EADS in the USA DOD and HS Market

March 23, 2009

Analysis of:EADS still eyeing smaller U.S. buys | www.reuters.com

It is evident that EADS needs to acquire USA DOD industrial strength in the USA independent of the result of their AF tanker program proposed aircraft competition with Boeing. BAE has gained a strong role in the USA as one of the top DOD electroincs and system suppliers as has Italy's  Finmecanica made a major penetration with the DRS Technologies acquisition. I believe UAV systems and avionics represent a growing market for them to consider an acquistion like Axsys, FLIR or other UAV avionic players.

"All of the Above" Policy for Oil Exploration and Development, Dr. S.B. Alterman

Analysis of:What's so bad about foreign oil? | www.latimes.com

Let's consider some interesting information on drilling for oil and allowing oil shale leases.  In my opinion, we need an “all of the above” strategy to energy with the goal to make US independent of foreign energy sources as soon as possible.  This includes, conservation, CAFÉ standards, solar, wind, research into new technologies, drilling (including off-shore), oil shale, and clean coil conversion.  We need the equivalent of JFK’s 10 year goal for a man on the moon, with a 10 year goal for energy independence.  It seems like many of our politicians are beholden to environmental ideologues who misuse information to achieve their own narrow objectives and ignore the strategic implications and hidden costs of our energy dependence on unstable sources of supply. Visualize the USA, in 10 years time, being independent of ALL foreign energy sources. We will focus be able to focus on the problems of anti-terrorism, health care, democratization, food supplies and clean environments.

Analysis of:Optical Waves Wash Photons Aside | stanleyalterman.blogspot.com

100 years after the birth of the "photon" some bright ex-Disney scientists at Creative Technologyare intent on demonstrating that Einstein’s instincts regarding the wave properties of light will lead to fundamental technology insights and a host of revolutionary optical products. C-Tech is currently designing lensless, filterless cameras capable of accurate and ultra-sensitive spectral imaging on a pixel level via lightwave phased arrays and light engines generating true color for filterless displays and hyper-accurate, extremely rapid spectrometry. Their technology can reduce the size, weight and power consumption of a whole generation of optical and UV devices needed by the military, homeland security and the health industry for a whole range of functions.

Social Media and WEB 2.0. While you became mesmerized by MySpace, YouTube and Google, KICKAPPS appeared!

Analysis of:Social Media and Web 2.0 | stanleyalterman.blogspot.com

The government, especially every branch of the military, large corporations with a message and image, educational institutions, religious organizations, organizations of all sorts, and a host of other community Website needs to offer effective alternatives to websites like MySpace where students, customers, employees, parishioners, club members, servicemen, their families and government employees can participate in social networking where there can be levels of moderation and reporting that more properly balance the virtues of security, privacy and openness.
