The cold war and beyond (Threat of the orbital bombardment)

   


Titan II


The cold war and beyond (Threat of the orbital bombardment)

The Soviet Union and Russia are not the only nations that are researching the possibility to create the orbital nuclear weapons. The new weapons are created also outside the USA and China, and when we are talking about orbital bombardment systems, every single rocket in the world can operate in that mission. So that means that orbital bombardment systems can also mount in the Ariane or every other rocket in the world. 


The thing in the military systems is that they are not like what we might want them to be. The Titan II could be used as the FOBS(1) or(Fractional Orbital Bombardment System)-system. This rocket was also used to carry satellites to the orbiter, we must realize that it was very suitable for the FOBS carrier. FOBS is an excellent weapon, which allows one to strike every target in the minutes, and this is one version of the "Big Ammo". The satellite, where is nuclear weapon can explode outside the atmosphere, and that thing causes extremely high power EMP-impulse. 


People normally think that the FOBS is always the large-size atom bomb, which has megaton class power. Also, low-yield nuclear weapons line nuclear grenades can be used as the FOBS systems. FOBS is simply the nuclear weapon, what is installed in the orbital satellite, and those weapons are a very big threat to international security, and they might put somebody to think that nuclear warfare can win like some conventional warfare. 


Nuclear grenades like "Grable"(2) might seem very small, and innocent but the truth is that the warhead itself can be multi-purpose use. The plutonium inside the grenade can be exploded by impact energy when the bomb hits the ground after it is fallen through the atmosphere. Or the friction would launch those weapons. 


The difference between modern missiles and the 1960s missiles is that this kind of FOBS weapon can be equipped with the image-recognition and artificial intelligence-based tracking system. That means that the weapon could be extremely sharp, and we know that the development of those weapons is an addictive thing. And also conventional versions of this thing. 


The kinetic energy warheads were filled with concrete. The mission of those warheads was being the artificial meteorites. And the most well-known of those weapons was the "Project Thor" (3). But also normal grenade-profiles were planned to act in this role. The thing is that this kind of system is the top of icebergs. There is a possibility, that even more, lethal weapons are under construction. And one thing why the Russian new weapons are concerning is that western nations are not justifying those weapons.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru
