Writing about threats of modern military drones

When we are talking about new era combat robots, we must understand why those kind of weapon systems are creating in many laboratories around the world. If some army or air force will begin to use robots on the battlefield, they don't have worry about losses, because in those operations will not cause human casualties on the side, what uses robots on the battlefield.


Robots are very good weapons because if we think about robot airplanes, they can be airborne even for years.  Robot bombers and fighters are actually an upgraded versions of cruise missiles. The main difference between robot fighter and a cruise missile is that robot fighter or bomber uses sub-munitions to attack the targets. But also those robot planes might equip with internal warheads.


So those planes might use as a kamikaze if there is enough important target for those planes. But this kind of systems will cause a terrible situation in the air. If standard cruise missiles are equipped with sub missiles, and they would have the capacity to go air combat, the result could be devastating, if fighter pilots don't know about the situation, where cruise missiles have anti-aircraft missiles. Those systems might look like missiles, but they have the capacity to go air battle. Modern combat robots are very autonomic units. They can equip with advanced artificial intelligence, what makes them immune for ECM-systems.


And they have image detectors, what makes them possible to identify any targets, what are allowed to attack. Those image recognization systems make possible to pick armed persons from streets and open the fire against them. But those image scanning programs makes possible to use UCAV:s (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles) to kill some precise targets. If those systems are mounted to combat drones, what is actually "X" -helicopters, what is equip with machine guns,  they might be very dangerous.


Network-based computing infrastructure makes drone musters very good but same time very dangerous part of military technology. Anybody can buy toy helicopter, and equip it with rifle ammunition, what can launch by the electric spark by the same kind of equipment that is used in remote-controlled bombs. And those drones can be equipped with electric winches, what pulls the trigger back with wire. And those guns ammunition might be installed with the trunk of the gun, what allows to install 360 degrees turning stand for that weapon. Aiming that system might happen with cameras, and they might be useful in anti-sniper operations. But those weapons can be very dangerous in wrong hands.


This systems base is a system, where computers share their calculating capacity between them, and even if those drones have very many limits in their computer systems, the shared computing makes possible to make autonomic drone muster, what will use for the attack against any target. Those drone musters might be acting as a group when e attacking airplane comes, they will rise in the path of that plane, and try to guide those drones inside it motors, and that will cause loss of that airplane.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  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.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. 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
