Protego project is a PIC-based missile control system that was developed by Raytheon The system is installed on-board a Pratt & Whitney aircraft (PWA) equipped with missile launch systems (air-to-air and/or air-to-ground) Protego consists of separate micro-controller units that exchange data and signals over encrypted and authenticated channels: On-board TWA are the Master Processor (MP) and the Deployment Box Both systems are layed-out with master/slave redundancy The missle system has micro-controllers for the missle itself (Missle Smart Switch -MSS) the tube (Tube Smart Switch -TSS) and the collar (which holds the missile before and at launch time) The MP unit receives three signals from a beacon: In Border (PWA is within the defined area of an operation), Valid GPS (GPS signal available) and No End of Operational Period (current time is within the defined timeframe for an operation) Missiles can only be launched if all signals received by MP are set to true Similary safeguards are in place to auto-destruct encryption and authentication keys for various scenarios (like leaving a target area of operation or missing missle)

🚨#BREAKING: A Critical NOTAM Warning has been Issued for Kwajalein Atoll saying Hazardous Area with Potential for Loss of Life Cautioned to Avoid Extreme Radiation Hazards 📌#Kwajalein | #MarshallIslands A critical NOTAM warning has been issued to airmen for Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The notice states: "Attention to all aircraft operating in the vicinity of Kwajalein Atoll. For your safety, overflight of the island north of the runway is prohibited due to hazardous conditions that pose a potential risk to life. All arrivals and departures must follow south traffic only to avoid extreme radiation hazards. Please contact base operations on 126.2 within 50 nautical miles of Kwajalein AAF. Ensure you contact base ops prior to departure to deconflict with radiation hazards. The exact reason is currently unknown at this time but this could be likely a military testing or possible radar feed

In 2007, GTRI's Integrated Defensive Avionics Software (IDAS) provided a proven correlation and threat response capability, complementing the core electronic warfare functions of the radar warning, missile warning and countermeasures systems. #Celebrating90YearsofInnovationandImpact

July 15 U.S. Central Command Update In the past 24 hours, U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) forces successfully destroyed five Iranian-backed Houthi uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV), three over the Red Sea and two over Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. It was determined these UAVs presented an imminent threat to U.S., coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region. These actions were taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure. Additionally, Iranian-backed Houthis launched multiple attacks against MT Bentley I, a Panama-flagged, Israel-owned, Monaco-operated tanker vessel in the Red Sea carrying vegetable oil from Russia to China. Iranian-backed Houthis used three surface vessels in this attack, one uncrewed surface vessel (USV) and two small boats. No damage or injuries have been reported at this time. Later, Iranian-backed Houthis launched an anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) from a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen, over the Red Sea toward MT Bentley I. No damage or injuries have been reported at this time. Separately, Iranian-backed Houthis attacked MT Chios Lion, a Liberian-flagged, Marshall Islands-owned, Greek-operated crude oil tanker with a USV in the Red Sea. The USV caused damage, but MT Chios Lion has not requested assistance. No injuries have been reported at this time. This continued reckless behavior by the Iranian-backed Houthis threatens regional stability and endangers the lives of mariners across the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The Houthis claim to be acting on behalf of Palestinians in Gaza and yet they are targeting and threatening the lives of third country nationals who have nothing to do with the conflict in Gaza. USCENTCOM will continue to act with partners to hold the Houthis accountable and degrade their military capabilities. https://ow.ly/LHzL50SBYrS
