Jetpacks can be the great opportunity, but they can be very big danger for the common security

The jetpack flights are now quite common, but do you know that those equipment has planned also the civil- and military use. In the civil duties, that equipment can get the rescue operators in the forests, and if those flying machines would be remote controlled, they can get the personnel out of the burning houses, and help the situation in the accident area, by bringing the medicines and the medical staff in the areas, what are too risky for the helicopters. Or this is what some futurologists see the use of this equipment.


Major problems with motorized hand gliders are that those equipment are suitable for terror-attack. The motorized hand gliders can use as to make the air-strike against any target, and those operators can be extremely dangerous because they can equip with the hand grenades, grenade launchers, and assault rifles, and even the heavily protected targets can be treated by those things. The special forces are also very interested to use jetpacks in their operations.


One of the realistic use for the jetpacks is to use them with the DARPA:s new human-like "Atlas"-robot, what could be sent to the combat zone with the jetpacks. The robots might deliver from C-130 Hercules or any other cargo plane to the operational area, and those combat robots, what have used this thing, might have the limited air-combat capacity. In some most imaginal visions, those robots can shoot to the operational area by ballistic missile, what returning capsule is that robot.


The vision is like straight from some "Terminator"-movie, where the combat robot will be sent for the assassination mission by the intercontinental ballistic missile. Those jet gliders can be used to drop the operators far away from the target, and they can fly to the target area. The jetpacks are actually quite difficult to see because they are very small sized. And the modern electronics allow making the autopilot-controlled jetpack, what leaves the operator in the right place, and then this thing will fly away.

Also, these little aircraft are probably planned to use as the carriers of small guided bombs. In this scenario, the jetpack is equipped with the GBU:s or "Stinger" missiles, and the remote-controlled glider can also use the miniaturized combat aircraft. Those things can also support the special forces combatants in their missions by delivering the combat equipment to those combatants, who operate far away from enemy lines.

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
