How to aim missile to target without GPS over the wall

The development of new tanks is the race between improved defense and improved ammunition. The first version of active armor was that the tank was covered by explosive plates that would detonate the antitank shell too early before it reaches the armor.

But the new type of active protection system is more effective than those explosive plates. The active protection systems like "Trophy"(1), which is using the conventional rounds that are shot at incoming missiles have created the need to create improved missiles against tanks. There is probably microwave or laser-based solutions, what mission is to detonate the missile before it reaches the tank.

The new lightweight missiles like Rafael Spike can destroy tanks over 5 kilometers. The thing that this kind of system requires is the exact location of the target. The location of the target can get by using various recon systems. But then the missile must fly to them. The easiest way to determine the trajectory of that missile is to use GPS, but that kind of system can jam quite easily. Another way is to use an inertial navigation system, where the missile will get the location of the target, and then it would fly to it.




During the flight, the image recognition system is searching the target, and when it sees the tank or some other target, the missile will turn against it. So the system is a hybrid of the inertia (gyroscope) and IIR (Imaging Infra-Red, which means an optical system that uses the visible light and thermal camera combination. Another way is to use the quadcopters, which can deliver to an area by using various systems. The quadcopter will send the location signal to the missile.

And at the beginning of the trajectory, the missile would aim at the quadcopter. Which points to the target by using a laser designator. This kind of system can use when missiles must fly over the barrier. In this kind of scenario, the shooter cannot get straight visual contact with the target, and the aiming of the ammunition must be done by using the "unstraight" methodology.

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 ...

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...
