The eye of the tiger: LiDAR.


The LiDAR or laser radars can be the next-generation system in AI and communication. LiDAR is a radar that works in optical areas. LiDAR can turn into a laser weapon simply by adjusting its power and the area of the laser beam. So the next-generation radar stations can use radar and LiDAR combination for detecting and intercepting hostile targets. 

Laser communication and quantum computing offer ultra-secured data transmission ability, the LiDAR can send information as qubits.  If information travels in the laser ray, that travels inside the hollow laser ray stealing it is very hard or impossible. If somebody wants to steal information that affects the energy level of the outer laser ray. The long-range qubit-based communication can base on the CCD camera or compound eye. This kind of system requires extreme accuracy that they can operate. 

The idea is that the laser illuminates a certain number of squares in the receiver. The number of those illuminated squares is part of the key, the receiver can open those messages. Or lasers can send information separately to each of those receiving squares. In that case, the brightness of each laser beam is a certain level of qubit.  

"For AI to reach its full potential as a powerful helper in all our tasks, the system that needs to outshine others is one few know about – LiDAR"





The model of CCD-qubit. 

This kind of secured data transmission is needed when manned aircraft communicate with their escort drones. 


The thing that makes laser radars potential systems also for communication is that LiDAR technology can connect communication and observing tools. So LiDAR systems can use as "cameras" of the vehicles and the same system can communicate with other vehicles and equipment. The LiDAR is a laser scanner. The system operates as regular radar that uses radio waves. But LiDAR is more versatile than radar sensors. The LiDAR systems can observe pollution and other chemical compounds from the air or other layers. 

The LiDAR systems can also installed in small-size drones there they can also communicate and scan the landscape and make spectroscopic analyses and give warnings about chemical weapons. LiDAR system is similar to radar. There are active LiDARs in which laser transmitter and receiving sensors are in the same unit. Or semi-active LiDARs where the laser transmitter illuminates targets, and the receivers are in other platforms. 

In semi-active LiDARs, the outside system illuminates objects by using a laser ray. And the aircraft or some other system can detect the echo or shine that comes from the object. 

Many people are heard semi-active radars, or SAR radars in the cases of missiles where the aircraft's radar must illuminate the object while the missile travels into it. The semi-active homing missiles use only echo from the target. But also aircraft can use this technology. The ground-based radar station can illuminate the target. And the aircraft can receive that echo with their passive sensors. The ground station can use both radars and LiDARs to detect intercepting targets. And the LiDAR system can turn into a laser weapon simply by adjusting its power.

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
