TTT 0 aug is mi (a 4C ILLINOIS ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1993 British Working On Advanced Weaponry Highway 141 Construction Olive MILES 1 Crowfoot. It is similar to the Navy's highly successful SPY-1 radar system, but is more advanced and cheaper, the agency said. The U.S. ballistic missile defense program is spending $3 million to $4 million to help test the new system in Scotland, Crowfoot said.

Scientists at the British agency have also developed new radar technology that can see through clouds, take raw radar data and produce images which look better than an instant camera's. A number of British and U.S. companies are negotiating to license it, the agency said. The computer program to help analyze intelligence data has enabled intelligence analysts to do their work in 60 percent less time and get "much more accurate pictures of what is happening," said project director Derek Barnes. It has been such a hit that it has been rushed into use two years ahead of schedule, he said.

Chisholm said the aim of new weapons research is pinpoint accuracy to avoid civilian casualties and mistaken attacks on friendly forces. The new generation of "smart" weapons are likely to have sensors such as infrared cameras so they can recognize and select targets for themselves, said project director Mike Cooper. The agency is designing small, light, highly agile missiles with very small warheads that can identify an aircraft and strike the most vulnerable spot on an enemy warplaae; he said. A 21st-century gun system that uses electromagnetic energy is being jointly evaluated by the British agency and the U.S. armed forces.

For the ordinary soldier, this would mean not having to lug heavy shells around. The computerized two-man crew station for armored fighting vehicles developed by the agency will bedem-onstrated in Orlando, in November. Clayton -Milldale I Work 's postponed Boats Meramec LONDON (AP) The post-cold war warrior is getting a new hightech arsenal to cope with smaller, unpredictable conflicts. British defense researchers are working on a host of military advances from tiny missiles that can distinguish between enemy and friendly aircraft to powerful radar systems that can target numerous supersonic missiles fired simultaneously at a warship. Scientists are already testing an armored fighting vehicle with twin computers that can track the world outside and a computer system for intelligence analysts which can sift through masses of data, represent it on a screen, and highlight key pieces.

"In this new world order, flexibility, information, and precision have to be the watchwords," said John Chis-holm, chief executive of the Defense Research Agency, which is owned by Britain's Ministry of Defense but operated as a private company. "To see and not be seen this is crucial for the future, the type of technologies that allow us to gain an information advantage because we'll be operating in unfamiliar territories," he said at a recent briefing announcing the agency's annual results. The agency, with a staff of 10,500, conducts research in 150 areas, holds 5,000 active patents and has 400 current licenses with industries exploiting its inventions. "There's no doubt that the agency is the premier research and development agency in Britain and probably in Europe," Paul Beaver, publisher of Jane's Information Group, said. The powerful radar the agency has developed for warships can function even when partially damaged by an enemy and is "very, very difficult to jam," said project director Tim Kunkle said July figures also indicate that several casinos can operate successfully in the Chicago metropolitan area, if the casinos sell themselves intelligently.

"The reason the Empress, the Northern Star and City Lights can operate near each other is they're all a little different, addressing different market niches, offering different amenities," Kunkle said Thursday. All of Illinois' riverboats took in $62.4 million in July, passing $10.5 million of that in taxes to the state and $4.2 million to local governments. The Empress took in $15.8 million in adjusted gross receipts in July, more than any other floating casino. City Lights 1 and 2, in Aurora; were its closest competitors, with receipts totaling $8.5 million. Work to begin in '96 Work to begin in '94 Meat Plant's Walls Felled To Put Out Fire From page one the Alton Belle, remained open through most days of the flooding by building temporary walkways over floodwater.

But some potential customers declined to use the long walkways, officials said. In June, the Alton Belle recorded 123,885 passengers. In July, the boat recorded just 88,367 passengers. Meanwhile, competition didn't keep casinos from making money in northern Illinois last month. July marked the first full month of operation for Aurora's two boats, City Lights 1 and City Lights and East St.

Louis' Casino Queen. The new boats, combined with the traditionally heavy summer season for gambling, led to the largest adjusted gross receipts Illinois has seen since the first floating casino opened for business in September 1991, said William Kunkle, chairman of the Illinois Gaming Board. Kirkwood School Head Dead At 62 By Joan Little Of the Post-Dispatch Staff N. Keating, superintendent of Kirkwood schools since 1978, died Thursday morning after a heart attack while vacationing at his daughter's home near Lincoln, Neb. Dr.

Keating, 62, collapsed while taking a walk with his wife, Ginny, near the home of their daughter, Sharon Keating Jorgenson. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was revived. But he suffered a second heart attack and died. A memorial service for Dr. Keating will be at 2 p.m.

Monday at Kirkwood United Methodist Church at 201 West Adams Avenue in Kirkwood. The body will be cremated. Dr. Keating was known as an expert on legislative issues that affected area school districts. A former Kirkwood board member, Robert Piening, described him as one of the deans of superintendents in St.

Louis County. Piening, who served on the board from 1977 to 1986, said, "He provided real strong leadership for the Kirkwood schools through some difficult times." In 1981, Dr. Keating was one of the drafters of the areawide voluntary school desegregation plan, now the largest of its kind in the nation. In 1990, Dr. Keating was credited for refusing to buckle under to pressure from some residents who criticized the school newspaper for running an advertisement from Planned Parenthood.

Dr. Keating met with students and worked out a policy to deal with future situations. Another former Kirkwood board member, Joan Dowell, said Dr. Keating was able to make others feel they could accomplish great things. "He was a person with very high ideals, and he loved to think of himself as a simple boy from Nebraska, but actually he was very bright and quite sophisticated," said Dowell.

Dr. Keating had announced earlier this year that he would retire as superintendent next July. At the time Keating announced his retirement, he suggested postponing a newspaper article about his accomplishments until next summer. "We have plenty of time," he said then. educator for more than 40 years, Dr.

Keating graduated in 1952 from Nebraska Wesleyan University. He received a master's degree and doctorate in educational administration from the University of Missouri. He was a superintendent of a school tifstrict in Hastings, when he came to Kirkwood in 1978. Among the other survivors is a son, Kenneth, of Nebraska.

ArT0fT7 jjf Detail ST. LOUIS COUNTY (sVf WWW jf The walls of a meat-processing plant in Troy, 111., were pushed over Thursday to put out the remnants of a fire that caused an evacuation Wednesday night. Police Chief Robert Noonan said officials had a bulldozer push down the walls of Troy Frozen Foods, 200 South Main Street, to smother stubborn flames in the debris. The insulation in freezers was burning, and the units' steel walls were trapping the heat and keeping the fire alive, Noonan said. Fire Chief Ronald Schultze said the fire apparently started before 4 p.m.

Wednesday near the units where meat was smoked, but the cause of fire was uncertain. He said firefighters from Troy and five other departments responded. Noonan ordered the evacuation of 1,000 to 1,200 people from the downtown area after 5:30 p.m., when two tanks holding about 800 gallons of volatile ammonia began to leak. He said firefighters controlled the ammonia by keeping streams of water on it. Tom Borgm anPost-Dispatch Hiway FUNERAL NOTICES SMITH See Elkin HOLTZMAN, CARL Bfx Aug.

A little north between Highway 40 and Clayton, 41,000 cars drove 141 last year.

Some longtime residents of Manchester remember Highway 141 as a dirt road, or at least a road you could walk without seeing a car pass. Norman Barner, 70, has lived on 141 north of Manchester since 1958. Both he and his mother would lose their homes to the construction project. Barner welcomes any delay that will allow them to stay in their homes longer. In the meantime, motorists unhappy about half-mile backups on 141 have turned to subdivisions and short cuts along back roads.

Caplan said: "I avoid 141 like the plague. When I have to go to Manchester, I find an alternate route. And hopefully, others haven't found it." 0180 Masonic Notices ALL MEMBERS OF THE MASONIC FAMILY The Scottish Rite A Salvation Armv ore again working together for the benefit of Floed Victims in the metro area.
