Innovative NetCentric Laser Guided Weapon Systems at Eurosatory IAI/MBT Missiles Division will present its family of laser guided weapons and will introduce an advanced operational concept for network-centric laser guided warfare at Eurosatory 2008 (Paris, France). MBT's laser guided weapons enable ground forces to engage targets effectively, employing a variety of weapons/warheads and launch platforms, covering large areas. The operational concept, currently under evaluation by several armies, enables infantry and mechanized forces, equipped with laser designators and sophisticated C2 systems, to call up, "on demand", an appropriate weapon from automatically allocated remote launchers. A similar system concept is used for borders and bases protection from mortars and rockets attacks and insurgents' penetration. Electro-optic payloads, fixed on towers, deployed in the field or in the air, perform targets detection, identification and designation. The targets are rapidly and accurately engaged by laser guided missiles fired from remote, unmanned launchers. This capability transforms the fighter, or the observation sensor, into a formidable weapon system, seamlessly engaging targets with appropriate weapons in a timely manner. Laser guided weapons provide forces with accurate, cost-effective fire, with robust, simple operation. IAI's laser guided munitions cover a wide set of targets and scenarios: LAHAT Lightweight, 8 km range missile, launched from a variety of platforms, including vehicles, helicopters, tanks and fixed launchers. Fitted with 2.5 kg anti-personnel or anti-tank warhead. FireBall–120 mm laser/GPS guided mortar bomb, effective against personnel and soft targets to a range of 15 km. Nimrod 1-26 km, vehicle or helicopter-launched anti-tank, anti-personnel and anti-building missile.Nimrod 3 50 km laser/GPS guided missile with a large anti-building warhead.Griffin 3 Extremely accurate laser guidance kit for GP and penetration bombs. IAI has sold thousands of laser guided munitions to customers worldwide, and foresees a significant growth in the market as users demand more accurate and timely fire for their ground and air units. Israel Aerospace Industries, Ltd. (IAI) is Israel's largest industrial exporter and a globally recognized leader for the defense and commercial markets. MBT Missiles, a division of IAI's Systems Missiles & Space Group, specializes in the design and production of missile systems, naval attack missiles, loitering weapon systems and precision guidance munitions. MBT Missiles also offers integrated naval combat suits for new ships and as upgrades to existing ships. IAI is a leader in advanced air defense and anti-missile systems, both naval and ground based. IAI's sales for FY 2007 totaled $3.3 billion compared to $2.8 billion in 2006, an 18 percent increase. $2.7 billion (82 percent) of these sales are for export. news source:http://www.amazines.com/article_detail.cfm/549527?articleid=549527MBT shoes and Fit Flops - Make The Most of your Walking Have you been looking for a better way to shed pounds? Need to work your muscles in your legs? Your glutes? You could waste your summer in the gym. But why? There’s so many other fun things to do this summer season. Now there is an easier, more effective way to get the workout you need. Two new shoes for walking that you can take advantage of to help shed the pounds and tone you muscles more efficiently, without spending hours in the gym this summer. Both allow you to get an extra workout while doing what we all do on a daily basis…walking. The new walking shoes are called MBT shoes and fit flops. Both are relatively new brands of walking shoes that premiered and became popular in Europe and have since become increasingly popular in the United States. Featured on The Today Show, Good Morning America, Oprah, and 20/20, both these walking shoes are flying off the shelves. But why? The reason there is a feeding frenzy for both these shoes is that they are both a walking shoe with the gym built in, so you can get an extra workout while you walk. Both the MBT and the Fit Flops are designed to give you a more efficient workout, allowing you to burn more calories, activate and work neglected muscles, improve muscle coordination, absorb more shock and reduce the danger of suffering from a joint strain. The MBT shoe has been highlighted for its ability to cushion your feet while challenging your muscles. Clinical studies suggest that regular use improves balance, posture and circulation. MBT Shoes re-establish the natural conditions for standing and walking. The people that developed the Fit Flops spent years to research and devise a way to train the bottom of the foot to do all the work that it would do if you were walking barefoot. The premise of these sport sandals is to induce instability so that you hit the ground normally while walking. The mid soles incorporate a technology that challenges hard to reach muscles, tones your legs and thighs, and give you a better posture. The MBT shoe and Fit Flop sandals utilize different technologies in their design, but the concepts and goals of each is the same. They both help you burn more calories while walking, tone neglected muscles, decrease shock on the joints, and improves stamina. The biggest difference is price. MBT shoes range from $150 - $250 whereas the Fit Flops cost $50.Popular Walking Shoe With Big Claims For a moment, think about how many steps you take everyday. Now, think about how long you stand still everyday. Many do not know this, but every step you take puts about 500 pounds of pressure on your feet. That's a lot of miles and a lot of pressure. Isn't it worth your while to get walking shoes with all the comfort and support you can muster? MBT shoes are a very popular walking shoe right now. They have been getting a lot of press, as of late, so I thought I would take a closer look at these walking shoes to see what they offer. The concept for MBT walking shoes stems from studying the walking habits of the Masai tribe in Africa. The Masai are a semi-nomadic tribe whose lives center around tending to their cattle and hunting. A consequence of this is that they walk very long distances on a daily basis. It was discovered that as they walk on the natural uneven terrain they develop toned and lean leg muscles, have a perfect posture, and suffer a minimal amount of back and joint problems. The MBT walking shoes actually imitate the terrain the Masai walk on and turn the hard and uneven surfaces that we walk on everyday, into the soft and natural ground of the Masai. This causes the muscles to work harder and become the natural shock absorbers they were destined to be, in addition to protecting the back and joints. The key element of these internationally patented walking shoes are the unique curved sole and the Swiss Masai sensor positioned under the heel. It enables the pleasant rolling feeling while walking because it lets the heel sink down as it would on a soft, natural surface. In addition to the balancing area under the in-step, the Masai sensor also ensures natural instability to which the body responds with enhanced muscle activity. Interplay between this walking shoe's sensor and the other components of MBT Trainers has been increasingly refined over th years of testing. In MBT's, the foot extends in a natural, controlled way. Pressure distribution over the muscles previously neglected become retrained and more fit. Because of all this technology found in these innovative walking shoes, medical professional around the world recommend the use of MBT shoes for a variety of cases. They are highly used in the treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of several ailments including: back pain, hip and joint problems, back discomfort, leg and foot problems and ligament and tendon injuries. Back problems, especially, are helped due to the MBT's loosening effects with muscle tension. This allows the body to return to its natural state of health and encourages its natural healing abilities. It is the range of benefits and positive effects that make the MBT Shoes a very attractive walking shoe choice for people in all walks of life and with varying needs.Correct Way to Walk in MBT Kisumu Sandals MBT Kisumu are not your normal, run-of-the-mill kind of footwear. It's a completely new sandal concept. The first ever physiological footwear. The MBT Kisumu sandals trains muscles, relieves the strain on joints, improves posture and gait and even burns calories at every step and even while standing. These sandals have really been beneficial to a lot of people and are really starting to become popular. But to really get all the benefits out of this walking sandal, you need to know how to walk in them properly. Yes, there is a right way and a wrong way to walk in them. In this article, I will teach you how to correctly walk in the Kisumu so that you get the most out of your new footwear. When buying your MBT Kisumu, make sure that you purchase a pair that have the correct fit. Make sure that they are tight on the heel, snug on the in-step and that they are comfortable around the toes. It is important that the heel is placed at the back of the footbed prior to fitting the straps of the sandal. After that, the first step is to stand up. It will probably feel a little squishy at first, that's normal. Can you feel how your muscles work and adjust as they respond to the natural instability under your feet? Before you begin walking in your Kisumu, bring your body into a healthy, upright posture. Now look forward, not at your feet, and start walking briskly, but in a relaxed manner. With every step, try to land towards the back of the sandal, and roll over the sole from heel to toe. Try to use slightly more pressure to the outside of the sole to prevent the foot from rolling inwards. Your body will soon adjust to this natural active rolling movement. Take care that the strides you take in your MBT Sneakers are not too long, and that your arms swing loosely beside your body. Are you starting to feel it? Once you get used to the motions, start increasing your speed. Begin walking with quicker steps, progressing to a rolling jog trot. This kind of motion, somewhere in between a walk and jog, is what the people at Masai Barefoot Technology call "Floating" As you float, retain your upright stance and a natural rolling movement of your feet. A quick tip is to take care to not bring your knees up actively as you might when you are jogging. Rather, keep your legs loose. After a short time, reduce your speed again. Decrease your tempo until you come to a complete stop. As mentioned before, breath in deeply and roll back your shoulders to bring your body back to an upright position. Keep your feet almost parallel and hip-width apart. Roll slowly from the heels to the toes and then back again in the MBT Kisumu. Be aware of what is going on with your feet and do not bend them in or out, and keep your knees soft. The swinging motion should not be directed from the hips, but the foot joints. Get the feel of your feet, specifically the mid-sole. Feel it balancing and work on remaining balanced on the small raised part of the sandal. It's similar to the feeling of a sand hill under the arch of your foot. You have achieved an optimum stance in your Kisumu sandals when the balancing area in your in-step is vertically aligned with your knees, hips, shoulders and ears. I can honestly say, this takes practice. Keep working on it so that you can reap all the benefits of MBT Kisumu sandals. Even when you have adapted to the walking shoes by Swiss Masai, wearing them everyday, you can be confident that your body continues to be activated and working the muscles whenever you wear them.Better Posture with New Walking Shoes MBT shoes, or Masai Barefoot Technology, are a very innovative walking shoe to enter the market.
