MacDill could actually gain from military cutbacks
02/02/2015U.S. Rep. David Jolly, BRAC is not a four-letter word. OK, so it’s not really a word, just another military acronym. But to Jolly, BRAC is still not in the category of those four-letter words you won’t find in these pages. BRAC, which officially stands for the Base Closure and Realignment Commission (I guess BCRC is just too hard to say), is being pushed by the White House and Pentagon, which are looking to cut spending even as they are increasing it.

New Apache confounded the enemy in combat, commander says
02/02/2015Lt. Col. John Davis said the enemy in Afghanistan had gotten used to the Apache AH-64D. The enemy knew roughly how long the Apache would take to get there, how long it could engage, when it would have to leave for fuel and when it might come back. The first battalion commander to deploy the new Apache AH-64E Guardian in combat said that's why the new model managed to scare a confused enemy.

F-16’s automatic ground collision avoidance system: details, strengths and limitationsby Rocky Jedick |
Ground Collision Avoidance Technology (GCAT)
On a recent flight in a Block 40 F-16 with our squadron's weapons officer I was introduced to the new pilot-activated recovery system (PARS). Starting at about 20,000 feet (FL 200) we rolled inverted and started a rapid 30 degree nose-low dive. The pilot pressed a button initiating the PARS. Immediately the aircraft's computer took command of the flight controls and we experienced a very intense 180-degree roll until wings level followed by a 5-G pull-up at 4 G's/second until we were again flying straight and level. On the second demonstration we put the aircraft in a 30-40 degree nose-up attitude. After PARS initiation, the Viper went into autopilot controlling the roll and yaw of the aircraft while allowing the nose to slice down until we were again straight and level.This PARS feature is part of the F-16's newest upgrade to avoid mishaps due to controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). The entire fleet of F-16's in the USAF received this important upgrade during the 2014 calendar year. This is incredibly EXCITING news for the fighter pilot community and hopefully will translate into hundreds of lives and billions of dollars saved. CFIT occurs for a variety of reasons and plagues aviation taking the lives of hundreds of military and general aviation pilots each year. Aside from PARS, the other application of this new capability is the Auto-GCAS (Ground Collision Avoidance System). Auto-GCAS provokes inputs to the flight controls similar to the PARS feature described above, but happens automatically without pilot initiation. The technology relies on sophisticated computer software, terrain maps, GPS and predictive algorithms that will 'take the jet' from the pilot when CFIT is predicted to be imminent.
A video HUD demo of the Auto-GCAS can be seen directly below, and further below a NASA video discussing how the GCAT technology was developed and works.
[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]
A Brief History of GCAT
The GCAT software was developed by NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB, in partnership with the Office of the Undersecretary for Personnel and Readiness, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), the Air Force Test Center (AFTC) and Lockheed Martin. The technology began development in the 1980's and was ready for testing by the late 1990's. By 2009, the Ground Collision Avoidance Technology was incorporated into an upgraded USAF Block 25 F-16D and underwent further testing at Edwards AFB, CA.According to NASA: "The team conducted more than 556 test maneuvers during 49 flights, some of which involved diving at the ground and toward the sides of mountains. Key objectives included demonstrating that Auto-GCAS could significantly reduce the number of mishaps resulting from pilot spatial disorientation, loss of situational awareness, gravity-induced loss of consciousness, and landing-gear-up landings."
Air Force officials announced in 2013 that an operational Auto-GCAS system would be installed in the F-16 fleet and this largely took place throughout the 2014 calendar year. At the base I am currently stationed, we received the upgrade in Sep-Oct 2014. The application has also been tested for general aviation. In 2012, Auto-GCAS was adapted for a small, unmanned research aircraft and implemented as a smartphone application using the Android operating system linked to the aircraft’s autopilot. There remain plans to develop similar systems that can be incorporated into the F-22, F-35, and F-18.

Strengths & Limitations of GCAT
Two of the most common human factors conditions that lead to death or loss of aircraft in combat aviation are spatial disorientation and G-induced loss of consciousness (G-LOC). Spatial Disorientation is the inability to determine one’s position, location, and motion relative to their environment, and is covered in greater detail in a separate post. There are three types of Spatial D: Unrecognized, Recognized, and Incapacitating. The Pilot-Activated Recovery System (PARS) will save pilots suffering from recognized and capacitating Spatial-D as long as the pilot remains able to activate the technology. If a pilot is spatially disoriented but remains unable to initiate PARS, Auto-GCAS should theoretically still save him/her from CFIT. The other big killer, the notorious G-LOC (For more info on Pulling G's see this post), is expected to occur less frequently with incorporation of the newer, more effective G-suit called ATAGS, but Auto-GCAS will also play a role to save pilot and aircraft if G-LOC were to occur. Lastly, gear up landings in any aircraft utilizing this technology should no longer occur.Ground Collision Avoidance Technology has some significant software and hardware limitations. For example, the system is not able to make inputs on the throttle. If the throttle is in idle upon activation, the aircraft will quickly lose maneuverability and control authority. This will limit the efficiency and ability for inputs of the flight controls to produce their desired effect. In other cases, a reduction in power may be required for the optimal recovery. Pilots have been trained on this new system and are aware of these limitations. If the GCAT systems find that they are unable to initiate recovery due to the current throttle setting, all it can do is notify the pilot.
Although this technology will undoubtedly give fighter pilot spouses reason to sleep more peacefully, possible exceptional circumstances in which the Auto-GCAS cannot prevent CFIT still exist. The recent loss of an F-16 and death of Capt. Will "Pyro" DuBois after installation of GCAT remains a tragic example of the fact that even though new technologies are creating significant strides in safety, the risk inherent to combat aviation will always be present.

30-01-2015 01:00 AM EET Frontex is the Agency which helps those EU Member States facing strong migratory pressures to secure the EU's external borders, through coordinating deployment of equipment and border guards made available by Member States. In recent years, Frontex has managed a number of operations off the coasts of Greece, Italy and Spain, as well as on the Union's eastern land borders. With the continuing influx of migrants seeking to enter the Union by ever-increasing routes and methods, many experts underline the limited resources available to Frontex and call on the EU and its Member States to increase their contributions to the Agency. Em síntese - Country of origin labelling for meat in processed foods 30-01-2015 01:00 AM EET All consumers of processed foods should be able to see where the meat in what they are eating came from. The February plenary session is due to vote on a resolution proposed by the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee calling on the Commission to propose EU legislation to make country of origin labelling compulsory for all meats in processed food. Em síntese - European Asylum Support Office (EASO) 30-01-2015 01:00 AM EET The European Asylum Support Office (EASO) is an EU agency which provides tools to help Member States prepare for an influx of asylum applicants and to implement EU legislation in the field. It also supports Member States which face particular asylum-related pressures. Em síntese - Cross-border parental child abduction 30-01-2015 01:00 AM EET When families break down, some parents resort to unlawful child abduction, taking their child abroad without the consent of the other parent. Seeking legal remedy is often complex and frustrating because of the different jurisdictions involved. The 1980 Hague Convention is the main international instrument in this area, and now has 93 participating states, including all EU Member States. Em síntese - Zero tolerance for female genital mutilation 30-01-2015 01:00 AM EET The European Union is committed to working collectively to eradicate female genital mutilation (FGM) as part of broader efforts to combat all forms of violence against women and girls, and to support the efforts of its Member States in this field. However, the European Parliament is concerned that the EU's efforts are insufficient to tackle the problem, and in particular that there is a lack of concrete deadlines for EU actions. The EP is therefore continuing to push for the EU to adopt binding instruments for combating gender-based violence. Em síntese - EU-wide information exchange on traffic offences 30-01-2015 01:00 AM EET In 2011 the European Parliament and Council adopted a Directive to facilitate cross-border exchange of information on traffic offences related to road safety. The aim was to improve road safety by establishing a basis for the enforcement of sanctions for traffic offences committed by non-resident drivers. The Court of Justice of the European Union annulled this Directive in May 2014, finding that it had been adopted on an invalid legal basis, but allowed its effects to be maintained for a further year. In July 2014 the European Commission proposed a new Directive aimed at ensuring continuity in the provisions of the old one. |

Petição contra a tortura: Filipinas [Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem] Amnistia Internacional Portugal [Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem] 28 de janeiro de 2014: a Comissão de Direitos Humanos das Filipinas torna pública a descoberta de uma "roda da tortura" num centro de detenção na cidade de Laguna. A roleta tinha inscritas várias formas de torturar, como "20 segundos Manny Pacquiao", o que significava que o detido iria ser esmurrado durante 20 segundos, sem parar. Para os polícias, esta era uma forma de diversão. Por isso, a Amnistia Internacional fez um vídeo em forma de sátira, que vale a pena verem e partilharem:youtu.be/AyOkatD8kiU Na altura a descoberta chocou o mundo. O resultado? 10 polícias foram afastados do cargo. Nenhum foi levado a tribunal. Ficava uma vez mais provada a cultura de impunidade que caracteriza as Filipinas e que a Amnistia Internacional tem vindo a denunciar.
