Frankly, you message sounds a lot like you are a foreigner trying to fish out US intelligence. Why else would you ask a Java 3D list for info on missiles? If you really have contacts in the business already, why not ask these contacts? Why us?

Looking for TACTICAL SOFTWARE & PLUME ANALYST GURUS - Can anyone recommend online journals to me? Dear Java3D Sun-Gurus, Can anyone recommend any niche journals and websites to me? I've been commissioned to recruit a talented plume analyst as well as a tactical software and systems engineer for STANDARD missiles and kill vehicles/warheads... I'm trying to ramp up to speed and looking for a kind soul to shed some light/leads. The company I'm working with is a state of the art, privately held, shockingly cool, small company that's been growing steadily for the past decade and is held in quite high regard in the missile defense industry. And I need to learn more myself. (My Bryn Mawr education didn't teach me the nuances of simulation software or structural decomposition, unfortunately!)!! CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP ME? I've pasted a few of the job descriptions below in case they conjure ideas for other journals or leads, but I learn quickly and want to ramp up fast. I'd be grateful if you could send me a signal of any kind... preferably not a missile though! With sincere regards and many thanks. Happy to return the favor!!
