IBM has created the coffee drone, what could be dangerous in wrong hands

Coffee drones are created to make life easier, but this kind of drones can be extremely dangerous because they can also be used in eavesdrop operations. In that case, the nano helicopter would hang the microphone under it. Or somebody can put the small eavesdrop machine called "bug" in that drone if that would fly from the unsecured area. Those drones can also be used in the many kinds of intelligence operations, and one of the most interesting methods is, that drone would carry the "honey-pot" or rogue WLAN-devices to near the targeted office. Those rogue stations would replace the normal WLAN support stations, and those stations would be pulled out from the wall plug.


Those drones could carry those devices unseen on the cover of the night, and then the operator must only connect those devices to the electric circuit simply putting the plug to socket, and because those operators must not carry anything, the security guards could let them go to the roofs. The problem with those WLAN-devices is that they must replace the original devices. In the most valuable method would be that the real WLAN-stations would be renamed, taken out from the electric circuit or destroyed, and the data would be routed to the faked WLAN support stations.


The normal mobile telephone can be used in that kind of action, and there is needed the programs, what would duplicate the data. The other route would allow the user to use normal Internet-services, but the other route would send to the operator's computer. And when the eavesdrop mission is over must the real WLAN stations reconnect and the honeypot routers, what is used  "man in the middle" attack would just fly away with those drones.


In the worst scenarios, those drones can equip with a dynamite,  grenade or FAE (Fuel Air Explosives) bomb. Those weapons can be extremely lethal. Also, the microwave weapons can be connected to that thing. Those weapons cause very powerful EMP-pulse, what can cause very bad injuries. The idea of those weapons is that the battery would be pushed by explosives, and then it would give extremely powerful microwave burst in the compassion with their size, what mission is to damage the electronics, and terminate computer centers or alarming systems.

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
