GPS is the key to next-generation military systems.



Above 1: The Vampire system

Many people think that most armored vehicles are main battle tanks (MBTs) like M-1 Abrams and "Leopard". Most of the armored vehicles are not MBTs. They are cheaper and lighter vehicles like Russian BTR-60 and "Movag Piranha", is one of the armored and weaponized cars. The thing is that things like "Javelin" and heavier "Spike" missiles are making even jeeps dangerous to at least some MBTs until there is a new invention that protects the MBT against the incoming missiles. 

Weapon development is the race between improved warheads and improved armor. If the MBT is modern it should do its mission. But if that tank is not modern and equipped with modern offensive and defensive systems it's a death trap. The thing in old-fashion technology is that is working. But if the opponents are using things like GPS-guided ammunition and recon drones with AI-based aiming and launching technologies the old-fashion systems with dummy grenades have no chance against that kind of system. 

The GPS can make any projectile and weapon system more lethal than ever before. Things like rifle grenades and even single bullets can have GPS guidance systems. The GPS can point to the person's location and when the shooter shoots the rifle grenade that GPS detonates the grenade at the perfect point above the target. 





Above 2: M982 Excalibur GPS-guided ammunition.


The smart computer-controlled sniper systems can use GPS for aiming the rifle in the right position. When a drone or something else locates the target the image in intelligent scope will position the mark at the right point and the bullet can fly precisely in the right trajectory. 

This kind of aiming- and launching system can be put in the body of that weapon. The computer will calculate the needed angle and things like sidewinding can be input to that launching system from the weather station. The same system can install into the old-fashion cannons. But also single rifle bullets can equip with control wings and a GPS. 

The VAMPIRE system can transfer any pickup to a small missile carrier. That kind of system is a good example of a new type of modular weapon kit that can install on any device. The Vampire system can be dangerous at least to lightweight infantry fighting vehicles like APC and IFV (Armored Personel Carriers/Infantry fighting vehicles) and trucks. This kind of system can also use for commando actions and they can install in manned or unmanned vehicles like robot cars. 

That kind of vehicle can operate by a remote team and it can slip near airfields and destroy the aircraft that is hanging at the airfield. But the new intelligent weapon systems are making the world more dangerous than ever. In the wrong hands, those systems are dangerous for national security. They can be used for strikes against things like fuel storage, armored cars, and electric conversation stations.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
