The desire to create air portable armoured vehicles that can still take on conventional MBTs has usually resulted ATGM armed light vehicles or in protected / armoured / mobile gun system style vehicles in which a lack of armour protection being in part offset by the provision of a first look / first hit / first kill capability through the mating of a powerful gun to superior targeting electronics, a concept similar in operation to that of the US tank destroyers of WWII.

The AIM-54 / AWG-9 combination was the first to have multiple track capability ( up to 24 targets ) and launch ( up to 6 Phoenixes can be launched nearly simultaneously ); the large missile is equipped with a conventional warhead.

He faced a strategic situation where the U. S. was perceived to have a “ splendid first strike ” capability against the Soviet Union.

The launch of the first four in-orbit validation ( IOV ) satellites was planned for the 2nd half of 2011, while the launch of full operational capability ( FOC ) satellites is planned to start in late 2012.

Lower-case capability and possibility of dead keys, at first a simple RPQ ( Request Price Quotation, tailored on request at extra cost ) was only added in 3278 & 3279 models.

In the first years 2000, the initial ASE capability was expanded with the possibility to run, thanks to the new hardware power, multiple site emulators on the same hardware, so the system was renamed into Multi-AEGIS Site Emulator ( MASE ).

The Michigan Terminal System ( MTS ), in 1967, supported user space drivers ( including its file system support ), the first operating system to be designed with that capability.

The first element is important because the directors have the capability to act as effective and active bargaining agents, which disaggregated stockholders do not.

The first two five-year economic development plans were successful, and the 3rd and 4th five-year plans focused on expanding the heavy and chemical industries, raising the capability for steel production and oil refining.

The first stage of the Titan II had the mass ratio required for single-stage-to-orbit capability with a small payload.

In fact, the hardware and software of the company's real-time capability was used in other fields completely remote to music, such as the main Dartmouth College campus computing node computers for one of the nation's first campus-wide computing networks, and in medical data acquisition research projects.

The expectation of very limited enemy indirect fire capability meant that only a single 120mm mortar was brought in the first wave.

This was the first time this capability had been used for a live combat mission.

Versions after its first release in 1984 added instantaneous updating of page numbering and reference numbers through multi-chapter and multi-volumes sets, increased graphics capabilities, automatic index and table of content generation, hyphenation, equations, " microdocuments " that recursively allowed fully functional whole document elements to be embedded in any document, and the ability to program any element of a document ( a capability the company called " Active Documents ").

First-strike attack, the use of a nuclear first strike capability, was greatly feared during the Cold War between NATO and the Soviet Bloc.

In McNamara's formulation, MAD meant that nuclear nations either had first strike or second strike capability.

A nation with first strike capability

According to McNamara, the arms race was in part an attempt to make sure that no nation gained first strike capability.

An early form of second strike capability had already been provided by the use of continual patrols of nuclear-equipped bombers, with a fixed number of planes always in the air ( and therefore untouchable by a first strike ) at any given time.

Ballistic missile submarines established a second strike capability through their stealth and by the number fielded by each Cold War adversary — it was highly unlikely that all of them could be targeted and preemptively destroyed ( in contrast to, for example, a missile silo with a fixed location that could be targeted during a first strike ).

If America had a guarantee against Soviet nuclear attacks, its critics argued, it would have first strike capability which would have been a politically and militarily destabilizing position.

A viable first strike capability would require the ability to launch a 100 % effective ( or nearly so ) counterforce attack.

Even the knowledge that she was losing another boy, as a mother always does when a marriage is made, did not prevent her from having the first carefree, dreamless sleep that she had known since they dropped down the canyon and into Bear Valley, way, way back there when they were crossing those other mountains.

Why, in the first place, call himself a liberal if he is against laissez-faire and favors an authoritarian central government with womb-to-tomb controls over everybody??

Life is further characterized, in antithesis to Piepsam, as animal: the image of a dog, which appears at several places, is first given as the criterion of amiable, irrelevant interest aroused by life considered simply as a spectacle: a dog in a wagon is `` admirable '', `` a pleasure to contemplate '' ; ;

In the first instance, `` mimesis '' is here used to mean the recalling of experience in terms of vivid images rather than in terms of abstract ideas or conventional designations.

This is the primary function of the imagination operating in the absence of the original experiential stimulus by which the images were first appropriated.

The first half of The Charles Men, ending on the climax of the battle of Poltava in 1709, is more dramatically coherent than the second.

He is, first and foremost, a defender of public morals, a servant of society.

The first of two possible variations on this theme is symbolized by Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer.

Noting such evidence is the first step ; ;

So it is that we relive his opening statement in the first television address with the dramatic immediacy of the present.

and it is surely clear that the first of these is the result of the way in which the individual's command of language interacts with the other two.

The first thing to do is get her some money by a temporary but definite adjustment pending a final disposition of the case.

At this point a working definition of idea is in order, although our first definition will have to be qualified somewhat as we proceed.

`` History has this in common with every other science: that the historian is not allowed to claim any single piece of knowledge, except where he can justify his claim by exhibiting to himself in the first place, and secondly to any one else who is both able and willing to follow his demonstration, the grounds upon which it is based.

We saw it frequently afterward, but our suggestion for the very first encounter is near sunset.

Master Gorton, having foully abused high and low at Aquidneck is now bewitching and bemaddening poor Providence, both with his unclean and foul censures of all the ministers of this country ( for which myself have in Christ's name withstood him ), and also denying all visible and external ordinances in depth of Familism: almost all suck in his poison, as at first they did at Aquidneck.
