Six months after stepping down as director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), retired US Air Force General Michael Hayden continues to focus on areas of sterling silver jewelry potential threats to national security, ranging from the porous border with Mexico to tracking suspected terrorists.

On 14 September, the frigate BNS Louise-Marie was patrolling the Gulf of Aden when it chanced upon a sinking skiff. As the dilapidated craft's passengers took to the water, the Belgian warship quickly manoeuvred to deploy its sea boats, rescuing 38 survivors.
The previous day, the Karel Doorman-class frigate had been tasked to freshwater pearl earrings escort one of its more unusual charges: a 29,000-ton semi-submersible heavy-lift ship. Mighty Servant 1 was en route from the Maldives to Norway, transporting part of an oil production platform.
On 3 October, sailors from Louise-Marie were ordered to board and search a skiff that had approached a merchant vessel at high speed. The skiff ignored instructions to stop until the frigate's embarked helicopter fired two warning bursts from its machine gun.
These are just a few of the incidents that have occurred since the beginning of September, when the Maritime Component of the Belgian Armed Forces (BAF) deployed what is one half of its frigate force on Operation 'Atalanta', the multinational counter-piracy mission being undertaken by EU Naval Force Somalia off the freshwater pearl necklace Horn of Africa.
In the same month, Belgium's Minister of Defence, Pieter de Crem, announced that he had asked the EU Council to delegate command of the 'Atalanta' task group to the BAF Maritime Component - commonly known as the Belgian Navy (BN) - for three months in 2010.
In the past few years, the BN has deployed assets in support of NATO's Operation 'Active Endeavour', the UN Interim Force for Lebanon (UNIFIL) Maritime Task Force (MTF) 448 and drug interdiction operations in the Caribbean. In addition, a Belgian minehunter is permanently assigned to Standing NATO freswhater pearl necklace Mine Countermeasures Group 1 (SNMCMG 1) and the nation provides the group's commander and command platform on a rotational basis.

Space on call: operationally responsive space

The level of ambition inherent in the US Department of Defense's (DoD) operationally responsive space (ORS) vision is quickly apparent by comparing its goals with the military's traditional means of approaching the business of space.
To avoid being caught out by what former defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld once coined as a "space Pearl Harbor", the DoD hopes to reduce its reliance on inflatable water games expensive, high-performance satellite programmes developed over a number of years and instead create a means of rapidly deploying low-cost, smaller satellites.
While the ORS concept has been around for sometime, several events in recent years - the Chinese anti-satellite (ASAT) test in 2007, the collision of the Iridium and Cosmos satellites in February and the increase in cyber attack and GPS jamming capabilities - have seen it increasingly championed within the space community.
At the heart of the ORS effort is the development of akoya pearl necklace "increasingly responsive architectures" to enable the "rapid fielding of space systems in support of the warfighter".
In the words of the ORS Office director, Dr Peter Wegner, the term ORS can be summed up as: "Assured space power focused on timely satisfaction of the joint force commanders' [JFC] needs.
"ORS is focused on a new, information-age-based model of low-cost, rapid-reaction space assets. We're not intending to replace or compete with the traditional model of exquisitely high-performance systems. ORS' focus is truly on the warfighter - making sure they have the wholesale pearl earrings information they need when they need it," Wegner said.
