B-52H Bombers are now testing new AGM-183A hypersonic cruise missiles. 


The AGM-183A ARRW ("Arrow") ("Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon") SCRAMJET-driven hypersonic cruise missiles are entering service, and they are one of the most powerful weapons on Earth. Or they are not entering service yet. They are under critical tests. The thing is that there are little things, that people are allowed to know about those highly classified projects, and the fact is that there might be even more deadly weapons under development in all countries, what are mentioned. 

The AGM-183 ARRW weapons are the USAF response to the similar weapons of Russia and China. The development of the hypersonic cruise missiles and its many variations is one of the most revolutionary things in the military field and the sad example of how the international contracts of the weapon disarming are not working. 

The hypersonic cruise missiles are an extremely deadly weapon even if they are using only the kinetic energy warheads. But the same systems can be equipped with a uranium bumper, which makes it a giant uranium bullet, or it can carry a thermonuclear warhead. This kind of weapon can install in the B-52H or some other strategic bombers, or they can shoot at targets by using the ballistic missiles. 

In the last model, the hypersonic missile would shoot outside the atmosphere by using some ballistic missile, and then the hypersonic missile will start to glide to the target. The speed that the ballistic missile can give is enough that the SCRAMJET engine can ignite. Similar hypersonic missiles are entering service in many countries like China, Russia, and India. 

The GBU-39 SDB 1 (The small diameter bomb 1 ) GBU-53/ StormBreaker SDB 2 (The small diameter bomb 2)  and why people should concern about this kind of weapon? 

The SDB-weapons are extremely small-size guided bomb units or GBUs, which are used since the 1970s. The SDB can have satellite, laser, image, or IR-guidance like in many other similar weapons. And they might have HEAT (aimed explosive), Thermobaric, or normal high-explosive warhead, which makes them very capable to destroy things like aircraft, vehicles, bunkers, tanks. SDB created because the light of the rocket booster of a missile can uncover the location of a stealth fighter. And those weapons are created also for surgical strikes in urban areas.  

Thermobaric explosives are giving them also large kill-radius. And that kind of weapon is hard to detect if they are dropped from the stealth planes. The high accuracy of those weapons is making them also capable to make surgical strikes against enemy leaders or some other persons. So the SDB can knock-out vehicles from the city area without secondary losses if that weapon uses an aimed warhead where the explosion is aimed in a certain direction.

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...

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...
