DARPA:s Harnessing Infrastructure for Building Reconnaissance (HIBR) can track any person from any building at any time



Kimmo Huosionmaa

This  highly advanced multi-role tracking system is used to track any people in any kind of building used by RF (Radio Frequency) signals. The idea of the HIBR-system is actually very simple. There is the need for tracking the people in 3D (Three dimensional) space, and when there is needed more than two vehicle, what locates the 3D space. The system is theoretically same kind of system, what is used as the triangle metering in the building areas, but when the system maker want to make 3D location and target the man inside the building where is many floors, must this person use six targeting points, and then the system is like the box shape formation of the tracking device. Why I’m writing here about this system, is that even some computer hobbyists can make this kind of equipment with the WLAN-support stations. In this case, the system will track the one particular GSM-phone, what is connected to the WLAN.


This system is of course used by civilians, and connecting in it is voluntary. The tracking system can be made by the normal WLAN-stations, what are set in 3D formation inside some shopping center. DARPA might think to use drones as the platform of that system, and in this scenario, the persons who are inside the building uses the transponder equipment, what allows the support operators to locate them inside the building. They might also view the film, what is send from those operators helmet cameras to that system. The HIBR might be the multi-sensor system, what might operate in the infrared and radio frequency and also some kind of SONAR:s might be used to locate the enemies.


This system can use as the meter the distance to the target and as the voice weapon, what will lock the targets nervous system. HIBR system might give the information about the position of the target to the support team. In this scenario, the HIBR is used by police or military entry SWAT-team what will search the bad guys from buildings, and the problem is, of course, to locate the enemies inside the building. Of course if the operators have the phone numbers of the target, they can track this person simply way: just making the phone call to this target, but if the target is thrown the telephone away, and this person doesn’t have any electronic device, must this person tracked by some other way, than use the walkie-talkie or GSM-signals to take the tracking those targets.

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.

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
