GPS is the key to next-generation military systems.



Above 1: The Vampire system

Many people think that most armored vehicles are main battle tanks (MBTs) like M-1 Abrams and "Leopard". Most of the armored vehicles are not MBTs. They are cheaper and lighter vehicles like Russian BTR-60 and "Movag Piranha", is one of the armored and weaponized cars. The thing is that things like "Javelin" and heavier "Spike" missiles are making even jeeps dangerous to at least some MBTs until there is a new invention that protects the MBT against the incoming missiles. 

Weapon development is the race between improved warheads and improved armor. If the MBT is modern it should do its mission. But if that tank is not modern and equipped with modern offensive and defensive systems it's a death trap. The thing in old-fashion technology is that is working. But if the opponents are using things like GPS-guided ammunition and recon drones with AI-based aiming and launching technologies the old-fashion systems with dummy grenades have no chance against that kind of system. 

The GPS can make any projectile and weapon system more lethal than ever before. Things like rifle grenades and even single bullets can have GPS guidance systems. The GPS can point to the person's location and when the shooter shoots the rifle grenade that GPS detonates the grenade at the perfect point above the target. 





Above 2: M982 Excalibur GPS-guided ammunition.


The smart computer-controlled sniper systems can use GPS for aiming the rifle in the right position. When a drone or something else locates the target the image in intelligent scope will position the mark at the right point and the bullet can fly precisely in the right trajectory. 

This kind of aiming- and launching system can be put in the body of that weapon. The computer will calculate the needed angle and things like sidewinding can be input to that launching system from the weather station. The same system can install into the old-fashion cannons. But also single rifle bullets can equip with control wings and a GPS. 

The VAMPIRE system can transfer any pickup to a small missile carrier. That kind of system is a good example of a new type of modular weapon kit that can install on any device. The Vampire system can be dangerous at least to lightweight infantry fighting vehicles like APC and IFV (Armored Personel Carriers/Infantry fighting vehicles) and trucks. This kind of system can also use for commando actions and they can install in manned or unmanned vehicles like robot cars. 

That kind of vehicle can operate by a remote team and it can slip near airfields and destroy the aircraft that is hanging at the airfield. But the new intelligent weapon systems are making the world more dangerous than ever. In the wrong hands, those systems are dangerous for national security. They can be used for strikes against things like fuel storage, armored cars, and electric conversation stations.

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
