Re: Ajax Armoured Vehicles (British Army)

Avoiding vibration injuries cannot be just addressed by headsets the contact point of the vibration may be from the floor to the feet from the uninsulated seat, from contact points to the hands https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/83-110/default.html https://www.healthyworkinglives.scot/workplace-guidance...

Re: Ajax Armoured Vehicles (British Army)

Did someone really believe that vibration could be addressed with superior headsets, There are a number of N.A.T.O studies going back over twenty years detailing the issues of vibration in vehicles,I have deleted my previous connection so members can do their own research .

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion

I'm afraid you have a few things mixed up. It is the location of the Sampson radar on the T45s that provides an advantage, not that of the S1850. But that advantage is for sea-skimming anti-ship missiles, not ballistic missiles. I appreciate the correction but my basic question remains can a sensor ...

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion

I am not an expert on the various radars of naval ships I understand that the height placement of the S1850 on the Darings provides some advantage over other radars that are sited lower on their vessels so there is the likelihood that the carriers again being much higher than the escorts and perhaps...
