide both surveillance and fire control capabilities until a surveillance radar joins the network. The MFCR uses its main beam for uplink and downlink missile communications. An advanced Mode 5 identify friend-or-foe subsystem supports improved threat identification and typing. Surveillance Radar (SR) – the UHF MEADS Surveillance Radar is a 360-degree active electronically steered array radar that provides extended range coverage. It provides threat detection capability against highly maneuverable low-signature threats, including short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and other air-breathing threats. Battle Management, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (BMC4I) Tactical Operations Center (TOC) – the MEADS TOC controls an advanced network-centric open architecture that allows any combination of sensors and launchers to be organized into a single air and missile defense battle element. Through a capability called plug-and-fight plug-and-fight, sensors, shooters, or other battle managers simply act as nodes on the network. From the MEADS battle manager, a commander can add or subtract nodes as the situation dictates without shutting down the system. Launcher and Reloader – the lightweight MEADS launcher is easily transportable, tactically mobile, and capable of rapid reload. It carries up to eight PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) Missiles and achieves launch readiness in minimum time. A MEADS reloader is similar but lacks launcher electronic systems. Certified Missile Round (PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement and canister) – The PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) missile is the baseline interceptor for MEADS. The interceptor increases the system's range and lethality over the baseline PAC-3 missile, which was selected as the primary missile for MEADS when the design and development program began in 2004. The MSE missile increases the engagement envelope and defended area by using more responsive control surfaces and a more powerful rocket motor. These systems will utilize ground, sea, air, and space assets to target and eliminate threats. OTH Radar has been installed throughout the country and mobile sea-based radars have been deployed off the Portuguese coast in the Mediterranean and Atlantic. The strategic weapons the command will use, only when authorized by the monarch her/himself, may be conventional, nuclear, biological, or chemical.

Pongoz Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 PUBLIC NEWS: Low-skilled workers encounter increasing difficulties to find a job, face lower job stability and are out-competed by medium-skilled workers even in elementary occupations, a report out this week by the Executor of Internal Administration has shown. In contrast, job opportunities are growing in some high-skilled professions. The report also highlights the increase in temporary and part-time work during the crisis and underlines the need to better support school-to-work transitions, to decrease segmentation of the labour markets and to up-skill jobseekers, particularly the low-qualified. Princess Luciana, Executor of Internal Administration along with Minister of Commerce Mateus Santos have announced a possible joint department solution to the employment problem throughout the Kingdom. Further details to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
