3-D radar installed on Freedom variant LCS

Posted on by

HERNDON, Va., Oct. 28 (UPI) -- The U.S. subsidiary of Europe's Airbus Defense and Space has installed and put into operation a TRS-3D naval radar for the U.S. Navy's Littoral Combat Ship.

The radar was installed and integrated aboard the Milwaukee (LCS 5), the third Freedom variant LCS, under a contract from Lockheed Martin, the prime contractor for the vessel.

"The TRS-3D is the choice for ships with multi-mode radar requirements, as evidenced by it being a global market leader in its class," said Aaron Johnson, director of Sales and Marketing, at Airbus Defense and Space Inc.'s Communications, Intelligence, Security & Electronics division. "We're proud to support Lockheed Martin and the LCS program with our products."

The TRS-3D is a three-dimensional, multi-mode naval radar for surveillance, self-defense, gunfire support, and helicopter control. It automatically locates and tracks both air and sea targets.

Airbus Defense and Space Inc. said eight TRS-3D radars, are now in various stages of installation aboard Freedom variant ships.

The Milwaukee is still under construction and is expected to be delivered to the U.S. Navy next year.

Press Freedom in the 21st Century

Posted on by

Ahead of a special Newseum Institute event with Spiked magazines Free Speech NOW!, Nick Gillespie of Reason argues for the importance of press freedom in an interview with the magazine.

Gillespie, who will speak at Press Freedom in the 21st century Nov. 5 at the Newseum (RSVP here), defends press freedom on the grounds that all speech should be free. People have a right to free expression, and they have a right to free speech and free assembly. And that is what undergirds our press freedom. The press should have no rights that the average citizen does not have.

Gillespie has no time for those who blame the media for brainwashing people. Liberals will say Fox News, or Faux News as they call it, is programming people and inflaming passions among Tea Party wingnuts who bring their guns to church and shoot people on the way home from church before they watch the football. On the flipside, right-wingers will say that places like CNN stand for the Clinton News Network, or they used to in the 1990s. Or theyll say that NPR is a state-funded bastion of liberal and left-wing ideology.

So there is a common widespread transpartisan complaint, Gillespie continues, that the other side did not win whatever position they have fairly, but that they did it through mass brainwashing. And I guess, for me, the big takeaway is that the whole idea that the culture industry and the media brainwashes people is not only offensive its also deeply, deeply wrong and dismissive of the way that people actually make decisions about their politics and their ideology and about their everyday life.

People can explore the living history marking Marylanders' release from slavery.

"Man ignorant of history runs the risk of repeating it again," a Frederick Douglass reenactor said.

Words of Frederick Douglas echo through the Reginald Lewis Museum. Its a poignant message as Maryland prepares to celebrate freedom Jubilee 1864.

"As a border state, Maryland was not affected by the Emancipation Proclamation like many other border states," said Lisa Crawley, with the Reginald Lewis Museum.

On Nov. 1, 1864, slavery in Maryland would become history. Enticed by Washington, D.C.'s emancipation, men joining the Union Army, the old line state, turned to change.

"Slowly, but surely, the institution of slavery began losing its power," Crawley said.

It's a living celebration 150 years later, as Frederick Douglass comes alive at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Meyers Maritime Park. Will Henry "Box" Brown will also come alive at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture.

Freedom 4 a 'revolution' for medical testing

Posted on by

A New Zealand-made portable device could be the breakthrough health workers need in the global fight against Ebola.

Freedom 4 can do on-the-spot DNA tests for bacteria and viruses, without the need for samples to be taken back to a lab.

"The great advance is that this takes the laboratory to the patient, so instead of the specimen having to go off and you may have to wait a few days for a result, this means you could get a result within an hour," says Michael Baker of Otago University's Department of Public Health.

Dr Baker says researchers have been working on a prototype of the device for more than six years, and that it will most likely be ready for use next year.

"It needs to go through a lot of testing to make sure it's accurate, and there are a few technical issues to work through."

He says the technology could be a game-changer.

"Going into the future, this is the kind of technology that could really make a difference for testing for a lot of things - particularly in countries that have very poor resources.

"This really is a revolution for testing in that situation".

Freedom fighters appeal for poverty emancipation

File:A surviving freedom fighter Abel Mulenga sings song during the Commemoration of African Freedom Day in Kasama.

Freedom fighters in Shawangandu district of Muchinga province have called on Government to look into the plight of freedom fighters that are still alive and wallowing in poverty.

Chileshe Chali, a Shiwangandu-based freedom fighter, said most of the freedom fighters have remained poor because their livelihood base was destroyed by colonialists during the independence struggle.

Mr Chali further urged government to also consider the plight of surviving families of the fallen heroes who died in the course of fighting for independence so that the blood they shed would not have been spilt in vain.

He was speaking on behalf of other freedom fighters at the commemoration of the Golden Jubilee independence anniversary on Friday.

The event was celebrated under the theme Commemorating God`s favour of Zambia 50 years of Independence for continued Peace, Unity, Patriotism and prosperity.

Mr Chali, however, appreciated government for fulfilling desires that the freedom fighters had of public services such as abundant schools and health institutions country wide once the country got independence.

The Golden Jubilee event was officiated by Shiwang`andu Member of Parliament (MP) Stephen Kampyongo.

Mr Kampyongo said it is gratifying to see that the Zambian economy has continued to register positive growth rate over the past 50 years.

Caitlyn Rowe, 13 of New Freedom, and Alyssa Schaefers, 13 of Railroad, arrange cotton batting to resemble a spiderweb in the woods just off the Heritage Rail Trail in New Freedom on Saturday. For the fourth consecutive year, the New Freedom Recreation Council and a band of local teenagers created a "haunted" portion of the Heritage Rail Trail involving props and costumes.

Brianna Anderson is enrolled at HACC and hopes to one day become a doctor.

But on Saturday night the 20-year-old from New Freedom became a ghostly tour guide, leading groups of people looking for a Halloween scare down a stretch of the rail trail near the train station in New Freedom.

"Most of the things I do, I do because she volunteers me," Anderson said, nodding toward her mother, Dorothy Anderson.

A couple years ago, Dorothy Anderson heard about a Halloween event for teenagers that was being organized by the New Freedom Recreation Council.

"The kids, they were talking about going down to the rail trail," Dorothy Anderson said. "I thought, this sounds like fun, this sounds so cool. We wanted to be a part of it."

Emily said she loves horror movies and haunted attractions, and having a haunted event in New Freedom was convenient. (Chris Dunn Daily Record/Sunday News)

A friend from HOPE, Help for Oncology Problems & Emotional Support, told Dorothy Anderson more about the event, and put her in touch with the organizers.
