Training and use Abstract 127 TALOS SYSTEM LINK-UP CAPABILITIES The implementation of TALOS as the Fire Support Command and Control System of Field Artillery Units has meant a substantial improvement in Operations planning, coordination and execution. This system is supported with some link-up means that allow us to adapt to the wide variety of scenarios that we can find nowadays. RADAR TRENDS IN COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS: MULTIFUNCTION RADAR This article deals with the current trends radar technology is towards, specifically those applied to the artillery, it describes the state-of-the-art models of those radars, the way to operate them and their capabilities. These future trends are a combination of low cost technologies based on solid state array modules, with the implementation of MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits), wideband analogical-digital converters, adaptive signal generators, etc., which will allow a wide range of operational modes and other types of radars to appear. Technique and Research CRYPTOGRAPHY: A VERY POWERFUL WEAPON In an armed conflict, it is very important to know as much as possible about the enemy, but it is also equally important to be absolutely certain that the enemy does not know anything about us. That is why there has been a wide development of the art of writing coded messages to protect information confidentiality, integrity and authenticity, known as cryptography (from the Greek words “Kriptos”, hidden, and “graphos”, writing), which, together with the crypto analysis, or science devoted to decode and have access to protected information, and with the steganography, or science that conceals messages to prevent their detection, make the mathematical branch of cryptology, the basis of the technical platoons of Information Services. COMPARISON OF PERFORMANCE BETWEEN FIXED (PLANE) AND ROTARY WING (HELICOPTER) UNMANNED AIR VEHICLES In this article we will show the typical features of rotary wing unmanned air vehicles (helicopters). We will include details of several systems, some of them made in Europe and The United States, and some others made in Spain. We will also look into their performance and we will compare fixed wing vehicles (plane-type) with the ones with rotary wing. Furthermore, we will analyze a mission profile in support of field artillery, and we will determine the requirements of an unmanned vehicle to accomplish that mission.
