A key element in one of the simplest anti-stealth systems is cooperation between satellites and aircraft.

The satellites and high-flying platforms that are communicating with combat aircraft and surface-to-air missiles can be a deadly surprise for stealth aircraft. Or at least those systems that are transmitting optical-area data to jet fighters and surface-to-air systems can make stealth systems more vulnerable. Even if the EM-jamming systems can affect the data links of those systems.

The idea of the use of the optical satellites in the anti-stealth role is simple. There is a large group of satellites whose observation area covers the entire operational area. The other way is to use extremely high-altitude flying aircraft or blips. That is using optical seekers and radars along with laser radars or lidars.

The combination of the sensors is making possible to see the stealth fighter by using optical imaging. The radar-based system can see the stealth fighter as a shadow against the ground. A large group of satellites can have various sensors that they can detect low-flying stealth. The idea of the satellite groups is similar to drones.

Each satellite can have only one sensor, but a large group of satellites can replace one expensive and multi-use satellite. And if one of those satellites will be destroyed by low-trajectory ASAT. That thing would not have a large-scale effect on the entirety.

Those satellites are communicating with aircraft that can fly at very low altitudes. In that case, the satellite will send the image of the operational area to the screens of the aircraft. And that will make it possible to aim the missiles at the stealth fighter.

The same system can transmit data to surface-to-air missiles which can use the data that the satellite transmits for traveling to the target zone. The modern anti-aircraft missiles can use image homing that is similar to the javelin missiles to home their targets.

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.

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
