Improved armor vs. improved warhead

 

Improved armor vs. improved warhead


Tank war is the race of improved armor vs. improved weapons. When somebody created a new type of antitank weapon, new armor would create against that. The effect of the HEAT(High Explosive Antitank) warhead has decreased. And the answer is that the new and more energetic warheads are taking the place, and one of them is the hybrid thermobaric HEAT-ammunition. The other is the plasma-HEAT, where the electric system is creating extremely hot gas in the front of the ammunition. That plasma-warhead should penetrate the newest armor.

The lightweight missiles are still a nightmare. Even if the modern armor is making the HEAT-warhead less effective because the angle of the armor is trying to make the hit angle of the missile less effective. The improved weapons have a system that is trying to turn the ammunition to 90 degrees angle against the targeted layer. Artificial intelligence is a computer program and it can be loaded to the smallest possible projectiles.

The false laser-spots can turn the missiles away from the target. (How to jam laser designator Part II)

The man-portable anti-tank missiles are using a laser to point the target, and there are plans for how to jam those systems. The false laser spots would use to make the laser-guided projectiles fly in the wrong direction. And one of the methods is to make the brighter laser spot to another point. The problem is that the system that makes the faked aiming point must react very fast.

The laser-jamming system can install in quadcopters, what mission is to make the false laser spot for the missiles and other projectiles. The quadcopter can fly near the protected target, and when the system detects the aiming point of the laser-guided missile, it can make a fake spot for the incoming missile.

Also, it's possible to turn the laser light away from the target by using brighter, same frequential laser-ray with the laser designator. The brighter laser ray, which has the same frequency can turn the designator's laser ray away from the target.

The simple laser designator points the laser ray to the target that the laser-guided missile can aim at that point. Jamming of that system can do by using counter-radiation that makes the rangefinder to show that the target is closer than it is. Or for the jamming can be done by using a similar method, what is created for astronomers adjusting telescopes. In this process at the sky will create the laser star wich purpose is to help the telescope to focus its optics in the right way, that the image is clear and sharp.

If to another point than the laser pointer is targeted would create a brighter laser point that thing can make the missile turn in the wrong direction. So the laser-guided missiles and other projectiles are requiring more powerful protection against the jamming. One version is to use the system, where the laser sends the code to the target and the artificial intelligence of the missile would keep the focus to the point, which is marked with the coded laser.

Also, a coded laser is not immune to jamming. In theory, the drone or some other thing must just see the flashes of the laser ray and then copy that flashing to its laser system, which is used to make the false spot for the attacking missiles homing system. In this kind of system, the idea is to make the false target to the laser-homing missiles and other projectiles.

In some more futuristic ideas, the drone or some helicopters can turn the laser ray of the aiming system away from the target by pointing the laser ray itself by using the same frequential but more powerful laser. That thing can turn the laser ray away from the target. The problem is that the ray of the pointer laser is hard to detect, but if it is cut by using the crossing radiation, what has more power, that thing would turn the aiming radiation away from the target.

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...

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...
