The first space-based GPS augmentation systems were implemented using the L-band geostationary transponders launched on the Inmarsat-3 satellites. The Ground Uplink Station (GUS) hardware and software, which enables these “bent-pipe” transponders to broadcast pseudo-GPS signals, was developed by NAVSYS. The Ground Uplink Station equipment allows the Inmarsat-3 GPS augmentation signals to be pre...

This describes a -simple method of keeping a graft from the lacrymal sac i-n position in external dacryOcystorhinostomy andrequires the use of no special instruments other than those provided in the equipment of a Military Hospital. The use of rubber tubing is introduced to do this (tube drainage of the frontal sinus into the nose is a common procedure and suggested its employment in-these case...

A military surgeon is a physician who works in a standard clinical field, but who also has to learn to adapt his skills to exceptional circumstances and must cope with special challenges due to his deployment in crisis regions, a fact that is one of the major factors influencing military medical strategy planning. The only certainty is that these special circumstances differ fundamentally from ...

UNLABELLED Trekking and military missions generally consist of carrying heavy loads for extreme durations. These factors have been separately shown to be sources of neuromuscular (NM) fatigue and locomotor alterations. However, the question of their combined effects remains unresolved, and addressing this issue required a representative context. PURPOSE The aim was to investigate the effects ...

Over the past year, the GPS Military Signal Design Team (GMSDT), led by the GPS Joint Program Office (JPO), has produced a recommended design of the new military signal for the L1 and L2 bands. This paper synopsizes the resulting M code signal design, which is to be implemented in modernized satellites and in a new generation of receivers. The paper summarizes the history that led to GPS Modern...

Injuries are common within military populations, with high incidence rates well established in the literature. Injuries cause a substantial number of working days lost, a significant cost through compensation claims and an increased risk of attrition. In an effort to address this, a considerable amount of research has gone into identifying the most prevalent types of injury and their associated...

Critical care in the U.S. military has significantly evolved in the last decade. More recently, the U.S. military has implemented organizational changes, including the use of multidisciplinary teams in austere environments to improve outcomes in severely injured polytrauma combat patients. Specifically, organizational changes in combat support hospitals located in combat zones during Operation ...

In the fall of 2002 the Fire Brigade Union within the United Kingdom proposed a ballot on strike action in support of a wage demand. Consequently the Ministry of Defence agreed that in the event of strike action, emergency assistance to the local authorities would be provided by deploying military staff to man fire-fighting equipment and to provide command and control functions. The military De...
