The new hypersonic missiles will install into the Zumwalt-class destroyer USS Michael Monsoor.


USS Zumwalt



All three Zumwalt-class destroyers are getting new and powerful hypersonic missiles.  Those missiles have a speed of Mach 5+. And they have a very long range, says the article in the Eurasian Times. The installation of those new hypersonic missiles means that the advanced 155mm. gun turrets are removed and replaced by hypersonic missile tubes. The details about that modification are in the article below this text. 

The world is waiting for new lightweight and portable super- and hypersonic systems. Military forces can install those hypersonic systems in vehicles like main battle tanks. Or they can even be man-portable. 

The new hypersonic systems can shoot dummy or intelligent ammunition. And they are the most powerful systems in the world. 

Hypersonic systems are not always missiles. They might be things like rail guns. And maybe the next stage in hypersonic weapons is the guided hypersonic ammunition for artillery. Railguns can accelerate artillery grenades to very high speed. And maybe, somebody already tests the scramjet-driven grenades or artillery shells that speed is over Mach 5. 

The railgun technology makes it possible to create a small-caliber, fast-sooting gun that can use against airborne and surface targets. The thing is that the railgun technology makes a standard iron-hearted .50 caliber bullet devastating if its speed rises over Mach 6. The same system can shoot guided ammunition like "intelligent bullets" to the targets. And the railgun systems can shoot even individual persons from extremely long ranges. 

These kinds of systems are the next-generation tools for the military. The railguns can accelerate even regular rifle bullets to a speed that is many times higher than Mach 1. The speed of famous GAU-8 "Avenger" ammunition is Mach 1,5. So if the speed of the bullet is Mach 3- or higher. That thing makes also rifle-caliber guns powerful against at least light armor. 

Nanotechnology, along with new and powerful power sources makes it possible to create lightweight and powerful magnetic systems. Those magnetic accelerators can install also to the silencers of regular rifles. And that thing increases the speed of the bullet very high. If that kind of bullet has a uranium core, that thing gives it the ability to destroy almost all kinds of targets.

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...
