Importance of cyber warfare.

Cyber warfare and the importance of it are now understood in the western military.  The best way to make lethal damage to the computer system is to use the logical bomb. In this case, the computer virus would be activated in the middle of the combat situation, what would decrease the ability to use the weapons. Another version of this operation is to change some codes inside the fire control system and delete the electronic codes of the master keys. And in this case, the computer would not recognize those keys. That means that the key would not activate the fire control computers, and that will be the very bad thing for the warship, what is under attack.


The question about cyber security is vital for military forces around the world, and in the worst scenario some person would paralyze a multi-million dollar warship by using a mobile telephone, and in the real world, that kind of threats would cause problems even for the security of the nuclear weapons.  The safety systems of those weapons are very good, and that means that hackers would not launch the missiles. But damages about this kind of attack might be very big, and in the critical time, that would cause the bad situation.


In this scenario, the person, who wants to sabotage the nuclear weapons of some state, would cause terrible damages for missile systems and decrease the strike capacity in the critical time. In this case, that person would use the nuclear weapons security systems against itself. That means that that operator would try to launch missiles without permission and orders, what means that those rockets would probably start. The safety system would deny those launches, but the rockets are unable to use. And if that would happen in critical time, would this cause threat to national security.


This would happen by using hacker techniques, where the hacker would just change the codes inside the nuclear weapon control computers. If the hacker could slip into the system, that person would able to change the launching code, or delete some code keys, and that would cause the situation, where the system would detect the launching as the unauthorized operation, and then the safety system would destroy those rockets. The warheads would not explode, and the missiles would not fly anywhere, but when this happens in the critical situation, would it cause the terrible situation in military forces.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(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
