First, there are forums. In defense there are two topic forums, UAV Agency and Ballistic Missile Defense, and two group forums, Program Management Exchange and Defense Executive Exchange. The group venue provides a place for like-minded professionals to network and exchange ideas. If you have your own ideas for topics, there is another forum where suggestions can be posted. Second, is a user photo gallery. Check out the photos that are up and add yours. Just go to aviationweek.com/dti, click on “Extras for this Issue” and follow the links under my column to the forums and photo gallery. Don’t forget to check Ares, Defense Technology International’s weblog, every day. It’s the place to find our latest reports and updates. In September, DTI’s editors completed their comprehensive and industryleading web coverage of DSEi in London. One great example of our timely and relevant show coverage was the posting of the first photos of the new MiG Skat UCAV (unmanned combat air vehicle) from the MAKS air show in Moscow. Be sure to check them out. Meanwhile, here are some of the best posts from the Ares weblog since our last issue: Wide-Angle View: Editor-in-Chief Bill Sweetman looks at the new Sukhoi AESA radar. Pain Ray a No-go for Iraq: Why the Active Denial System is not being deployed yet. For Sale—One Complete Army: Some lucky country could buy a basically complete, slightly used army from the Netherlands. Gotcha, Hoser! Canadian sub catches British ship in war games. Carrier-based Hercs? Imagine flying C-130s o a ship. Navy Lowers the Ante: The Low-Collateral-Damage Bomb made its operational debut July 27. Pen Is Mightier Dept.: Government employees are spending a lot of time editing Wikipedia. Su-35 Debuts: The first photos of Russia’s newest jet fighter were released at the MAKS air show in Moscow. Electronic Attack Mode: U.S. Marines will soon be able to call in a burst of electrons to jam communications or destroy computers as readily as they call in artillery or air strikes. JSF Engine Debate: Noted expert could be wrong on the importance of an alternate engine. Problems With Lakota? The headlines claim the Pentagon sees flaws in a light utility helicopter. A simple story, right? Another flawed product from a contractor? Maybe not. Bad Day for a Bad Guy: Video shows a Predator UAV stalking an insurgent. The insurgent plants a roadside bomb, walks to his car, drives away—and promptly gets blown up by a bomb from the UAV. —Sean Meade, Columbia, S.C.
