Same technology what is used in smart bullets (1) can be used in flechette ammunition, what will be dropped from the airships what, are flying very high altitude. Those miniature missiles can take any person out if that person is defined to the target for the elimination operation. The user of that kind of weapon might be airship or aircraft what operates at extremely high altitude.


Those airships might be very small size, and they could be launched from the submarines and they might be only less than half meters long. And if we are honest the size of those vehicles can be as the personal pontoons, what are used in the children swimming pontoons. They might be built by mylar, the material what was used Echo satellites (2) , so they can fly at the edge of space. And because their small size they are very hard to locate in the sky.


That kind of extremely small airships can also import to the country with agents in their packages, and after the order to use those vehicles, they only must fill the gas tanks and blow the vehicle full, and after that, the operators might control them via satellites. And the worst case is that those vehicles will go to hands of the dictators. They might use those weapons for eliminating any person, who will not obey them.


Those miniature airships are like blimps but they are far smaller. Of course, they can use as the surveillance operations, but they might be effective by using smart flechettes, what might guide to the target with laser guidance. And if that equipment will use for the assassination purposes, they will be extremely dangerous for any person, who will be listed for elimination.


This might hear like the science fiction, but this technology already exists. The remote-controlled airships already come in the peace and war. Their mission is to locate enemies and fill the intellectual capacity in some areas. And same technology what is used in the normal smart bullets can be used in the smart flechettes. Those weapons works like the ground team spots the target for the GPS-system and after that the airship comes to the area and locates the drop point for that flechette, and then the ammunition will be targeted to the target with laser guidance, what can use by the drones or some persons, who point the target with laser designators.

How to make RC-hobby more interesting? (Use of miniaturized technology in military and scientific operations)

We all know about RC-cars. Those small remote controlled vehicles are a good hobby for some teenager or elder person. But if you want to get more about that thing, you just need one cell phone and take a video call, and now you can control your RC-vehicle even if you are not in visual contact with it. As the reader might already know that thing is simple, put cellphone where is a program for video call to RC-car and you can use other cellphones to see where you can drive.


Only thing what you must remember is remote controllers operative radius, and that will make your hobby simpler. Using "find my phone"-action you might see where you RC-car is going. But if you want to make your RC-car faster, just put there RC-airplanes combustion motor and servomotor what will use a carburetor. That small machine can replace gas pedal in this system.


Those kind of stuff are free to buy from net or hobbyists shops, and any person who is over 18 is allowed to buy a cellphone. If you want to make more fast RC-car, you just might want to make a hybrid vehicle, where combustion engine uses a small generator, what is connected to a small electric motor. Why electric motors make cars faster than combustion motors if they have enough electricity is that electric motor is rotating, and that's why it can have higher radial speed than combustion engine what uses to and from moving pistons. Most modern military intelligence equipment is also a size of RC-cars. Their mission is like more well-known flying drones, but that kind of tiny robot cars can go to tunnels and investigate them.


Those robots use inertial navigation system for record them the route, and if they lose communication to headquarters they can drive back, and retry communication. Those little cars can deliver their operation area by flying drones, and they can also carry small but effective explosives, like small HEAT-warheads or Fuel-air explosives. That new type of remote-controlled combat vehicles has a basis in German "Goliath" miniature tank. They drive under a tank or other target and shoot this shell to bottom of it. Or they can drive to ammunition warehouse and explode themselves in there.


NASA would also be interested in that kind of miniature recon vehicles, what could send to other planets to investigate their icy moons and surfaces. Those RC-car style systems will use state of art artificial intelligence and networked computing when they investigate other planets and moons surfaces. Technology is same as working with autonomous nano size helicopters. For electricity, those systems might use cesium-batteries for long-term operations. Those systems basis in technology where they can deliver their computer resources to another part of that group.


Those systems might be a hybrid, and if the target is Titan, there might operate both kinds of vehicles. Helicopters what can carry those probes what operates that moons surface. And even if those systems are not so sophisticated than Mars roves they can cover more of that moon surface than one single big rover. And if NASA loses one vehicle it will not put the mission at risk.
