Intelligent rounds are making guns more lethal than ever before

The PGF (Precision guided firearms) is the newest military technology in the world. The new integrated circuit technology along with the fast programming ability are turning even the rifle and pistol caliber ammunition into smart guided projectiles. And that will increase the firepower and accuracy of weapons.

Things like small guided ammunition are giving the new power for the anti-aircraft guns, and that kind of thing is making increasing the effectiveness of anti-aircraft and other kinds of systems. The intelligent weapon systems can operate along with drones and manned systems, which are pointing the targets to intelligent weapons.




The new type of "fire and forget ammunition can revolutionize the battlefield. It can use also in rifles, cannons, and aircraft cannons.

The "Tracking point" rifles are basing technology where the computer would launch the rifle and aim the bullet to target by using the laser-pointer. But it's possible to make the more advanced systems, where the rifle would input the target data to the ammunition. Which allows that the ammunition to act as the "fire and forget"mode.

The fire and forget bullet can use the miniaturized TV- or infrared camera. When the operator will point the rifle to the target, the system takes an image of it. And then that image will load to the miniaturized computer of the bullet. That allows it to fly to the target without using laser-aiming. That image can also be taken by every other digital camera and drive to the computer's memory by using remote systems. And that will guarantee the hit to target.

The smart ammunition can load to the M-61 "Vulcan" Gatling gun, which gives that cannon higher accuracy, and in some visions the 30 mm. gun ammunition of the GAU-8 "Avenger" can equip with intelligent technology. That is used in the "Tracking point" systems, which can use the automatized launch, aiming, and tracking systems along with the intelligent ammunition.

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...
