Shield AI successfully coordinated three Lockheed-Martin 3V-BAT drones as a team.

 Shield AI successfully coordinated three Lockheed-Martin 3V-BAT drones as a team. 


This kind of experiment might not seem very impressive. The fact is this: the ability to control ultimate situations requires full cooperation between manned and unmanned systems in and over operational areas. The new systems require new tactics and countertactics. Drones have shown their capacities in the Ukraine war. 

And especially, cheap cardboard drones are the tool that requires new types of counteractions. Those drones are hard to detect, and they can be loaded onto vans or even garbage trucks. Then the patrol can slip to the strike distance from the airbase. 

Cardboard drones are cheap next-generation tools. They predict the next-generation military thinking. There are two routes in military systems. The first route is expensive manned systems. Those systems use quantum stealth and sophisticated systems.

They are flying with high supersonic or hypersonic speed if they are aircraft. The other routes are cheap and more limited drones whose mission is to search targets for those manned systems. Some drones have only one sensor like an IR camera and they can be used to find targets for ground attack aircraft. 

In future tactics, the ground attack aircraft wait for their target position behind their air defense. And then they strike at very high speed. Modern air defense causes situations in which ground attack aircraft cannot patrol near enemy lines as before. So the drones can search for targets for them. Same way drones can take off air defense missiles and pull missile fire against them. 

Commanders can use cheap and simple systems such as decoys. And one mission of those decoy drones is to protect the manned systems. Those decoy drones force the enemy to shoot them. And as attacks against power plants are shown none of those drones can let to fly to their targets. That can be used as mass swarms. They can fly above operational areas and send information to their commanders. And when their fuel ends, the drone can make a kamikaze attack against Target. Or make deep penetration strikes. The 3D printer systems can make those drones even from recycled materials. 

The AI can control those systems and it improves its survivability. The AI is a game changer in both offensive and defensive systems. The AI itself is cheap. The only thing that is needed is the program code. Then the system can download the AI to all systems. The AI can make even the cheapest drones effective and destructive weapons.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
