For example, office supplies may be used by individuals engaged in written communications, record-keeping and bookkeeping. The range of items classified as office supplies varies, and typically includes small, expendable, daily use items, and consumable products. [3]
The Model 437 first began as a loyal wingman drone in 2021, based on Scaled Composites earlier Model 401. [6] A key aspect of the program was the exploration of an "attritable aircraft", in which aircraft cost is minimized to effectively provide a semi-expendable package, which can be easily replaced.
The one-way nature of the missions meant that they were treated as semi-expendable leading to construction from common and inexpensive materials such as wood. Most nations seriously attempted to recover as many as possible, to re-use them, so they were not originally intended to be disposable, although resource-rich nations like the US ...
Cost appropriate for expendable one-time use [according to whom?] Yes Yes No, but high cost allows for higher-quality platform Recovery possible after launch No Usually no Yes, typical mission profile is round-trip Built-in warhead Yes Yes No Stealthy final dive to target Usually yes Usually yes Usually no Loitering No or limited Yes Usually yes
A modified die casting machine is used to inject the semi-solid slurry into reusable hardened steel dies. The high viscosity of the semi-solid metal, along with the use of controlled die filling conditions, ensures that the semi-solid metal fills the die in a non-turbulent manner so that harmful porosity can be essentially eliminated.
Soft-kill measures can be divided into on-board countermeasures, such as dazzlers, which are fixed to the platform and expendable countermeasures, such as smoke grenades, which are ejected upon use. Soft-kill measures may be used preemptively, but are more commonly employed in reaction to detected threats.
The Meaning Behind the Semicolon Tattoo. As Bleuel noted, the semicolon tattoo signifies “your story isn’t over.” However, the semicolon design has expanded to offer further nuanced meaning.
Man-portable anti-tank systems (MANPATS or MPATS) are traditionally portable shoulder-launched projectile systems firing heavy shell-type projectiles (although throwing and lunge weapons have existed), typically designed to combat protected targets, such as armoured vehicles, field fortifications and at times even low-flying aircraft (especially helicopters).
