In a two-page notification to Congress, the State Department said that upgrading the avionics, targeting and radar systems of Pakistan's older F-16s would "increase the survivability of the aircraft in a hostile environment" and make the "F-16s a more valuable counterterrorism asset that operates safely during day and night operations".
Measures like vastly improved helmets, HANS neck-protecting devices and trackside medical teams with rapid access to trauma specialists and medevac helicopters – unknown to the drivers who first faced Spa's challenges in the 1920s – have increased the survivability of crashes.
Signature management is one way of increasing the survivability by improving the ability to avoid detection.
Thus, the model is useful for evaluating conservation actions for increasing the survivability of shorebirds in Florida.
The results demonstrate that properly designed window frame and interlayer anchorage will increase the survivability of laminated glass windows under blast loadings.
This research shows that ANNs are capable of recognizing failed descent trajectories and can significantly increase the survivability of MSL for very dispersed cases.
All of these systems, plus medical support and field hospital equipment, are on the list of Ukrainian requests for support, to increase the survivability of their forces when confronting new Russian military equipment.
The thermoplastic elastomer polyurethane and the elastomeric thermoset polyurea are finding new applications in increasing the survivability of structures under impact loading, including those encountered in blast and ballistic events.
To increase the survivability, while retaining the same operational draft of TBW, pressure-relief channel (PRC), a novel scheme that allowed water to flow through TBW was modeled and its effectiveness in extreme-waves was demonstrated computationally.
