New robots bring new tricks.

Robots that emulate fish are more effective than robots that are using propellers. If the robot has similar fins and tails with fish. It won't get stuck to the algae and water vegetables so easily as propellers using robots. The problem with small-size robots is that they have limited power sources. The thing is that also larger nuclear-powered submarines can have fins and structures like pike fish that kind of submarine might have stealth drive along with propellers. 

Structures that are used and tested in miniature submarines. Can turn to use in larger-scale submarines. There is also tested the cuttlefish-looking submarine construction. Those kinds of systems can use water jets for driving fast underwater. 

Then the robot can use those fins in the area where the system needs to operate accurately. Those robots can be of various sizes. And they can use to recover the material from the bottom of the oceans by using manipulator's arms. 

Those little bit spider-looking machines can use to return things like nuclear reactors and secretive things like dropped nuclear bombs in secretive missions. As well as they can use to return chemical waste or something like that. 

The flying man-shaped robots can also be modern technology. The same technology that is created for those systems can also use to lift people. The man-looking flying robots can someday research planets like Venus and Saturn moon Titan. But they can also drop to research the jungles in Papua-New Guinea. 

New technology like large-size quadcopters can use to lift people from the ground. And sometimes is tested the backpack, that has a helicopter structure. The tail rotor would be at the end of the telescope tail. And the main rotor would be in the middle of the backpack. Those kinds of systems have problems with power supply. 

So the quadcopters are easier to control. And they can be connected to the wireless game control sticks. Those systems are almost safe. Because of the battery is ended. That robot can have autorotation mode. The autorotation guarantees that the system can return to the ground safely. 

The quadcopters that are lifting humans can use to land the special operations teams to the ground. And then fly back to VTOL aircraft. The same quadcopters can also rise window cleaners to the roof of buildings. But in the same way, things like burglars can use quadcopters to lift them and their equipment to the roofs of their targets. The fact is that this kind of technology is open source. Everybody can buy a quadcopter from shops. And then the person needs only the employment skills to enlarge that system.

The AI and computer games

Computer games are offering a good platform for simulating many types of situations where  AI can involve. The game platform might contain man-controlled characters. And AI-controlled characters. 

In those cases, the system and programmers are testing the interaction between physical players and artificial intelligence. The conditions in the game area are not always similar to nature. The communication between physical players and AI is always problematic.

And the reason for that is that AI cannot flex. In the hierarchical system, those kinds of things are causing problems. The reason for that is if the AI must take commands from all human players. That thing makes those characters vulnerable. 

The games which have limited 2D gaming areas like chess are the cases where the AI is always winning humans. The reason for that is that AI ever loses focus. The rules in chess are strict. And they are easy to program for AI. Chess is a solo game where two players are playing against each other. 

But in the games where the key element is teamwork, the AI has problems. It must not react to all words that are said during communication. Otherwise, the AI must react to orders but it must separate orders from the other discussions. The 3D teamwork-based action games can use as the platforms for creating algorithms that make it possible that the robot is working as part of the team.

In the cases that artificial intelligence is operating against a human player, there are no problems. But when artificial intelligence is operating as a part of a team there is a problem. When people are communicating with each other there is always communication. That doesn't mean that the communication includes commands. 

But games are far away from real-life situations where robots and humans are acting together. In games, there is no extra noise. There is no real stress. And all things that players are saying are said clear. In real life dangers like military, high-risk law enforcement, or rescue missions. The speech of people can be unclear. 

And the things like noise and electronic countermeasures can cause problems with communication. Electronic countermeasures are the thing that makes remote control unable to operate at the war zone. So for avoiding the electronic countermeasures. The robots must operate independently. 

The microphones can use to give commands to robots. Giving voice commands is not more difficult than giving commands to humans. The system will transmit speech to the "speech to text" application. Then that text is transmitted to the computer. In this version of the command system, the keyboard is replaced by the "speech to text" application.

The problem with this kind of system is that the keyboard is more accurate than some "speech to text" applications. The computer systems require precisely given commands. And if the person uses dialect or has some other problems with vocabulary the system has difficulties understanding the commands. 

In visions, the commands for robots are given by using the coded radios. This technology makes the operations safer. But that requires clear commands. In this writing, the focus is on independent operating robots. So the operators must give commands to robots similar way as they command other humans. 

Theoretically, those kinds of systems are already in use. But in real life, people are not talking like they should. So people are not compatible with computer systems.  

And the other thing is that independently operating artificial intelligence requires complicated programming code. The simplest solution is to outsource the data handling process to central computers. 

And the robot can interact with supercomputers over the internet. But in the war zone, electronic countermeasures can cut that communication channel. So the independently operating robot requires the internal supercomputer for driving complicated code. Making a compact-size man-looking robot that has internal powerful data processing unit is complicated. And today those systems are at least partially at the theoretical level. 

That is the reason why there are projects. Which goal is to make miniaturized microcircuits and atomic-sized quantum computers. Those atomic quantum computers are the atomic clouds where atoms are acting as qubits. And miniaturized electronics are the ports that are making ports between binary and quantum systems. 

The quantum system is making the brains of the robot. And the binary system is moving its joints. In those systems, every joint in the skeleton of the robot has its independent microchip. Maybe someday those systems are real and their size is small enough that they can install in the man-size robot. But those times are far ahead in the future.

A couple of words about COVID-19

The fact is that we are doing what we are doing. We cannot know what happens if we have done something another way. And that is the only sure thing. There is no way to predict what kind of case is the new pandemic. And another fact is that we can say one thing about this pandemic. The fact is that we should update our orders and laws to answer the challenges that this kind of thing will bring somewhere in the future. 

The regulations that COVID-19 causes will remove soon. But the thing is that COVID-19 gave a lesson. And we must analyze the data that is collected from this situation. The COVID-19 gave us the lesson that even we want we are not masters of nature. We tried to remove that virus and we must say that we had 80% success. But in the case of epidemics only one "red-actor" is enough. Only one person who is infected can start the epidemics. And that makes epidemics very hard to predict. 

So when the data is analyzed. We must try to figure what was a success. What went wrong. And what we should improve for the next pandemics. The strategy could be to deny that viruses can cross the border. But in this case, that virus can cross the border.  

We must have some kind of strategy for that case. The vaccines are preventing. The vaccine requires the virus that is used to make it. And laboratories cannot produce a vaccine against every virus on Earth. Another thing is that the virus has a very high ability to transform its DNA. That means that the next pandemic virus is not possible even exists yet. 

If the antiviral medicals cannot have an effect. There is only one method for people who are already infected. That method is so-called controlled epidemics. That thing should guarantee that there is enough nursery capacity for infected people. 

Maybe the next virus is uprising and are we wiser? The fact is that pandemics might turn more common when people are traveling to exotic countries. Things like artificial intelligence can try to predict what kind of virus or threat is coming next. And we can comfort ourselves that most of the viruses that are transferring between individuals through the air are coronavirus. 

The two-layer membrane and complicated structure are making the spread of the virus slower than deadlier filovirus. The filovirus is not transferring so long-distance as coronavirus. The problem is that the DNA or RNA of the coronavirus is harder to isolate than the single-layer virus. And that makes it harder to detect the new virus population. 

And the layer antigens of the virus can be the same in the outer core with COVID-19. But the inner core of the virus has different antigens. And this means that vaccine creation is difficult against those viruses. The fact is that nobody knows what the next pandemic virus looks like. 

The AI can detect new viruses or predict the transformation of the DNA by calculating the possibilities of how the base pairs of the DNA can order. So that AI can calculate the permutation of the DNA base pairs. But the problem is that the virus DNA can have different lengths and number of base pairs. The number of base pairs can change when the virus goes through the species. And even the best AI is helpless if it doesn't have the DNA for analysis. 

The virus samples must collect systematically that the dangerous virus mutations can detect. Or the better thing would be that the transformation of the viruses can detect soon as possible. And that helps to detect the viruses that can cause epidemics. 

In the case of fast-spreading pandemics. Is very important to start vaccine production. But the effect of the vaccine must confirm and it should be strong enough. If the immune reaction is too weak that can turn the situation worse. There is the possibility that too weak an immune reaction would breed the virus variants that are more resistant than the original virus. 

The journalistic attitude to those viruses is interesting. The thing is that the stories where people are turning zombies are not very nice to read. And the worst thing in the case of pandemics is the panic. When people are starting to pack in the same space they are not able to keep safe distances. 

If there are vaccines people should take them or they mean nothing. The vaccines are like lifevests. They are effective only when people are taking them. If people do not take vaccines,  well the vaccine in the freezer does not have an effect. If there are vaccines and people don't want to use them. There is nothing that researchers can do. 

That means the virus is infecting more people than otherwise. The last thing is that there is no power of limits and orders. If people are not following orders they mean nothing. And that is the thing that we must realize when we are defending ourselves against pandemics. 

We can make nice models and simulations. But if we cannot turn them into practice those exercises and models mean nothing. Following those orders is also important. The plans might be good. But if the practice fails that means that the operation fails.

China and Russia might able to shoot down every JSTAR-aircraft in a day

E-8 Joint STAR
(Picture I)

http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.fi/p/china-and-russia-might-able-to-shoot.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The United States Air Force has faced the thing, that it's combat support aircraft like JSTAR radar aircraft are in danger, if the war begins. In here I must see one thing, what has been forgotten by those writers, who think that JSTAR has problems to accomplish their missions. Pentagon has seen those aircraft, and they also know the capacities and threats of that big four-engine aircraft, and here I must ask one question: is JSTAR actually meant to use in full-scale conflict? Some recon and intelligence platforms are operating in peacetime, but as we know that they would not the ability to survive in real war.


The same way we can say that AC-130 gunships would shoot down in the real war, where highly sophisticated forces would operate against U.S military. JSTAR is actually a radar platform, what mission is to locate underground bunkers and vehicles from the ground. The primary role for JSTAR is actually locating the vehicles by using radar, what it is quite difficult, and that system needs powerful computers to handle the data, what is collected by that radar system. In that case, the buildings, hills and other uneven parts of the ground are disturbing the radar, and hide those targets from the JSTAR-system.  JSTAR would also communicate with drones and other sensors, what are delivered to that combat area, and locate the enemies by those subsystems like Boeing Dominator or its successors.

Here I must say that those radars can also installed in any aircraft in the world, what means that B-2 or B-52 might have similar radars, what can locate enemy command bunkers. But as we might see, those four engine aircraft like JSTAR and it Russian opponent IL-18 "Coot A", are normally operate with fighter escort, and in the real world we could see that B-52 or Tu-95 "Bear" class nuclear bombers could be shot down very easily. And of course E-3 "Sentry's" and other radar surveillance platforms are good targets for anti-radiation missiles, but those platforms are used. As we know that there are always secrets, that are not told to normal people.


And somebody believes, that many of those four engine platforms are equipped with ADS (Active Denial System), what is similar to that used in tanks. That system is actually high-power microwave transmitter, what would be targeted to the incoming missiles, and the similar system is quite effective against the aircraft, what is making gun-attack against those four engine multi-mission platforms. There are rumors that next-generation Su-27 fighters have laser weapons because it would expand their strike capacity. Those microwave transmitters are targeting incoming missiles by using their infrared signature for aiming the transmitter to the target.


In some theories, those microwave transmitters can be very dangerous also for aircraft, what are using laser-weapons. The sensor detects the heat, what comes from combat aircraft laser weapons, and then targets microwave or laser ray to that plane. There is a chance to survive, if the user of active denial system has got more powerful microwaves or lasers in use, than attacking aircraft. But that is only the speculation about that kind of things.
