Stand-off Weapons (SOW) - Several Expressions Explanation: Greetings / tahayia tayiba wa b3ad.. Four terms I have seen in Arabic printed media about military stand-off weapons (SOW) systems and related technologies include: 1. silaH muba3ad al-itlaaq سلاح مباعد الاطلاق 2. silaaH lilhujoom 3n al-ba3d سلاح للهجوم عن البعد 3. SarooKH yeTliq min ba3d mu3ain 3n al-hadif صاروخ يطلق من بعد معين عن الهدف 4. Qunbilat maqdhoofa 3n ba3d قنبلة مقذوفة عن بعد I'll check some of my military references and post any other equivalents. The Arab League's Committee for Unification of Military Terms recently issued a supplement on such military technologies. Please e-mail me at < mutarjm @ aol. com > to discuss that presentation, as the source document may well contain a number of troublesome and consternation-causing expressions and acronyms (aka "military-speak"). A number of significant distinctions exists whether the presentation will discuss (1) ground-launched SOW systems (2) air-launched SOW systems (from aircraft) (3) sea-launched/undersea-launched SOW systems (ships, submarines or other seaborne platform) (4) space-launched SOW systems (various platforms) Let me know if you need similar assistance with matters that involve weapons of mass destruction (asliHat al-demaar al-shaaamil). Hope these terms help. Khair, in sha' Allah. Regards, Stephen H. Franke Various military & specialized references |

ســـلاح المناوشــة عن بعـد Explanation: This is the term that I would prefer to use it at a presentation and a marketing of weapon that is to be used by Arabs .. and for attack ad defense purposes. ---------------------------------- To this weapon sounds like Nahashs' weapon in the Kuwait play "باي باي لندن" where such a weapon was referred to as سلاح الطخ عن بعد .... hahah |

peer agreement (net): +1سلاح للقتال بمنأى Explanation: I remember from my service days the description of a weapon equipped for face-to-face combat was: البندقية مزودة يسونكي من الأمام و دبشك من الخلف للقتال المتلاحم Using a cue from this wording, here are more suggestions: سلاح للقتال بمنأى سلاح للقتال المتنائي سلاح للقتال النائي If you do not mind being more verbose: سلاح للقتال بمنأى عن نار العدو سلاح للقتال بمنأى عن تهديد العدو سلاح للقتال بمنأى عن الخطر If the general wording fits your purpose, I am sure you will find the appropriate word combination. Regards, Alaa Zeineldine -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-04 05:42:23 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The word هجوم can replace قتال depending on whether you prefer the meaning of attack or combat. |

Indirect fire weapon (expedient system) Explanation: Greetings / tahaiya tayyiba wa b3ad... Based on the helpful context of that sample sentence, a suitable term might be: "expedient indirect fire weapon" (usually a rocket or missile and not a very accurate one; basically pointed and fired toward a general area, rather than aimed/directed at a visible "point target.") Re weapons used by the IRA in mortar attacks in London. The firing crew/person is usually away from the launch platform and fires the projectile/rocket by a "command order" conveyed via wire or radio signal). There are other, signficant differences in terms and technologies if dealing with a guided / directed / aimed weapon (from an aircraft, for example) or an expedient weapon that is "shoot and scoot." HTH. Khair, in sha' Allah. Various refernces; hope this applies |
