Demonstration of survival techniques in tropical rain forests in the Philippines. Children row a boat in a river. Aerial view of a bridge over the river. Animated map of the Mekong River in South East Asia, the Congo River in Central Africa and the Amazon River in South America. Aerial view of inland water ways. Heavy foliage on either side of the river. United States Air Force Captain Jim Holt demonstrates basic survival tricks and techniques in tropical rain forest: he cuts bamboo and makes a jar from it. He fills stream water in the jar. He adds purification tablets in the water. He uses a probe stick to test water depth and avoids deep holes. The stick supports him while walking on a rocky path. He searches for food in rocks with the stick. He moves along the rocky path. He sits and rests.

The operation of the Command Guidance system for the Titan I Missile in the United States. Animation depicts: the electronic loop ties the missile to the ground guidance equipment. Animation depicts the operation of the missile. The missile lifts up under booster power and turns in line with designated target area according to the program. Mechanism of the air borne transmitter which emits radio energy and radar antennas being explained. Change is measured by the code wheels on antenna shaft. Range and missile actual position is also determined. The information is fed into computer system. Actual data is collected and compared with the fed data. The deviations are then calculated. Pitch yaw,steering orders and address codes are sent to missile. The missile borne equipment decode and send back its transformed tracking signals. The booster is separated and motor is ignited. Motor shuts as the desired velocity is attained and the payload is separated. The velocity data is calculated using moving bar charts and the concept of smoothing time being explained. Features incorporated to protect external jamming of the Command Guidance system includes power,antenna pattern,frequency ,code protection and blanking of receiver.
