Hill Aerospace Museum
The Minuteman Program
The LCC console and equipment here at the Hill Aerospace Museum came from Missouri's Whiteman AFB, and was used by the 510th Strategic Missile Squadron between the 1960s and early 1990s.
---------------------
A product of the Cold War and the developing strategy of nuclear deterrence, the U.S. Air Force's Minuteman program started in 1962 with the LGM 30 Minuteman I. This weapon system was the United States first land-based Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) to use solid fuel rather than liquid, allowing it to be launch-ready at all times-much like the legendary minutemen of the Revolutionary War. Immediate strike capability permitted the United States to execute a counterattack in the event of a nuclear strike.
Since its Introduction, the Minuteman has undergone several updates, with the Minuteman III in use today as the country's only land-based ICBM. At each stage of the Minuteman's life, Hill Air Force Base has been and continues to be a part of the production, management, maintenance, and overhaul of this platform. Listed below are some of the major Minuteman III support missions that exist on HilI AFB:
Minuteman III Systems Directorate, formerly the ICBM Systems Directorate and assigned to the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, is responsible for "cradle-to-grave” systems management-to include acquisition, fleet administration, storage and transportation, equipment replacement, and systems modification direction. Overall, this unit focuses on maintaining the operational readiness of the aging Minuteman III system.
Little Mountain Test Facility is a state-of-the-art laboratory dedicated to simulation testing of nuclear hardness, survivability, reliability and electromagnetic compatibility of defense systems. The 1,000-acre facility is located 15 miles west of Ogden on 12th Street, near the Great Salt Lake.
Strategic Missile Integration Complex conducts system-level testing and integration. It consists of a fully configured Minuteman III silo and launch control center. Here, Minuteman IIl hardware or software is tested prior to fielding at operational units.
309th Missile Maintenance Group tests, maintains and modernizes Minuteman III systems on the Installation and at missile sites across the country, Efforts Include work conducted on support vehicles, silos, launch control centers, missiles, and more. Direction for this work is provided by the Minuteman III Systems Directorate.
Launch Control Center
Providing launch capabilities for a flight of ICBMS and buried thirty feet below the surface is the Launch Control Center (LCC). The LCC is the epicenter for monitoring and control of Minuteman ICBMs. Each LCC is responsible for a minimum of 10 missiles, but can monitor and launch up to 50. Every LCC is on continuous 24/7 alert and manned with Air Force personnel. A typical shift for the two-officer crew in an LCC lasts 24 hours, however, it is not uncommon for the launch crews to stay manned at their LCC for 48-72 hours at a time.
Besides monitoring Minuteman missiles, LCC Crews are also responsible for monitoring strategic communications and encoded messages. They write down each encoded message and decode it to determine if it is a launch order or an exercise. In the event they receive a launch order, the crews begin launch procedures and can deploy their ICBMs in a matter of minutes.

University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto joined the president of the UK Student Development Council, Jonathon Nunley, Kentucky Historical Society Marker Program Coordinator Becky Riddle and others April 15 in dedicating the latest addition to the Live Blue Legacy historical marker program. The marker is made possible through donations from members of the Class of 2012.
This historical highway marker, the 19th in a series, pays tribute to UK student traditions dating back more than 100 years.
An early rivalry between freshman and sophomore classes on the UK campuses was the annual 'Flag Rush' competition where one class would defend their flag from being captured by a rush of competitors.
Replacing the flag rush in 1913 was the 'Tug of War' across Clifton Pond. Students were granted a half-holiday for the annual drenching, and crowds could reach more than 2,000 for the event.
The dedication ceremony and unveiling of the marker took place at a site located near the William T. Young Library on the UK campus. A reception followed.
Since 1994, the Live Blue Legacy Program has supported the placement of Kentucky Historical Society Highway Markers across the UK campus. The Live Blue Legacy Program is administered by the Student Development Council, whose members solicit gifts from members of the graduating class, in this case the Class of 2012. These funds are used to purchase, install and dedicate a marker in the name of that particular class.
Took a day off. Was very tired. Now I'm studying Python (a great programming language) from a book that I recommend a lot: A concise introduction to programming in Python by Mak J Johnson. Look what you can do with Python - and easily! I modified a book listing - it's very easy and very short.

Um marco estratégico do Programa Gripen para o Brasil foi alcançado na cidade de Porto Alegre (RS), no dia 15 de setembro de 2017.
Naquela data, a contratada AEL Sistemas* (AEL) entregou à contratante Saab, com sucesso e dentro do cronograma, o primeiro protótipo "Modelo B" (WAD #2) do display panorâmico Wide Area Display (WAD) para o novo jato de combate brasileiro. World Defense News registrou essa entrega histórica.
Cabine de 5ª geração "Made in Brazil"
Em fevereiro de 2015, a Saab anunciava a seleção da AEL como nova fornecedora no Brasil, habilitada para receber uma ampla transferência de tecnologia. A empresa foi selecionada para fornecer o Wide Area Display (WAD), o Head-Up Display (HUD) e o Helmet Mounted Display (HMD), que serão integrados ao Gripen para o Brasil como parte do contrato F-X2.
Em 2 de setembro de 2015, a AEL entregou à Saab, também dentro do cronograma, os primeiros protótipos "Modelo A" das unidades do WAD para o Gripen brasileiro. Em maio de 2016, a AEL anunciou a entrega, com sucesso, da aplicação de Interface Homem-Máquina (Human-Machine Interface – HMI) para o WAD, uma versão preliminar de software que demonstra os conceitos de HMI da Saab para o futuro WAD. Em 2017, mantendo o cronograma de desenvolvimento da Saab, a AEL está entregando o Modelo B.
O WAD é um sistema inteligente com tela panorâmica (19 x 8 in) de alta resolução, que permite exibir uma imagem contínua e redundante em toda a sua extensão, e é capaz de receber entradas de teclas multifuncionais, comandos touchscreen ou interfaces externas. É a principal fonte de todas as informações de voo e missão na cabine de piloto.
Em conjunto com o capacete designador de alvos HMD TARGO e o Head-Up Display, o WAD forma uma avançadíssima interface homem máquina (HMI) que só conhece similar na que está sendo desenvolvida para o caça stealth Lockheed F-35 JSF.
O WAD #2
Trata-se do protótipo com mecânica e hardware finais para uso em laboratório, simulador e aeronave (no solo), o que permitirá à Saab dar continuidade às atividades de desenvolvimento de software e sistemas até a entrega do primeiro WAD para instalação em uma aeronave para uso operacional em serviço.
Para que isso aconteça dentro dos prazos planejados, uma extensa campanha de testes em voo deverá utilizar protótipo Modelo C, previsto para ser entregue em 2018, em estreita cooperação entre a AEL e a Saab, em Linköping, na Suécia.
"Estamos orgulhosos de entregar os protótipos dentro do cronograma e com qualidade, permitindo que os engenheiros da Saab avancem no trabalho de integração para a aeronave. Este fato evidencia o compromisso da AEL com a Saab e a Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB) para fornecer a próxima geração de cockpit para a próxima geração de caças", afirma Sérgio Horta, presidente da AEL.
“Este é um passo muito importante no desenvolvimento do Gripen para o Brasil. Demonstra uma cooperação muito eficaz entre a AEL e a Saab e é mais uma etapa de sucesso na cooperação industrial entre as empresas brasileiras no programa Gripen", diz Mikael Franzén, chefe da unidade Gripen Brasil na Área de Negócios Aeronáuticos da Saab.
Um programa que cumpre prazos
O programa de desenvolvimento do WAD começou em janeiro de 2015. O novo programa de sistemas aviônicos para a aeronave está planejado para ser executado ao longo de cinco anos e inclui o desenvolvimento, a integração e o trabalho de produção, que serão realizados em Porto Alegre (RS), na sede da AEL. A integração do WAD com a aeronave será feita pela Saab e pela Embraer, com o suporte da AEL.
Como parte do programa WAD, está em curso uma intensa transferência de tecnologia para a AEL, permitindo à empresa gaúcha desenvolver competências anteriormente inexistentes e colocando-a na vanguarda da tecnologia em displays panorâmicos. Um escopo adicional tem ocorrido no desenvolvimento da interface Homem-Máquina (HMI) para os avançados caças, juntamente com a capacidade de realizar manutenção de aviônicos.
* A AEL Sistemas é uma empresa brasileira, situada em Porto Alegre, que há 35 anos dedica-se a projeto, desenvolvimento, fabricação, manutenção e suporte logístico de avançados sistemas eletrônicos, com foco nos mercados aeroespacial, de defesa e de segurança pública. Capacitada para o fornecimento, projeto e desenvolvimento de aviônicos, optrônicos, sistemas de comunicação, sistemas espaciais, ARP (aeronaves Remotamente Pilotadas) e simuladores. A empresa participa de projetos estratégicos das Forças Armadas Brasileiras como Gripen, KC-390, Guarani e SISFRON - Sistema Integrado de Monitoramento de Fronteiras.
