Underwater and flying drones making "flying submarines" real.

The Anduril's AI-controlled drone planned to hunt down other drones. Those VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Land) drones get their inspiration from Convair XFY-1 Pogo and Ryan X-13 Vertijet tail-sitting VTOL concepts. These kinds of drones will turn more usual. Operators can use them against drones, drone swarms, and manned aircraft. If those drones are waterproof. The VTOL drone can wait at dryland or near the coast in an underwater position. When it sees a drone or some hostile aircraft, it can start an attack against those targets using microwaves or some detonators.

Underwater drones are the next step in drone technology. Those drones can use stealth technology, that allows them to operate underwater without disturbing animals. Researchers can use underwater drones to go to very risky places. Underwater robots can calculate fishes or they can guard some areas. The underwater drone can use the same technology as flying drone swarms.

If the quadcopter is waterproof, that thing makes it possible for the system can operate in both elements, underwater and airborne. The new materials like the titanium-carbon fiber combination make it possible for those drones and drone swarms can operate in the very deep sea.

The DARPA's Manta Ray project tests underwater drones. But there is a possibility that this magnificent drone would also have the capacity to dive into the sea and fly airborne. Modern technology makes "flying submarines" possible. In the underwater role, the robot uses propellers for driving. And in airborne the blowers or small jet engines can give it the ability to fly. The jet engine will be in a waterproof shelter. When the drone will go airborne. It starts with jet engines. That drone can come near coasts underwater. And then jump out from the water and attack targets inland.

The Manta Ray might have a smaller auxiliary drone. That drone can pull also the capillary tube upwards. And that water flow could make hydrogen and oxygen in the electrolysis chamber if it travels through the generator. This thing makes Manta-Ray able to operate for a very long time even without radioisotope batteries. In the nuclear power version, the isotope battery gives electricity to the electrolysis system, which can divide water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen. That allows Manta Ray to make hydrogen for its jet engines if the system needs to fly.

Engineers can use the same technology to hide those drones from the human eye and naval sensors. Underwater kamikaze drones are like homing torpedoes. But the artificial intelligence gives them new abilities. Those highly advanced systems can hide in the deep sea, and when their sensors notice a suitable target, the AI starts the attack. Even small drones with cavity explosives can damage nuclear submarines' pressure hulls. That makes underwater drone swarms dangerous even to nuclear submarines.

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.

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
