Abstract 125 Training and use AIR DEFENCE ENGLISH DICTIONARY In this article we intend to gather the most widely-used acron-yms and terms in Air Defence, and their translation into Spanish. THE 155 MM EXCALIBUR PROJECTILE In this article we present the technical features of the M982 Excalibur projectile, the way to handle it so that it is ready to be fired, its trajectory description, its capabilities, and finally we reach some conclusions and introduce a potential alternative. Technique and Research “DEDA” DATA LINK DEVICE Nowadays, data transmission between the Fire Director Centre and howitzers is still done by voice via radio. Adding Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) to howitzers is yet far from brought to completion, and will not probably be in the short term due to the high cost of those devices. The Artillery data transmitter device (DEDA) is believed to be a reliable and economical solution for this task. Using free use hardware reduces cost comparing with commercialised systems, and it allows updating by the user, which finally ends in free, conti-nuous and effective system improvements. History FLOMESTA, THE HERO OF ABARRAN In this article we highlight the biography of Lieutenant Flomesta, one of the most important artillery heroes in our history, as well as the events that took place in the defence of Mount Abarran, where he met his death.
