Lockheed-Martin project Falcon

 



Lockheed-Martin project Falcon


Project Falcon was the testbed for creating ultra-fast and ultra-capable unmanned aircraft for the reconnaissance missions and probably for the attacking purposes. The reason for launching that project was to create technology what allowed to create drone for the missions, what was dangerous and top secret. The system used staged scramjet technology, where lifting off happened by using standard jet engines when the speed was about Mach 1 the ramjet engines started to operate, and when the speed was about Mach 6 to 7 the scramjets or the hypersonic ramjets were started to operate. 


The maximum speed of that platform was about Mach 9-12. That kind of recon plane could be safe for the user, and if the missile hits it, it can be destroyed by using explosives. Otherwise, that kind of system can be used to carry small-size smart weapons to the other side of Earth very fast. That thing would give the operator the pin-point accuracy also in the intercontinental operations. 





And this kind of hypersonic drone can also be used as the hypersonic cruise missile. If the hypersonic drone is equipped with nuclear weapons, it can rise to airborne, and use in the same missions, with the strategic bomber, it can cruise airborne, and when the alarm comes, that kind of drone can attack against enemy targets same way with normal bombers, but those systems can explode internally installed nuclear detonators. 





But if the mission is delayed that kind of drone can return to base. So they have the combined role with cruise missile and strategic bomber. This can be the answer to the challenges of the new era's strategic strike capacity and the threats that missiles like S-300 are given to the new era attack planes. In some scenarios, the attack planes, which operate in the enemy territory would be replaced by robots. 


The defensive fighters are operating in own airspace would be manned, which gives them the surprise effect. The artificial intelligence would learn from the actions, what real pilots are doing. The thing is that attack drones that are operated by artificial intelligence can also be used in kamikaze missions. If the bombardment is not effective the drone can just dive and impact to target. Those drones can shot down and that doesn't cause any losses for crews. So that kind of mission can be hidden from the public eye even they are failing.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
