M-150 (Michigan Highway)
M-150 is a state trunkline highway in the US state of Michigan that runs through Rochester Hills and Rochester. It is more commonly known as Rochester Road and runs from a southern terminus at the M-59 freeway north through downtown Rochester to a northern terminus at Tienken Road. M-150 has been a state trunkline since around 1930, and within a few years of its commissioning, it was extended south through Royal Oak and north into rural Oakland County. After changes in the 1960s, the highway terminated in Troy at Interstate 75 (I-75) on the southern end and Tienken Road on the north. Since 1987, it has ended at M-59. Route description M-150 follows a single road, known locally as Rochester Road. The trunkline begins at an interchange where Rochester Road crosses the M-59 freeway at exit 46 in Rochester Hills. From there it travels north past the Hampton Golf Club and the Winchester Mall between the intersections with Auburn and Hamlin roads. Past this commercial deve ...

M150 Penetration Augmented Munition
The M150 Penetration Augmented Munition (PAM) is an explosive device developed for the Special Operations Forces of the United States Army, such as Delta Force. It is designed to destroy large, reinforced concrete structures, such as bridges, and was developed by Alliant Techsystems in collaboration with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. History and function The PAM originated in a project run by the Livermore laboratory for the United States Air Force. In the 1980s, they were tasked with developing a two-stage explosive device: this resulted in a 2,000 lb bomb, and funding from DARPA to develop a three-stage device designed to blow craters in runways. That three-stage device drew the attention of both the Department of Energy and Department of Defense, who signed a Memorandum of Understanding directing the development of a man-portable munition. This resulted in the PAM. Each PAM consists of four primary components: a Tandem Forward Charge (TFC), a Follow Through Ch ...

Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight
The Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) is a series of prismatic telescopic sights manufactured by Trijicon. The ACOG was originally designed to be used on the M16 rifle and M4 carbine, but Trijicon has also developed ACOG accessories for other firearms. Models provide fixed-power magnification levels from 1.25× to 6×. ACOG reticles are illuminated at night by an internal tritium phosphor. Some versions have an additional daytime reticle illumination via a passive external fiberoptic light pipe or are LED-illuminated using a dry battery. The first ACOG model, known as the TA01, was released in 1987. History The first ACOG model, known as the TA01, was released in 1987. In 1995, United States Special Operations Command selected the 4×32 TA01 as the official scope for the M4 carbine and purchased 12,000 units from Trijicon. Between 2004 and 2005, the ACOG was selected as the official Rifle Combat Optic of the United States Marine Corps, prompting Trijicon to produce 100,000 ...
