  • A young child is surrounded by adults as they visit the trade stand of an unnamed manufacturer of a smart bomb that occupies a prominent space at their stand at the Farnborough air show - an expo for the aviation and defence industries. A primitive plastic chain protects the million Pound armament from visitors touching although the bomb will be a non-operational model. A TV screen demonstrates the deadly nature of the guided munition that are typically mounted under the wings of fighter jets - in the days before pilotless drone aircraft.

  • Using a specially-designed trolley, we look down from above on two US Navy crew members transporting smart weapon armaments across the deck of the aircraft carrier US Navy USS Harry S Truman during its deployment patrol of the no-flyzone in the Persian Gulf, near the Kuwaiti coast. The Truman is the largest and newest of the US Navy's fleet of new generation carriers, a 97,000 ton floating city with a crew of  5,137, 650 are women.  The Iraqi no-fly zones (NFZs) were proclaimed by the United States, United Kingdom and France after the Gulf War of 1991 to protect humanitarian operations in northern Iraq and Shiite Muslims in the south. Iraqi aircraft were forbidden from flying inside the zones. The policy was enforced by US, UK and French aircraft patrols until France withdrew in 1998.

  • Up on the top deck, we see a lone sailor brushing off the grubby surfaces of parked F/A-18C Hornets and S-3 Vikings on the US Navy aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman during its deployment patrol of the no-fly zone at an unknown location in the Persian Gulf. Stacked together in tight formation to fit them all together during a daytime break in operations, the man bends into his task during the hottest time of day.

  • Two army officers from Ecuador admire an air-to-ground PARS 3 LR missile at the Paris Air Show, Le Bourget France. The two men (the man on the right's name badge says M Pazmino), admire the sleek design of the missile called PARS 3 LR in German but known as TRIGAT-LR (Third Generation AntiTank, Long Range) and AC 3G in the French military, the missile is a high-precision 'fire-and-forget' weapon system for engaging mobile and stationary targets equipped with the latest generation of armour protection, such as tanks, field fortresses, bunkers and other high-value targets. The system can launch up to four salvos in eight seconds. <br />
The Paris Air Show is a commercial air show, organised by the French aerospace industry whose purpose is to demonstrate military and civilian aircraft to potential customers.

  • The crew from a Challenger 2 tank of the British army's Royal Tank Regiment ready themselves before an afternoon and evening of live round firing at the Lulworth Ranges Dorset England. The tank is pointing its barrel out towards the sea, across open countryside that is owned by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and used exclusively for tank practice. While one crew member stays on top of the vehicle, another walks away with the outer casing of the 120mm shell that will be fired later as part of regular regimental training. FV4034 Challenger 2 is a main battle tank (MBT) currently in service with the armies of the United Kingdom and Oman. It is built by the British company Vickers Defence Systems (now part of BAE Systems Land and Armaments). The manufacturer advertises it as the world's most reliable main battle tank
