Protective windshield coating used on Army Blackhawks in Iraq
Coating devised for race drivers by Pro-Tint is now applied to hundreds of Army Blackhawk helicopters flying combat missions over Iraq. The Mylar film, developed with United Protective Technologies, offers a thicker shield and is seen as a military parallel to NASCAR’s quick layer changes.

Missile defense failure blamed on minor software glitch
Washington officials described the December test glitch as a minor software issue that will not delay future tests. Air Force Lt. Gen. Henry Obering said the target mock warhead was launched from Kodiak, while the interceptor failed to launch at Kwajalein Atoll, with plans to retry in mid February and continue scheduled tests later in the year. The eight silos in Alaska and California remain capable for use against a real missile attack.
