We all know about RC-cars. Those small remote controlled vehicles are a good hobby for some teenager or elder person. But if you want to get more about that thing, you just need one cell phone and take a video call, and now you can control your RC-vehicle even if you are not in visual contact with it. As the reader might already know that thing is simple, put cellphone where is a program for video call to RC-car and you can use other cellphones to see where you can drive.

Only thing what you must remember is remote controllers operative radius, and that will make your hobby simpler. Using "find my phone"-action you might see where you RC-car is going. But if you want to make your RC-car faster, just put there RC-airplanes combustion motor and servomotor what will use a carburetor. That small machine can replace gas pedal in this system.

Those kind of stuff are free to buy from net or hobbyists shops, and any person who is over 18 is allowed to buy a cellphone. If you want to make more fast RC-car, you just might want to make a hybrid vehicle, where combustion engine uses a small generator, what is connected to a small electric motor. Why electric motors make cars faster than combustion motors if they have enough electricity is that electric motor is rotating, and that's why it can have higher radial speed than combustion engine what uses to and from moving pistons. Most modern military intelligence equipment is also a size of RC-cars. Their mission is like more well-known flying drones, but that kind of tiny robot cars can go to tunnels and investigate them.

Those robots use inertial navigation system for record them the route, and if they lose communication to headquarters they can drive back, and retry communication. Those little cars can deliver their operation area by flying drones, and they can also carry small but effective explosives, like small HEAT-warheads or Fuel-air explosives. That new type of remote-controlled combat vehicles has a basis in German "Goliath" miniature tank. They drive under a tank or other target and shoot this shell to bottom of it. Or they can drive to ammunition warehouse and explode themselves in there.

NASA would also be interested in that kind of miniature recon vehicles, what could send to other planets to investigate their icy moons and surfaces. Those RC-car style systems will use state of art artificial intelligence and networked computing when they investigate other planets and moons surfaces. Technology is same as working with autonomous nano size helicopters. For electricity, those systems might use cesium-batteries for long-term operations. Those systems basis in technology where they can deliver their computer resources to another part of that group.

Those systems might be a hybrid, and if the target is Titan, there might operate both kinds of vehicles. Helicopters what can carry those probes what operates that moons surface. And even if those systems are not so sophisticated than Mars roves they can cover more of that moon surface than one single big rover. And if NASA loses one vehicle it will not put the mission at risk.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful. Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down. The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts. The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
