   I may know about one of the items Paul mentioned.  The tri-service
standoff attack missile is likely the Texas Instruments JSOW missile
(Joint StandOff Weapon).  The Joint refers to joint military service.
   I'm currently working on the flight test program to clear the
JSOW for the Navy F/A-18 fleet.  It will also be cleared for the
Air Force F-15 and the Marine AV-8B.  No knowledge at this level is
classified, by the way.  There should be published reports that
give more detail about the missile, also.  It's pretty cool, and
has features that some on this list might find interesting. (wink,
wink).

I though the triservice standoff attack weapon was a large system,
one of whose features was ground launch capability by Army units
as well as air launch by USAF/USN, while JSOW was a pure air
launched system, for tactical uses, like the Matra Apache.
