The QRIP or Quick Reaction Instrumentation Package can make the F-35 even more effective.

Lockheed Martin F-35 "Lightning II"

The football-sized device called  Quick Reaction Instrumentation Package or QRIP can store data from F-35. And then, that system can use for the R&D process at both technical and tactical levels. The AI can analyze this data and scale adjustments that the AI needs to make the system, even more, better across the F-35 fleet. And that data can use to increase the effectiveness of cooperation with other units like the navy and ground forces. 

That kind of instrument can put also in the "loyal wingman" or some other "trap drone" whose mission is to record the data about enemy reactions. The purpose of trap drones is to make the enemy affect the incoming attacks and record things like radar signals and enemy communication. 

The trap drone sends that data to the F-35 and then the AI can adjust the jammer systems to the most effective level. Things like intelligent radar systems that are giving counter-waves can improve the survivability and mission success of those attack aircraft. The QRIP systems can also send information about the most effective weapon systems. And also if something goes wrong and the missile or ammunition hits to F-35 the QRIP can share data on what went wrong. And other F-35s can adjust their trajectories and altitudes.

AI can make many things better than humans. 

When we are thinking about AI and things like warfare AI can analyze very fast what made wrong. And then it can create new trajectories and closing profiles. But the thing that this kind of system requires is that humans must dare to take orders from the AI. AI is created for humans. And humans should be over AI. But for making successful operations. The system requires that humans follow orders that are from the AI. And that thing is difficult for somebody. 

When we are thinking how effective thing AI can be. We must put ourselves in the position where we are following the orders of the AI. There is the possibility that chess players can win games by using AI. In that case, the AI gives instructions to the player on what is the next move. In that case, the AI can follow the game by using a camera and then say the next move to the player. 

The AI can communicate with the player by using wireless headphones or an LRAD (targeted sound) system. But that requires that people and AI will turn their roles upside down. The human must take orders from AI. And that is difficult to understand. But AI can make new tactics and fix the errors that humans are making. If something goes wrong the AI requires all information about that thing. And if the AI can get all possible information it can fix the error immediately.

The brain-controlled robots are not science fiction anymore.

The idea of the BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) is taken from the biomechanic prosthesis. That gives people the ability to control prostheses by using neural signals. The modern versions of that prosthesis are using WLAN or Bluetooth communication. 

And that means the electrodes of those advanced systems are under the skin. There are no external wounds in that kind of system. And the transmitter gets its electricity from similar batteries that are used in pacemakers. Or the more futuristic systems can use neuro-electricity as an energy source. 

Paralyzed people can control their wheelchairs by using the BCI (Brain-Computer Interface). The key in the brainwave control robots is simple. The user of the robots uses those systems through a computer. 

BMI (Brain-Machine Interface) requires the BCI to operate. And teaching the BCI can happen by simulation. The key for those systems is that the computer must recognize the EEG that the brain sends at certain moments. 

And, the simulations can teach the BCI to connect the BCI to a certain action. The requirement for the perfect BCI system is that the computers know what kind of brain waves the brain sends when it wants to do something. 

Those BCI systems development is not as difficult as people normally think. The developers can use simulators as an example, a driving simulator where the person drives by using a virtual device. The computer will record those brainwaves while the person uses this machine. 

There are three stages in that process. 

*The driver will control the virtual device by using regular controls. And the system will record the EEG in those moments.  The system connects that EEG to the movements of the control systems. 

When as an example driver turns the wheel or presses the gas pedal the system connects that action with the EEG. And then that record can use for making the BCI system. 

*In the next stage the controller will not use physical control systems. That means the controller can make movements but the system compiles the EEG to the records that are made in the first moment. 

*And in the last stage, that data can connect to the other vehicles. The BCI might require that person moves hands or feet. 

But the goal of that kind of development process is that the user of that kind of system requires only a helmet where the electrodes are. The system can interact with users by using HUD glasses. 

Or in the most advanced visions, the system interacts with brains by stimulating the cerebral cortex or brain core. That kind of simulation makes the robot the external body of the user. The user cannot make difference between the senses. That is coming from robots and the user's senses. 

But how to eliminate the need to move hands or feet if the person uses BCI to control things like jet fighters? In some visions, the person just is paralyzed by using chemicals. Or who cares how the person who is remote-controlling some robot moves their hands or feet?

Where are aliens hiding?

   

 Where are aliens hiding?

Above: fictional space cruiser from "Star Wars" movie

Are there other technical advanced civilizations near us?

Are there other technical advanced civilizations near us? That is one of the biggest questions we ever faced. There are no official contacts with aliens and the rest are purely hypothetical thoughts and models. 

But there is the possibility that SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) will make contact tomorrow. Or maybe it takes thousands of years for taking confirmed signals from the other civilizations. 

Tools like the James Webb telescope and quantum computers are the most powerful tools ever been used for that kind of mission. The James Webb telescope can find the Earth-size planets orbiting other stars. But the main role in the SETI program plays radio telescopes. The requirement for making contact is that also aliens are using similar technology with us. 

We don't even know if the aliens have radio telescopes? And what frequencies they are listening to. Getting that information requires contact with aliens. And without that information is very hard to make contact. There are no confirmed alien signals so everything we write and talk about intelligent alien civilizations is purely hypothetical and theoretical discussions. 

What if advanced civilizations use unmanned automatic operating probes. Which are controlled by very advanced AI for interstellar missions? 

The answer is that nobody knows. Officially there is no evidence of intelligent alien civilizations. But there are many forms of how those civilizations can exist near us. One of the possibilities is that there could be probes that other civilizations sent. But this is only a theory or theoretical model of how to travel to stars. At first, there would send robots to find out suitable locations. 

The thing is that if aliens use robots that are controlled by artificial intelligence, they must not worry about flight times and other kinds of problems. The journey between stars could take even millenniums. 

And those probes would send data to their senders. That thing requires technology that makes craft able to fix itself. The problem is that the sender can forget those probes if there is some kind of internal problem like the war on their planet. 

Why the Wow!-signal(captured, August 15, 1977) and BLC-1 (captured, December 18, 2019) signals are unique?

The origin of BLC-1 (Breakthrough Listen Candidate 1) Remains a mystery. Things like broken computers are seeming good, but the problem is why those things that are causing that kind of things are not happening before. 

Same way, why have some high-energetic particle impacts with radio waves from Proxima Centauri haven't cause that kind of signal before? Or if the source of those signals is alien transmitting, why do those transmissions not repeat? The same thing that thing supports both theories. Why do those signals BLC-1 and Wow! are unique? 

Both natural and alien source theories can explain that thing. But there is some extraordinary in the structures of comets. That is mentioned as the source of the Wow!-signal from 1977. If the comets are the source of that signal there is the possibility that there was some kind of unique layer in those comets. 

Technical advances aren't forming without intelligence and motivation. 

The creature can be very intelligent. But that thing doesn't mean that it makes technical equipment. For creating new technical equipment. Intelligence requires motivation, tools, and knowledge on how to make something.

If that intelligence doesn't have the needed information the intelligence can ask that thing from something. or it can start to search answers for testing ad study the suitable solutions for making a new car or interstellar spacecraft. 

Three major things are dominating the R&D (research and development processes. 

1) Level of intelligence

2) Information that intelligence uses for the project. This part includes skills and systems what the project requires. 

3) And motivation. There must be time and other resources for completing the project. 

The thing is that intelligence is not the same thing with technical advances. Intelligence makes technical advances possible. But research and development (R&D) don't happen without motivation. 

The thing is that the lack of information means that there is a lack of stimulus. And creature requires stimulus for creating new solutions. Outcoming information creates motivation for creating new technology. 

If there is no motivation or will to get knowledge about something. When we think of that intelligence and advances are the same things. 

We are wrong about that thing. Intelligence makes it possible to create technical advances. But that requires motivation and will to get knowledge of how to make technical solutions. In the case that we want to make contact with civilization by using radio telescopes. That civilization must also have radio telescopes. 

When we write about possibilities to communicate with other civilizations we should rather say. "Communicate with other technical advanced civilizations". That communication requires that the civilization has similar communication equipment with us. And the thing is that even if that hypothetical civilization has the radio communication equipment. 

That thing doesn't mean the hypothetical civilization uses similar radio telescopes that we use. The thing is that without contact we cannot know how to communicate with aliens. And without that knowledge, we cannot make contact. There are a couple of promising signals and the only problem is that they are not repeating. The same thing that makes them promising makes them also uncertain. 

If the source of those signals would be a star these signals like Wow! and the 2019 signal from Proxima Centauri known as BLC-1 (Breakthrough Listen Candidate 1)would be a star they should be repeating. But because those signals were unique. That thing also supports the origin of those signals in chemical or electrochemical reactions. But it's also evidence against "natural source". The question is why that reaction happens only once?

The source of BLC-1 has been explained as the plasma impact or some other type of high-energetic particle impact that could disturb radio signals. But again the question is why that signal ever happened again? And why have similar things are not seen before? There is given also an exploration that a broken computer can give that signal. But the question is why that kind of effect has not been seen before?

The solar system itself is inhabited. But the thing is that there is the possibility that some kind of probe could send that signal. But is the position of the probe at Proxima Centauri. Or is it manmade and closer than we think? The fact is that nobody knows what caused that signal that was received in Parkes observatory on 18 December 2019. 

If the source of the Wow!-signal was in comets why did those comets send those signals only once? Was there some unique layer of material that sent that 72 seconds radio transmission to the Big Ear telescope in Ohio sate university? 

That thing means that their source could be some kind of reaction in AREA-51 or some other research plant. And they were formed. When some exotic materials are stressed. By using electromagnetic radiation. If aliens send those signals why they don't repeat them? So the source of those signals is unknown. 

Maybe in the case of the Wow! signal it was some kind of comet, but why do other comets not make similar effects. And why do those comets send that kind of signal only once? That is the thing why the source of those strange signals is unknown.

The barren plateaus problem and intelligence

   

 The barren plateaus problem and intelligence

The lack of stimulation is the thing that causes loss of the motivation for create new things. 

What if we would live all of our life on that lone island. Which portrait is above this text without a single contact with other people? Without the internet and other connections, we would not even know about the existence of other humans and things like meteorites and tsunamis. Would we in that case build things like spacecraft? 

This is one version of Barren plateaus problem. Because we think that we are alone. And because of that, we have no stimulus or motivation to make new things.  Without information, we don't recognize risks. And risks are the things that motivate us to create new technical solutions. 

When we are thinking about intelligence, we must remember that intelligence is not enough. When we want to create technology. We also need motivation for research and development. 

In most cases, the reason for termination of some technical advances or ideas is that somewhere is always some other objectives for the resources that some project needs? One of the resources is, of course, time. When we are doing something, we need to reserve time for that thing. And if we find something. That is more important there is no time for the first thing. 

The Game theory can answer why there are so few intelligent civilizations.

The game theory claims that all organisms are maximizing their benefit. That is the thing that unites but it also scatters the society. If the organism feels that the benefit for society is higher than the benefit of the individual organism would fight for a common goal. In most cases, the reason why individual actors forget their benefit is a threat. That comes outside. Or the threat that requires combining forces. That threat can be an incoming meteorite, hostile actor, or some kind of natural disaster. 

Those things are made possible that the entire society connects forces for reaching the united goal. That goal can be destroying the attacker or building a better irrigation system. But then for some reason, the individual actors are starting again to value their benefit higher than the benefit of society. There must be some motivation for developing new technology. In the intensive world of the military sitting on a chair is a destructive thing. 

While the western world believes that old technologies would be enough to give resistance against hostile actors the Chinese developed a great number of new weapons. Those weapons like hypersonic cruise missiles are impressive. And at the same time serious reminder that the world is always changing. Who would believe ten or fifteen years ago that someday Chinese would be the leading nation in quantum technology? 

What kind of thing could motivate to build an interstellar spacecraft? When does some civilization want to put all of its resources into creating interstellar spacecraft? 

That kind of case can be an outcoming attack. But when peacetime comes the personal benefit displaces the benefit of the entirety. So if the civilization would sit alone in a place where it has no outside contacts it would not see a need to develop interstellar technology. 

The outcoming threat connects people. And it motivates to create new solutions for challenging enemies. But then those innovations are forgotten. 

The thing is the same with the barren plateau problem. If the organism has lived all the time in some desert oasis without any social contact that creature believes in being alone on the Earth or some other planet. A similar case would be that organism has lived its entire life at the lone island at the ocean.

Organism feels that there is no other threat to paradise than sharks and flows in the ocean.  That means our organism would just lay on the sand and eat bananas that are dropping from the trees. There is nothing that can treat that organism. So why must that organism make anything for getting out from that island? 

There might be some materials for the boat. But because that island or oasis gives everything for that organism.  There is no need to build the boat or that is how the organism feels that thing. The organism would not know anything about Tsunami or any other threats like the tribes at the island about 1000 kilometers away. They do not exist for the organism that has lived on its island all of its life.

The lack of motivation is the reason why that organism would not build a boat. "There is nothing anyway". This is the excuse why that organism spends all the time eating bananas and looking at the clouds. For similar reasons, humans are not making interstellar spacecraft. We have no place to travel. 

There is no contact with aliens. So we don't need that kind of project. That is the reason why many things are resting at the level of the paper. And one thing that limits our ability to create that kind of thing is we have only our thoughts. 

We cannot exchange ideas with some other species that might have different opinions or points of view on those projects. But when we are thinking about the first contact. That thing might be our greatest threat. But at the same time, that thing can be the greatest opportunity for the human race.

In some scenarios that thing will unite humans. The outcoming threat is always united nations. And that thing can happen also if we find alien civilization. 

What if there are two intelligent alien races in the same solar system? In that case, the cultural and technological exchange between species could enrich the social and other kinds of environment. In that model, the species would not destroy each other.

What would be the EIS and what makes this kind of things interesting?

What would be the EIS and what makes this kind of things interesting?

EIS(1) (Everywhere International SME:s) means one of the most interesting things in research and development or R&D. SME:s (Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises) (2) is one of the most effective methods to make the R&D effective. The small size enterprises are offering a good forum and environment for research projects. 

That kind of environment is helping to keep the project team motivated and the secrets inside the house, by using this model where the company is multiple cell companies nobody can slip in the group without somebody noticing that thing. Also, the team would not have unnecessary bureaucracy, but when we are thinking this kind of research in large-sized companies, we must remember that the company can create an auxiliary business name for new projects. Or it can establish the sub-company, which is fully owned by it. 

This type of cell model company is very safe if we are thinking about information security. And the cell-model helps cover the information, what is not wanted to give for the great audience. That means that the workers, who are working with confidential projects must not carry ID-cards or use computers, which can connect them with certain companies. 

So, in this case, the worker or even the big chief cannot connect themselves to companies like Lockheed-Martin, and that thing helps them keep things secure. And that thing also keeps them safe, if they must land to the hostile land, and in this case, the hostile actors cannot connect them anything secret. 

But what we need in that case, if the company works in a multinational environment? We need the thing, what teaches things to those people very fast. And that kind of technology, which allows a person to learn things like foreign languages in a very short period. The same method can be used to teach other things like engineering skills or military tactics. 

The most intensive way to learn things 

The most effective way to learn things is to involve as many neurons as possible in that process. And this thing is under research because in business life and intelligence world needs to create things like linguistic skills as fast as possible. So if the person has 24 hours to learn the new language, how people should work in that case? 

Would you think this kind of thing is impossible, and even that thing is possible, those kinds of methods are really dangerous. They affect straight to the nervous system and multiple areas at the same time. So if something goes wrong that thing could cause horrifying psychosis. And it can be used to create faked memories. 

The idea is to combinate all learning methods, what people have ever created and use them at the same time as a person. That thing would contain the subliminal voice, very fast flap images and electromagnetic stimulation to brain core. Also, the nerve tracks of hands can be used to give stimulation to the person. This thing would be the ultimate version of virtual reality. So this kind of thing would contain things, what some people would want to keep in secret.
