Politics and planes

 

Politics and planes

The nuclear strike capacity is the most calculated firepower on the Earth and this kind of thing are the extreme reasons, why the number of certain aircraft like stealth-bombers and nuclear-capable stealth-attack planes is limited. The way of think in this kind of case is that if some nuclear force is too dominating, that thing would addict to "push the button", and that means that the nuclear strike force must have the opposite force. 

And the idea is that the military threat, what is outside the borders keeps the military force busy, and that way to think keeps the world stable because of military rebellion would cause that foreign forces would start to attack against those troops because they want to eliminate that threat. So this might be the reason, why the military forces have not taken control of Russia or the USA during the Cold War era. But the thing is that public use of power is different than a covert way to control people. 

When we are thinking about the nuclear strike capacity, the primary role of those weapons is to threaten other nations. The nuclear shield would attack every country's very uncomfortable idea and sometimes I have thought that the North-Korean nuclear weapons are like the gift from God for the USA and South-Korea, which would argue their passive attitude to that country by afraid of their nuclear power. So is there something, what is hidden from the public in that program? 

The primary role in the traditional nuclear arsenal is the bombers and other aircraft. Idea is that when those planes are sent to mission, they can also call back, and if the military forces use the ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles)-missiles or any other nuclear missile, there would be no way to call those weapons back, but the modern technology has changed that kind of operative way to think. 

Miniature space shuttles can be used as the orbital version of FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System)

If we are thinking of the stuff like X-37B(1) and MiG-105 (2), those miniature shuttles are suitable for use as the orbital cruise missiles, which can be returned to Earth. They can send to the orbital trajectory, and if the situation requires the use of that kind of system, they can dive to target. 

Sometimes both space shuttles NASA:s shuttles(3) and Soviet "Buran" (4)have been suspected to use as the FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bobardmanent System) (5)-bombers, what can send to the orbiter and equip with those miniature shuttles. That thing allows a very fast attack against targets. There are rumors that somewhere has been created the OBS (Orbital (or Fully Orbital) Bombardment Systems), what would be the satellites, what are equipped with conventional or nuclear bombs. 

Sometimes it is suspected that Northrop-Grumman X-47B (6)has also some kind of space going version, which can be used as the stealth-version of those hypersonic missiles, which will send to orbital, and then they would attack against the targets or return to base if the mission doesn't require attack. 

Hypersonic missiles are deadly even they don't have the warheads. The kinetic energy that has released while the weapon hits the target is extremely high. If the missile hits to aircraft carrier by the speed of Mach 8, that means that the aircraft carrier would vaporize in seconds. The nuclear weapon like hydrogen bomb can be taken in the cargo bay. Also, normal cruise missiles can refuel during the flight and artificial intelligence makes possible to return those weapons to base for service. 

The new robot tankers might be meant for use with those cruise missiles. That kind of system might be the normal Tomahawk missile, what has wheels under them. The thing is that cruise missiles are drones, which are equipped with nuclear and conventional warheads. 

So if we want to equip the drones like Predator with a nuclear warhead we could create the device, what can orbit above the battlefield and then explode their warheads. One suspected weapon, what might have this kind of system is X-47B, which can be equipped with the nuclear bomb, which can either drop to target or detonate internally. 

This kind of system is highly classified, but those platforms would be suitable for that kind of mission. And the thing is that this kind of system can send to the attack by using various platforms. They can use regular runways, aircraft carriers or shoot to space with a rocket. And then those missiles or drones can dive to the target with hypersonic speed.

Being smart or being wise that's the problem

Being smart or being wise that's the problem

Almost every time, when we are talking about wisdom, we are facing the proverb, that the smart person would survive from troubles, but the wise man would not ever go in those troubles, but is wise man smart? And what actually is wisdom? Is wisdom the thing, that we would grow a beard, and sit in some chair, and tell many things, what doesn't mean a thing? 

Or is the wisdom only the ability to double check everything, before we would do something? Sometimes the wisdom is mentioned only as of the way to say, that elder person is smart. So the smart young inmate is an only smart and smart old person is wise because that would tell people, about the respect of that elder person.

Smart is the world, which means the young person, who uses glasses, and make things, what sometimes are successful and sometimes not, and the wise man is the master, who supervises the work, and the reason, why master doesn't make mistakes is, that the master would not make practical work in that precise project. But in the process, what made that person the master, that master has someday before being the young student, who made mistakes. And mistakes are teaching the person.

But we can think, that states are also persons, and mistakes are teaching also states and state leaders about things, what they should not do. This is why we have national archives, that the results of the decisions can found from those files. So archives are the memory of the nations. Every person in the world are making mistakes, and if the person has a large working area, that means that mistakes have large scale influence, if they are made by the leader of the state.

And here we can continue to think about the wrong decision, and ask who is responsible that the wrong person is working as the leader of the state? The head of the state might be awful, but the thing is that regular persons have given their votes and support for that person, and that is the thing, what we must remember. They have allowed that person being the head of the state, and that's it. 

But when we are thinking about things like nuclear weapons, and the scientists, who have made those things, we are always facing the question, that who made decisions to get those weapons. And then we might make another induction thought, and ask, "should we get everything, what somebody can do"? If we see something nice in the shop, should we get that thing? That's another way to ask, should the military always get and produce everything, what science can give to those organizations?

And in this case, we must realize, that persons, who are creating weapons and make another kind of science are working for the governments, who pay their salaries. They must dare to say, people, if some weapon or equipment is too effective. And then we are facing the situation, that military commanders want always minimize their own losses, what makes war so brutal.

But those men are trained to make decisions what costs the life of own side or another side, and that commander might rather want to see that every loss of human lives happens on another side. After that, this man or woman can tell the president that the mission was successful and own losses were minimum. This satisfies the political leaders, and that's it.

That is the philosophy, why some weapons are getting in the arsenal. But the problems are the non-lethal weapons, what are making the conflicts more complicated and increase the will to use weapons against the opposite side. One of those non-lethal weapons is the opiate bomb. That bomb would stun the targets, and then the own troops can collect the guns away without human casualties. 

But also psychological weapons are very effective, and that means, in theory, the people on the opposite side would incite to rebel by using satellites, what are pushing air molecules by using electromagnetic radiation. That would allow creating the large-area virtual loudspeaker, which can cover the entire country.

The electromagnetic radiation would push the air molecules and cause the silent noise, which would be really influential to the people if that would continue a long period, and repeats the message simultaneously. If the targeted persons don't know about that kind of systems they are even more influential, and if it is using many weeks or months, that would cause interesting reactions in the mind of those people.

The passive visual STEALTH-system

The passive visual STEALTH-system


There would be the passive solution for that kind for the STEALTH technology, what makes objects invisible for the radar, infrared and even for human eye, and that technology bases the "U"-shaped optical fibers, and the idea is simple: those small optical fibers would turn the light back to the observer's eyes in the same frequency and power as they hit the body or the thing, what wanted to hide. That thing would work also with the radars, and the idea is basically the same. The "U"-shaped arrays would turn the entire radar radio transmits back to the target, and it would cause that this system would make object absolutely invisible.

That kind of system can installed also in the flexible materials and allows to make the tale of the invisible man true. And maybe in the world of tomorrow, this kind of technology is making military and law enforcement invisible for other people. Also, this kind of technology would make Laser weapons ineffective against the object, because it turns the energy away from the object, and if the core is also cooled the lasers would be less effective than against normal target. The cooling system can also be used to decrease the infrared signature of the object, what can be some jet fighter, ship, vehicle or even single man. This kind of mask would be effective in the hands of snipers and other military officials.

The thing in the visual stealth is that can be made in two ways, another is to make the aircraft like transparent by using the cameras, what are delivering their images to screens, what is installed another side of the object, and the screens make it acting like transparent, and if those screens are on both side that would allow making the visual detection of that vehicle very difficult. The infrared jammers would operate in a simple way, the system just decreases the temperature of the core of the object, and that would make it difficult to see by using the thermal image, and this system might operate that the core of the object will conduct the liquid or air, what will transfer the temperature away from the core, and that thing makes it difficult to see by the Infrared camera.

And another way to make the aircraft or any other object STEALTH is to use the similar electromagnetic radiation, with the same frequency and the same power, what it hits the target, and this way is just the same when the two waves are hitting together in the same power. That would suppress the waves, and they cannot jump back to the eye of the observer, but this kind of technology is difficult to handle in practical solutions because in the real situation every wavelength must be suppressed separately, and this makes creating the functioning system, what bases the LED-lights difficult to make. The nanosize Led-lights might be useful in that action, but the active system must cover the entire visual area of the electromagnetic spectrum. And it makes difficult to make practical solutions in that area.

The short tale about ASAT anti-satellite weapons.

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The developing ASAT-weapons is a little-known thing in space programs. The newest technology is actually developed for microwave bombs, which would destroy the targets very sharply. The systems are acting different ways but the main idea is to terminate the satellite by using the method, which keeps its core in one piece. That eliminates the debris from that trajectory, and it would save the own satellites from the damages. In the 1960s there were testing the nuclear weapons, which will make all satellites, what is at the orbiting trajectory unable to operate, but the problems of the plasma caused that this kind of weapons was not created, because they would destroy both side satellites, and that would mean end of the GPS systems and other things.

The developing the anti-satellite weapons have been beginning from the cold-war era. During that time there were made ASAT test by the Soviet Union and the USA by using kinetic energy weapons, what based satellites, that were collated with together. And some experiments were made by using machine guns and that kind of things. The recoilless weapons like bazookas and other kinds of things are also tested because the recoil of the machine guns are causing that the trajectory of the satellite would be disturbed.

And that's is a very problematic thing in ASAT missions. One of the most interesting things about the weapons that are developed for the killer satellites is a so-called centrifuge gun, what will be the rotating layer, where is dropped the metal balls. The layer would throw the metal ball with speed, which is the same as the layer will rotate. This kind of weapons is very interesting because they would be installed in the other satellites and use for the self-defense systems. Another very interesting solution would be the "Trophy" system, what is installed in the tanks, and this system can be used in the satellites as the rotating gun turret, what will destroy incoming objects and also it can be used in the offensive purposes.

MAV:s (Miniature Aerial Vehicles)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

MAV:s (Miniature Aerial Vehicles) are the most capable vehicles in the battlefield and other danger zones like in the areas of nuclear fallout. Those simple but large number of aerial vehicles can be very capable in the many missions. Of course MAV:s can also have wheels below them or they can walk with feet, what looks like the feet of the bugs, and that capacity would allow them to slip in from the small holes in the wall and ventilation tubes.

The computer system of those drones would calculate the certain point of the rotating propeller of the ventilation, and then slip in between the wings of the propeller. Those MAV:s can operate autonomously if they would connect their computers together by using WLAN or BlueTooth, and they can get very much calculating power for their operations. The MAV:s can have numerous shapes, and they can look like pencils, pastilles, tinderboxes, mobile telephones, and microchips. In fact, they might look like some dropped candy, and the agent would drop it from the pocket.

The MAV can be controlled from another side from the Earth, and this is, why it is very useful for spy missions. The MAV:s can be installed on the layer of the microcircuit, and they might slip in the military bases or some highly secured areas as playing the part of the microcircuit. Then they would be released from the layer, and they can fly across the enemy or opposite side base.

Those systems might have miniaturized inertial navigation, which allows them to operate in the EMP-protected spaces, and if they would not get the satellite connection, they can fly back to the point, where the satellite's radio signal is visible and send their data. Those systems might be extremely lethal if they are used in the assassination missions.

If those systems are equipped with explosives or nerve-gas, they can make serious damages to command centers. In some scenario, those MAV:s are equipped with tanks of acid, what they can deliver to the microcircuits. Or they can have things like miniaturized FAE bombs. In this scenario, those vehicles can be equipped with tanks, what is filled with the same gas, what is used in cigarette lighters, and that thing can be used to create miniaturized aerosol explosive.

If those drones would operate only in the reconnaissance mission, in the EMP-protected areas they can use inertial navigation or miniaturized gyroscopes for navigating themselves to the area, where they can deliver their data to the satellites.  After delivering their information, that is stored in flash-memories those tiny robots can go back inside the space, and continue to collect the data.

MAV:s can get their electricity from the loading point, what might be in the place, where they have been carried inside, but they might also be covered by silicone layer, what will make electricity straight from the light. The small size robots like MAV:s can also be equipped with a similar system, what is used in the self-loading watches. So the operator must only shake the MAV, and it would get the electricity, just like some kinetic motion loadable wristwatch.

They might have also many other energy sources, and those systems can get their electricity from high-power radio waves, or they might use fuel cells to operate. In this case in the operation area would deliver the hydrocarbon bottles what are filled with spree, and those MAV:s can fill the tanks by using alcohol as fuel. The plutonium batteries, what is used in pacemakers would be very interesting, but the problem is, that those small-sized RTG:s can be used to produce dirty nuclear weapons or pollution bombs, and that's why this kind of power source is not very useful.

The MAV:s can be delivered to the operation areas from aircraft, artillery shells or they can be delivered from satellites and carried in the pockets of the agents. They can communicate with headquarters by using modified GPS-systems, which can also be used for locating this thing.  Those MAV:s or MAV swarms can be equipped with sophisticated sensors. Even if one MAV can use one sensor type, the swarm can have different types of MAV:s. Against those MAVs can be operated by using high power radio signal, which denies them to communicate together. And the similar ECM-systems, what is used for jamming the radars can disturb the communication between those robots.

In those cases, the drones must be re-synchronize by setting a new channel for their radio transmitters that they can re-connect together. They should use self-adjusting radios for communication. In this system, one of those drones would send the signal, what makes the other adjust their WLAN systems to another channel if the signal would be weak.  Also, EMP-weapons like microwaves and high power radio bursts can be effective against drone swarms, and the last ones have no effect against humans.

In the wildest dreams NASA would send the swarm of MAV:s to search the atmosphere and surface of the other particles in the solar system. A large number of the RTG-powered RPV:s can be delivered in the atmosphere of Titan or some other planet or moon. They can search for the large areas of the planet or moon, and because there is a large number of independent robots in the atmosphere of the other planet, the loss of one of those robots would not risk entire mission.

In God we trust, others we monitoring

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Over the Baltic Sea are one of the most populous airspaces for reconnaissance and intelligence aircraft. Those multimission aircraft are collecting visual and electromagnetic data from the opposite side systems, and also one of the most important shipyards of the Russian Navy is ashore of the Baltic sea. The intelligence aircraft are collecting acoustic data from the sound, what those surface ships and submarines are sending, while they are going in the test drive. The mission of the intelligence is warning about the actions of the opposite side, and give time for own troops to react the hostile attempts.

And the Baltic area is one of the most important areas of the scenarios, where Russia begins invasion to Europe. In this scenario, the Russian naval vehicles would launch cruise missiles to the targets what locates in Denmark and Germany. In those attacks would be used the new "Kalibr" missiles, what is effective against surface warships and land targets like airbases. The new Russian frigates have those missiles on board as well as most of its submarines can use those new missiles.

The ground-based IRBM systems are been prohibited in the paper, but when the contract of those weapons is unraveled, the weapon systems like Tomahawk can be installed to the ground-based launchers. The Tomahawk missile is problematic because it can be launched from the standard BQM-119 drone launcher, and this makes the system very effective. Those target-drones are easy to the convent as missiles by just installing warheads to them. And that's why those missiles are very problematic in the eyes of international law. The similar system in Russia is SS-N-21, which is used in the same purposes as Tomahawk.

When we are talking about the naval cruise missiles, the reason why those weapons are most often installed precisely on board of the ships is that they are well protected in those platforms. That means that harming those systems by ground troops attack is very difficult and the secrets of those weapons are not leaking even to the other friendly nations. Shipborne cruise missiles are easy to send any operative areas around the world, and because they are far away from the coastline,  they cannot be captured by the tank- or commando attack.

If the cruise- or ballistic missile launcher is located, that target can be destroyed by airstrike and even the normal rifles are dangerous for missiles, what have no protection, but the thing is, that the missile launcher must first be located, before the attack against it is possible. The mission of the recon planes is to locate those launchers if they are placed near the borders of friendly nations or in the strike radius from the important targets.

The predator suit

Kimmo Huosionmaa

In the modern battlefield, the modern military equipment must stand the heat and fire, and those suits might be covered by miniature screens, what makes person transparent. When the cameras are taking images from the other side of the person, the other side can form the image, what makes a person act like chameleons. This technology would make a person become one with the background, what makes the locating that combatant very difficult.

And then the suits can be equipped with the tubes, where is circling the water, what will make feeling more comfortable. The helmets of those next-generation warriors might be equipped with the data screen, what will be controlled like the thing, what Stephen Hawking used for creating the speech. This next-generation warrior can be used that screen to control small-size drones, what would make some movie-stuff real. Also, those helmets, what might look like some kind of motorcycle helmets, might have an air-cleaning system, what will recycle air through the active carbon filters, and this system would be effective also in the cases of nuclear fallout.

Drone technology can make the ninja-stars very effective. And those high-tech ninja-stars are actually the miniaturized helicopters. The predator-suit may have the weapon, what might aim by drawing a cross on the air by using data gloves. And the weapon could be MAC-10 sub-machine gun what is installed in the rucksack with a computer, what is used for aiming the gun, but of course, the high-energy weapon like a laser can be used. The laser would be actually in the back of the warrior, and the optical fibers would transfer the light to the laser. Aiming for the gun might also happen by motion or infrared detectors, and image recognizers, what shoot any target what IFF signal is negative.
