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.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

"This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things. That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries. "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

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
