Article Abstract:
New orders for Mirage 2000-5 Mk2 fighter aircraft from Greece and the United Arab Emirates have provided the French aircraft industry with a lightweight single-engined multirole fighter. The Mirage 2000-5 was developed by Dassault in 1986 as an upgrade for the earlier Mirage 2000C/B models. Its key features include the RDY radar and Sextant pilot-vehicle interface from Thomson-CSF and thrust-vectoring MICA family of radar- and infrared-guided medium-range air-to-air missiles from Matra BAe Dynamics.

Article Abstract:
New generation business jets offer an attractive platform for military customers with their high transit speed, extensive range, long endurance and high-altitude performance. The Bombardier Global Express and Gulfstream V (G-V) are competing head-to-head for special-mission applications. Powered by a pair of BMW Rolls-Royce BR710-18 14,750-lb thrust engines, the two corporate jets have spacious cabins that can accommodate a large payload such as electronic-warfare suites, communications equipment and surveillance radars.
