The mission of the 23d Wing is to organize, train and employ combat-ready A-10, HC-130P / N Combat King and HH-60 Pave Hawk aircraft and flight crews, as well as pararescuemen and force protection assets.

Tenant military activities include the 129th Rescue Wing of the California Air National Guard, operating the HC-130P Hercules ( Combat King ), MC-130P Combat Shadow and HH-60G Pave Hawk aircraft, as well as the adjacent Headquarters for the 7th Psychological Operations Group of the U. S. Army Reserve.

* Pave Pillar-Generic core avionics architecture system for combat aircraft.

Pave or PAVE is sometimes used as an acronym for precision avionics vectoring equipment ; literally, electronics for controlling the speed and direction of aircraft.

Pave, paired with other words, also names laser systems that designate targets for LGBs, for example Pave Penny, Pave Spike, Pave Tack and Pave Knife, and for specialized military aircraft, such as AC-130U Pave Spectre, MH-53 Pave Low, and HH-60 Pave Hawk.

With F-15 fighters, KC-135 refuelers, E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft, and HH-60G Pave Hawk rescue helicopters, the 18th represents a major combat presence and capability in the Western Pacific.

The 58 SOW operates the MC-130H Combat Talon II and MC-130P Combat Shadow, HC-130 King, UH-1N Huey, HH-60G Pave Hawk and CV-22 Osprey aircraft.

This aircraft holds a distinctive place in the Air Force's history, having served as the prototype for the Pave Low III program.

The Lockheed Martin AN / AAS-35 ( V ) Pave Penny is a laser spot tracker carried by US Air Force attack aircraft and fighter-bombers to enable them to track a laser spot on the ground ( it does not produce a laser beam itself, so the aircraft cannot launch and guide laser-guided bombs against ground targets without additional hardware ).

Unlike the LRMTS ( laser ranger and marked target seeker ) systems common to European aircraft, or the more sophisticated ASQ-228 ATFLIR, TIALD, and LANTIRN designators, Pave Penny does not contain a laser.

Pave Penny can recognize specific laser designation signals based on pre-determined four-digit codes encoded into the laser pulse, allowing it to seek out particular targets and ignore others ( to avoid, for example, several aircraft hitting the same target ).

The Pave Penny pod was used by USAF A-7D Corsair II aircraft, fuselage-mounted beneath the engine intake, and the A-10 Thunderbolt II, mounted on an external pylon designed specifically for the pod ( see photo top right ).

The Ford Aerospace AN / AVQ-26 Pave Tack is an electro-optical targeting pod developed by the United States Air Force ( USAF ) for military attack aircraft.

Pave Tack was developed in the late 1970s, and was initially used by the USAF McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II and General Dynamics F-111F Aardvark strike aircraft.

Pave Knife was used by F-4 Phantom II and A-6 Intruder aircraft in the attack role.

Aircrews assigned to fly the C-130 train at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas, while aircrews assigned to fly MC-130 Combat Talon I / II, Combat Shadow, and HC-130 aircraft will take initial follow-on training at Little Rock followed by additional follow-on training at a colocated site with UH-1N Twin Huey and HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter crews and CV-22 Osprey tiltrotor crews at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico.

The USAF Combat Rescue School, established in 1993, provided HH-60 Pave Hawk instructional flying for air rescue missions.

* Pave Mover-Demonstration program to develop the AN / APY-7 radar wide-area surveillance, ground moving target indicator ( GMTI ), fixed target indicator ( FTI ) target classification, and synthetic aperture radar ( SAR ), for the E-8 Joint STARS.

This culminated in December 1990, with Operation Night Camel in which air crews of the F-111 evaluated the ability of aircraft to use guided munitions with the LANTIRN and Pave Tack target designation systems from medium altitude.

The simplest spot trackers ( like the Pave Penny pod ) have no laser at all, just a laser sensor.

A special conference of scholars on Pius XII on the 50th anniversary of his death was held in Rome on 15 – 17 September 2008, by Pave the Way Foundation, a nonsectarian organization founded by Gary Krupp, a Jewish American, which promotes interfaith cooperation.

On 16 June 2009, the Pave the Way Foundation announced that it would release of 2, 300 pages of documents in Avellino, Italy, dating from 1940 to 1945, which the organization claims show that Pius XII " worked diligently to save Jews from Nazi tyranny "; the organization's founder, Krupp has accused historians of harboring " private agendas " and having " let down " the public.

On 17 September 2009, Pave the Way Foundation nominated Pius XII to be listed as Righteous Among the Nations at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial.
