China develops a new submerging attack drone.

Flying submarine is coming to reality. Chinese military develops a new drone that can operate underwater and under airborne conditions. The system's weight is 7,8 tons. And it's developed with electro-optical systems, synthetic aperture radars, and antiship weapons. The wingspan of that unmanned drone is about 20 meters. 

The details of that system are: "The unmanned aircraft features a wingspan of 20.5 meters, has a maximum takeoff weight of 7.8 tons, and is capable of carrying a wide range of payloads, including electro-optic systems, synthetic aperture radar, early warning radars, electronic reconnaissance systems, air-to-ground missiles and bombs, anti-radiation missiles and loitering munitions."

The quadcopters and other drones that can operate underwater and airborne are not new. Those drones can slip into the closed area and search for interesting things. 

Recon drones can eavesdrop on buildings by using laser microphones. And film computer screens. But those drones can also be armed. They can use to destroy electronics or eliminate enemy commanders. 

Even a pizza-delivery drone can turn into a lightweight attack device very easily. The operators must replace pizza boxes with remote-operating rocket launchers. And that kind of system can offer deadly surprises. Maybe they are not so effective in the battle zone. But actors like drug cartels might use that kind of system. 

The fact is that drones are a great opportunity but they are also a big threat to security. The tinderbox-size drone can equip with small-caliber guns. And those kinds of extremely small drones are hard to detect. Operators can throw that drone from a high-flying cargo plane and that kind of system can pass the security of the targets very easily. Operators can control those drones over the internet. And they can be thousands of kilometers away from the operating zones.

Why computing is a unique thing in business and the environment?

The "open source" is the new thing in the R&D process.

The term "open source" means the use the open data where everybody has access to the development process. The data is collected from the Internet. In the next step, the developer will modify it to the product. The developer can be a single person, or it can be a group of people. 

We might say that the Internet is the great gold mine of information. It offers big data that is not sorted but freely accessible. The developer must only need the right search words for sorting the data that the developer person wants and need to get the needed data for the project. 

There is a lot of data on machinery, sciences, and especially programming. So the internet allows getting all data that people need for their programming. 

Software development benefits the "open source" of all free access information. 

The thing is that programming doesn't need anything more than skills. That means everybody can learn programming languages. And start to make programs and algorithms. That means almost everybody can turn to the developer. And if they are working in the home by using own computers outside their working time. 

Nobody even knows that they are developers. And the other thing in business architecture that makes computing unique is that it is like a "necessary but unseen" thing. So for other business architecture, the development of computing has the same position as a stepson. That means the bosses are giving orders and then the development team makes the thing that is needed. 

So the thing in computing is that it's against the standard business models. 

The standard business model is that everything is controlled from upstairs. The model is that the head of the company is giving orders and resources. And then the henchmen are making the things real. But the thing in computing is that the work that those people are making is mostly virtual. The programmer might make the code by using even Notepad, and then the programmer copy-pastes the code to the programming editor. And then that person must make the normal debugging process and remove errors. 

The thing in the R&D process of software is nobody controls that thing. The R&D in the things like artificial intelligence is self-controlled. That means the people who are ruling the business environment cannot do anything for those processes. They might kick those developers out, but they cannot make anything for the developing process itself. 

Everybody can buy their PC and make code what they want. And that means the people who are not using the computers owned by some third party. Nobody can affect to processes that are made by those computers.  The editors can be found on the internet.  

The "open source" software development is one of the most interesting things in the world. 

At the beginning of this text, I wrote that "open source" is more than some programming. The real term for "open source" development could be "open engineering". 

Many people think that "open source development" is only some kind of Linux development. The fact is that Linux development is only one part of the large sector called "open source" development. 

We should describe the "open source development" as the development where is used open literature and open Internet sources. There is lots of data on the internet that is waiting for its finders. But getting access to that data requires that we know the right words for searching those things.
