safety against terrorist attacks (CATSA Review, 2015). The Government will provide $1.5billion over five years to CATSA (CATSA Review, 2015). This will provide airports with improved x-ray technology and ct scanners, new body scanners, and explosive detection. The same source provides the improvement and increased size of screening officers in Canada. In 2003 there were only 3,300 screening officers, and in 2009 there are 6,000 screening officers. With the increase in size of the authority in…

mine countermeasures are generally about self-protection which includes acoustic silencing, magnetic delousing, avoiding detection. Active mine countermeasures are the measures set in place to deal with one mine at a time accordingly. Such measures include mine hunting in which mines are detected and classified with hunting sonars and magnetometers and disabled with an explosive charge. Another example of active countermeasures is a mechanical minesweeping. This is the process of cutting the…

A Radiological Dispersion Device, often referred to as an RDD or “dirty bomb”, contains conventional explosives (such as dynamite) and radioactive material. The intention is to spread radioactive material over a large area. RDDs are not a new idea. The military considered creating such devices in 1941. Dirty bombs are no longer considered practical for military applications and are now considered terrorist weapons (The Facts about “Dirty Bombs”, 2005, pg. 4). Radioactive materials are…

Although writer Douglas Adams may have envisioned flying as “learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss”, Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Cunningham foresaw the future of the US Navy. Since the introduction of the Wright Brother’s Military flyer in 1909, aircraft have revolutionized the art of war, allowing warfare to transcend the ground and sea. Modern US Naval Aviation, currently boasting over 3,700 operational aircraft, owes its origins to Lt. Col. Alfred Cunningham, who was among the…
