 MQ-9 Reaper is getting its successor

The defense companies and military forces are researching the best successor for the MQ-9 Reaper-piston engine drone, which is the most used and deadliest of so-called killer-drones. The next-generation drones are more sophisticated, more surviving, and deadly than ever before, and the stealth-kamikaze drones are ready to take the place as the next generation cruise missiles. 

The X-49 "Sentinel"-type drones can be equipped with nuclear warheads, and they can be used as the cruise missiles, which can return to the base if those systems are not used. The nuclear bomb can be dropped to the target by using drones or the drone can operate as the missile in that kind of strikes. 

The thing is that the MQ-9 is extremely brutal, but sadly its a very effective system, which has many types of missions. MQ-9 can be used against ground and air targets, but the successor of that drone is capable of full-scale air combat. And the case, where artificial intelligence is winning the human pilots is making the development of that kind of drones more supported than ever before. 

The thing that is needed is an effect, and war is murder anyway. So people who are working with killer-drones are thinking that those drones are only the missiles, which can destroy multiple targets. And killer-drones that have air combat capacity are only the enhanced cruise missiles. 

The robot warriors don't need training at all. The thing that the operators must make is just activating the attack module of those robots. Even if robots are made for some other duties, only chancing the programs is needed to make them the ultimate soldiers. The problem is that robots can have a thing called "ghost protocol". When a robot notices something like a gun, it can activate its combat module. The thing is that the face recognition software recognizes the targeted person that thing activates the termination module. 

And if that module is connected to things like robot cars, that could cause that robot car attacks that person. That thing is bringing terrible thoughts in the mind of some people. What if some criminal puts that kind of program to the control system of the computer-controlled cars? Could that thing introduce as the "error in system", when a robot car smashes some witnesses of the criminal activities out from the streets?  

When we are talking about things like prohibiting those weapons, we must remember that any military force is not discarding its biggest gun. The killer-drones and robot weapons are under development in the many other states than in the USA. The other countries are at least China, Russia, and some NATO countries. And the thing, what makes robot weapons addictive is that those weapons are always loyal to their commanders. 

And that thing is one of the biggest threats in those weapons. They don't know who is giving orders. They just know that the operator has the right key. So that means that the unauthorized use of those drones and robot warriors is possible.

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

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between  USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull.  The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting armor has
