The new midget submarines are interesting tools for civil and military purposes.



Image 1:) The XL-AUV. 

The XL-AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) is an undersea drone that dives 6000 meters. The size of this drone is about the same as the bus, and it might use some kind of fuel cells as a power supply or a small nuclear reactor. The system is quite similar to the Russian "Poseidon"  or Status-6 torpedo, but the XL-AUV is a multipurpose tool. 

The XL-UAV can have a cargo bay where operators can put their equipment. And the XL-UAV can operate for military and civil purposes. The system uses the body that allows water to inside it. And that thing allows it to dive deeper than many other systems. The XL-AUV can carry equipment or a nuclear detonator in the same cargo bay. So it's the western response to the Russian Poseidon torpedo.

The nuclear-powered robot submarines can carry torpedos or missiles outside their body. And nuclear power makes their operational range virtually unlimited. The base of those systems is in a German "Neger" (Image 2) miniature submarine and a British midget submarine called "Chariot". (Image 3)

The problem with that system was the limited range. Also, those manned torpedos' materials and requirements for the crew, were not so advanced that they could be safe. In WW2 the British combat divers tried to put timed mines into the body of other submarines. And the Chariot vehicles are giving innovation in that the miniature submarines can host also robots. 

But the advanced artificial intelligence. Nuclear power makes those systems very multipurpose. Automatized robot submarines can carry civil or military personnel in their missions. The crew can stay in the cabin and the highly automatized systems will transport them. The miniature nuclear-powered submarines can travel over the ocean. They are hard to detect. And if miniature submarines are equipped with torpedos. Those systems can cause a threat to all other submarines and surface ships.

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 story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...
