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.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
