• In tune with Csar radios: downed pilots or aircrew and compromised special forces units have one thing in common - the need for fast, efficient and covert rescue. To facilitate this, dedicated radios tuned to specific frequencies give those in need a lifeline to combat search and rescue co-ordinators.

Combat rescue teams are rather particular about their communication gear - it has often been said that rescue personnel have no preference about 'how'...

• Combat search and rescue: the United States Air Force has written the book on combat search and rescue (Csar). The Pentagon's current rethink is only the latest chapter in a long story of budgetary feasts and famines, and hard-won operational lessons being forgotten and expensively relearned.

In May 2009 Ashton Carter, the Pentagon's Under Secretary for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, formally cancelled the US Air Force's $ 15 billio...

• How to Get the Best Out of the Wto and How to Avoid the Pitfalls: New Publications Point the Way

Books on the WTO have been rolling off the presses around the globe this past year, the organization's tenth anniversary, as any Internet search will show. Some are critical, some anecdotal and some impenetrably analytical. Few provide the insight on practical experience in negotiating entry and on drawing maximum advantage from membership that developing country diplomats and negotiators, business groups, individual firms, civil society bodies and even academics and specialist journalists often say they need. The studies show, the editors say, that joining the WTO and taking advantage of WTO membership is not something that can be left to governments alone. Success, as these and other cases show, is best guaranteed by involving all stakeholders in a single economy. Developing countries...

There are certainly easier ways to make a living.

The hut in Uto was built in 1918 for the modest sum of SFr 28,000. Its namesake, Prof. Albert Heim (1849-1937), was an honourary member of the club, a...

• Search, find, report and (maybe) strike! Weary of dependence on assets owned by the US services (and on their willingness to share information), the leading Euro-Nato nations are now taking action to develop and procure independent means of ground surveillance and battlefield management. Rather than aiming for Nato-wide equipment commonality, the watchword now is interoperability.

The sensor platform options under consideration include manned and unmanned systems, certainly to be used in a combination `system of systems', and pr...
