Future Urban Warfare Weaponry v3.0
The document discusses the effectiveness of tanks in urban warfare, both historically and currently. It notes that in 1968 in Hue, Vietnam, tanks and artillery fire helped US Marines seize the city with relatively few casualties despite fighting 12,000 enemy troops. Today, the document reports that senior tank officers say tanks remain effective in urban areas, as their firepower deters gunmen who then flee. For the future, the document proposes exploiting new technologies like robotics and unmanned systems to reduce risks to soldiers in urban combat.
Band Tracks = Stealth Tanks
This document summarizes the development of a band track system for military vehicles. It describes the key components of the band track including continuously molded rubber with integrated drive mechanisms and aramid and polyester reinforcement. It then highlights the development and testing of 12-ton and 15-ton vehicle band tracks, including durability, performance, acoustic, and blast testing. The final section notes a key benefit is that the band tracks weigh 50% less than traditional steel tracks while also reducing acoustic signature and maintenance requirements.
New CONEX Military Ideas
1. The US Army is developing "zero footprint" expeditionary bases that are self-sufficient through technologies like converting vehicle exhaust to drinking water, transforming waste into energy, and using portable solar and wind power.
2. A Tactical Garbage to Energy Refinery converts solid and liquid waste at Camp Victory, Iraq into electricity to help power generators, reducing the need for fuel resupply convoys.
3. Making bases more energy efficient through measures like insulating tents has already helped eliminate the equivalent of 12 fuel convoys per day in Iraq.

The document is a series of images that require QuickTime and a decompressor to view. QuickTime and a decompressor are needed to see the pictures presented in the document. The pictures cannot be viewed without using QuickTime and a decompressor.
Human electric Scout Vehicle (eMTBs)
The document proposes developing human-electric scout vehicles called HESVs to transport soldiers over long distances efficiently while reducing logistical needs, suggesting using electric bicycles, motorcycles, and robots to allow reconnaissance with minimal detectable footprint and fossil fuel dependency, and noting that such vehicles could loiter for days gathering data at low cost compared to traditional vehicles.
Joint Attack Pathfinder Teams v1.0
The document summarizes the history and capabilities of short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft used for maneuver air support of ground forces. It discusses the German Fi-156 Storch from World War 2 that could take off and land in very short distances. During subsequent conflicts, the U.S. Army and Marines used light liaison aircraft like the Cessna L-19 Bird Dog that could operate from improvised runways but were slow and unarmed. The OV-1 Mohawk was introduced as a faster, armed successor that could take off and land in under 1,000 feet. The document proposes fielding OV-1s in a joint attack pathfinder maneuver air support team concept, with

MENTAL MODULARITY: Is NOT Fixing the U.S. Army
The document summarizes that Schoomaker's modularity plan does not adequately address the physical vulnerabilities of the U.S. Army's ground forces. It argues the plan slices up weak maneuver components into smaller pieces without changing their inherent weaknesses to threats like RPGs. The proposed solution is to replace vulnerable trucks with available tracked armored vehicles like the M113 Gavin, equip support elements with armored vehicles, and fully armor existing tanks and infantry carriers to counter non-linear battlefield threats through robust physical capabilities rather than additional sensors or gadgets.

The document outlines various sources of funding for the Affordable Care Act including mandatory spending, grants, loans, fees, taxes, and penalties. It discusses federal funding sources such as the Health Insurance Reform Implementation Fund and grants for state exchange planning. It also outlines funding amounts, terms, and key dates for funding streams including funds for Medicaid expansion, CO-OP loans, and deadlines for exchange self-sufficiency.
AMS New Appx B11-13
The Bell-Boeing proposed Quad-Tilt Rotor (QTR) concept is an advanced transport rotorcraft that can carry a 20 ton payload up to 1000 kilometers without refueling using components from the V-22 Osprey for commonality. The QTR fuselage would be the size of a C-130 and able to transport a wide range of vehicles and loads, including over 100 passengers. Bell recently began testing the QTR with DARPA to analyze its capabilities.
Operation ANACONDA AAR
This document outlines lessons learned and notable accomplishments from Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan. The key lessons learned were the need for over-the-horizon communications, intra-theater fixed-wing resupply for air assault forces, all-weather fire support systems, lightweight counter-mortar radar, command and control aircraft, and lightweight mobility on the ground. Notable accomplishments included it being the first major conventional battle of the war in Afghanistan, the largest and longest light-infantry engagement since Vietnam, 14 combat air assaults without loss, and it involved a coalition of 7 countries in the first major joint operation.
Cargo 747 Air-Mech v9.0
The document discusses transporting military vehicles in cargo Boeing 747 aircraft. Specifically:
1) The M113A3 armored fighting vehicle can be air-transported by cargo 747s using a sub-floor of 463L pallets, with up to 6 vehicles fitting in a single aircraft.
2) Other vehicles like the M973A2 and Wiesel 2 tracked vehicles are also transportable by 747s using 463L pallets.
3) The document proposes configurations for Infantry Brigade Combat Teams that maximize use of 747 airlift capabilities for rapid deployment.
Half-Sked CLS Bag v2.0
The Half-SKED Combat LifeSaver Bag is designed to carry medical supplies and equipment. It has elastic pouches to hold field dressings, an IV bag, and other small medical items. The bag can be carried horizontally under a rucksack, vertically like a backpack, or diagonally across the shoulder. It also has straps to cinch the bag down or attach it to a rucksack for transport.
Dover C-5B crash
A C-5B Galaxy aircraft crashed at Dover Air Force Base in 2006. The crash occurred during takeoff and the nose gear collapsed, causing the plane to skid off the runway. Investigators determined the crash was due to a lack of proper shoring of the nose gear during maintenance.
Gaffney's Slides
The document discusses Interim Brigade Combat Teams (IBCT), including:
- An IBCT is a 3,400 troop motorized infantry brigade with towed artillery and a 240 troop reconnaissance squadron.
- IBCTs require converting 20% of today's combat force and are focused on high-end small scale conflicts and urban warfare.
- IBCTs depend on augmentation from division/corps assets and are not capable of autonomous joint task force operations without additional support.
- There is a question around why the Army needs to provide a capability for small scale conflict that may be redundant to the US Marine Corps' capabilities.
SLEW RIG v3.0
Captain John Wilson has created the SLEW rig which allows soldiers to carry their Load Bearing Equipment (LBE) in a Camelbak assault pack or Miles harness instead of wearing it, eliminating LBE from the soldier's hips and legs to increase mobility. The SLEW rig places M16/M4 magazines in front for easy access and some ballistic protection, and uses the assault pack to store essential items like food and clothing.

Enfermedades respiratorias
Este documento presenta información sobre varias enfermedades respiratorias como la gripe, resfriado común, amigdalitis, faringitis, sinusitis y asma. Describe las causas, manifestaciones clínicas, diagnóstico y tratamiento de cada una. En particular, señala que la gripe es causada por virus ortomixovirus, mientras que el resfriado común es por rinovirus. Para la amigdalitis y faringitis, la causa más frecuente es el estreptococo del grupo A.
AT-6C Texan II Observation/Attack Aircraft
This document proposes procuring armed Hawker Beechcraft T-6 aircraft, called AT-6Cs, to provide a new capability for US counterinsurgency operations. It suggests establishing a training unit in the continental US and deploying about 20 aircraft to Iraq/Afghanistan and 10 to the Philippines/Horn of Africa. The document reviews the historical use of aircraft in counterinsurgency, why a new aircraft may be needed, potential alternatives, and scenarios showing how the AT-6C could be used. It proposes having the Air National Guard operate the aircraft to provide a rapidly executable option for increasing US and coalition counterinsurgency capabilities.
21st Century Battleships: THE FUTURE
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins in the brain which elevate mood and reduce stress levels.
New SKEDCO Products
The document proposes a cover for NVG mounts on helmets to prevent snagging during parachute jumps and identifies issues with current taping methods, including covering ranks. Diagrams show how to attach a nylon cover with velcro flaps to the helmet to protect the NVG mount while still displaying ranks and IR identification markings. Instructions also provide a method for attaching a lifeline for emergency rappelling using a snaplink carabiner.
Light Infantry Resupply Transformation v3.0
The document proposes solutions to challenges facing light infantry resupply. It suggests using a Lift-N-Go forklift/trailer (LNG) that can transport palletized supplies on Humvees or M-GATOR trucks. This allows supplies to be delivered via helicopter on pallets and then transported to companies without manual breaking down of supplies. It estimates the total cost of providing LNGs and related equipment to light infantry, air assault and airborne units to be $2.52 billion. The solutions aim to increase mobility and firepower while reducing exposure time for troops.
Sheeple-Minded Strykerites
A Stryker truck got stuck but was then unstuck by a track vehicle. The Stryker cheerleaders were ready to deny that the truck got stuck at all and would lie about the incident happening. The document asks if there are any questions about the situation with the stuck and then unstuck Stryker truck.
Zhukovsky Air Show: Smart Russians
The document summarizes an air show that will take place in 2007 at Zhukovsky Airport in Russia. Zhukovsky Airport is located on the shore of Galendzhik Lake, about a 3 hour drive from Moscow, and was formerly a secret test airport. Its location on a large body of water makes it well suited to display flying boats, which are a focus of Russian aircraft design. The air show will not only feature demonstrations of advanced Russian aircraft, but will allow viewers to watch flights more closely than would be permitted under Western safety regulations. A list of over 50 aircraft types from Russian manufacturers that will be displayed at the show is included.
Why U.S. Soldiers are Killed in Iraq v1.0
More U.S. soldiers have been killed in Iraq. The document discusses deficiencies in the armor protection provided by vehicles like the Stryker and up-armored Humvees. It argues that these wheeled vehicles cannot adequately protect soldiers from roadside bombs and RPGs. The document proposes using upgraded M113 Gavin tracked armored vehicles instead, which it says could better protect soldiers at a lower cost. It questions why the Army is not implementing these solutions to save soldiers' lives.
Wheeled Mine Strike: Afghanistan (U.S. Copied This)
Scouts are responsible for clearing routes of obstacles before hikers use them. When Scouts fail to properly clear routes, hikers can encounter dangers like fallen trees blocking the path or steep drop-offs on the side of trails. As a result, hikers may get injured if routes are not cleared by Scouts as expected.

USAF DragonEye 1
The USAF proposes creating a "Dragon's Eye Squadron" consisting of armored, mobile ground surveillance aircraft that can operate deep in enemy territory to rapidly identify time-critical targets, speeding up the process of sensing threats and launching precision strikes against them in coordination with ground forces. The costs to establish this capability would be small as the necessary equipment is already in use.
Uninspired Sealift vs Cargo 747s vs LCAC Sealift
This document discusses options for rapidly deploying military vehicles and troops overseas despite obstacles. It proposes modifying cargo planes to transport vehicles long-distances in 1 day. It also describes using catamaran ferries and landing craft carriers that launch hovercraft to transport vehicles over shallow waters and deliver them across beaches, bypassing the need for port infrastructure. However, these options require refueling frequently or have limited range. The document argues the best approach is using ships that can launch landing craft and interface them with barges to fly vehicles directly to shore over obstacles like sea mines.
Tsvposter with M113A4 AmphiGavins or Super Gavins
The document discusses a joint venture between HSV-X1 catamarans and M113A4 Amphigavin amphibious vehicles. It provides details of a notional infantry company cargo report outlining various equipment that could be transported by the vessels, including fire control systems, antennae, trucks, trailers, and 40 M113A4 infantry carriers weighing 1.12 million pounds total. It also lists additional cargo of over 500,000 pounds that would not be loaded onto the joint venture vessels.
Tank-Box-Plane v2.0
The document calls for defeating an unspecified enemy and protecting troops while avoiding financial ruin. It references combat reform and provides a web address for more information.
T72 Medium Tank Destroyed by Top-Attack Missile
The document shows before and after photos of a Javelin anti-tank guided missile being fired at a fully loaded T-72 tank. The after photos show the tank's turret, gun, road wheels, and track were destroyed by the missile impact, while the engine was left intact but around 65 meters from the impact site.
SpeedHawk v3.0
The document discusses a proposed upgrade to the Blackhawk helicopter called the VTDP Compound Helo. The upgrade is said to provide a 50% increase in speed, 130% increase in combat radius, and ability for self-deployment over 96 hours. This would half the cost of new aircraft while providing greater payload, range, survivability and faster MEDEVAC capabilities. Diagrams show how adding wings and a propeller can reduce rotor load to increase speed and range in hover and forward flight.
SpeedHawk 1-Page Hand-Out Slide v2.0
The document discusses a proposed upgrade to the Blackhawk helicopter called the VTDP Compound Helo. The upgrade would provide a 50% increase in speed, 130% increase in combat radius, and allow for self-deployment over 96 hours. This would half the cost of new aircraft while providing increased payload, range, and survivability compared to current Blackhawks. Wing and propeller additions would reduce rotor load, increasing speed and range in hover and forward flight.
SpeedHook v1.0
The document describes a low-cost upgrade for the CH-47 helicopter that would allow it to self-deploy, increase its top speed by 50% to 225 knots, and gain additional range. This would be achieved by adding removable wings with wing tanks for extra fuel, installing an off-the-shelf turbo-fan engine with a gearbox to transfer power more efficiently to the rotor at higher speeds, and attaching a lightweight carbon fiber tail cone to reduce drag during self-deployments.
Sealift 05: Comparison to Cargo 747s
The document discusses an HMAS Jervis Bay 86m class catamaran that can carry 569 troops or 15 light armored vehicles. It has a range of 1,500 miles at 45 mph but must offload onto a pier after 1.5 days of travel due to limitations. It uses 125,000 gallons of fuel per hour with a capacity of 4,125,000 gallons, requiring 6 refuelings to travel from San Francisco to Sydney over 6 days if not interdicted. The estimated fuel cost for a one-way trip is $24 million at a bulk rate of $1 per gallon.
Sealift 04: Cargo 747s Better than BS HSS
A modified civilian 747 cargo plane can transport 420-569 troops or military vehicles like tanks and trucks in a single flight. It has a fuel capacity of 57,000 gallons, allowing it to fly extremely long routes over bodies of water and potential military threats. At 500 mph, a 747 could deliver supplies directly from the US to Taiwan in one day for an estimated fuel cost of $57,000.
SeaBasing 21 v3.0
The document discusses concepts for improving sea-based logistics and operations for the Army. It recommends that the Army work with the Navy and DOT to develop high-speed ships that can transport troops and equipment faster. It also recommends developing technologies to rapidly offload ships in austere ports. The Army should standardize packaging for equipment and develop modular containers like ISO containers to improve loading and unloading times.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
