Improved armor vs. improved warhead

  

Improved armor vs. improved warhead


Tank war is the race of improved armor vs. improved weapons. When somebody created a new type of antitank weapon, new armor would create against that. The effect of the HEAT(High Explosive Antitank) warhead has decreased. And the answer is that the new and more energetic warheads are taking the place, and one of them is the hybrid thermobaric HEAT-ammunition. The other is the plasma-HEAT, where the electric system is creating extremely hot gas in the front of the ammunition. That plasma-warhead should penetrate the newest armor.

The lightweight missiles are still a nightmare. Even if the modern armor is making the HEAT-warhead less effective because the angle of the armor is trying to make the hit angle of the missile less effective. The improved weapons have a system that is trying to turn the ammunition to 90 degrees angle against the targeted layer. Artificial intelligence is a computer program and it can be loaded to the smallest possible projectiles.

The false laser-spots can turn the missiles away from the target. (How to jam laser designator Part II)

The man-portable anti-tank missiles are using a laser to point the target, and there are plans for how to jam those systems. The false laser spots would use to make the laser-guided projectiles fly in the wrong direction. And one of the methods is to make the brighter laser spot to another point. The problem is that the system that makes the faked aiming point must react very fast.

The laser-jamming system can install in quadcopters, what mission is to make the false laser spot for the missiles and other projectiles. The quadcopter can fly near the protected target, and when the system detects the aiming point of the laser-guided missile, it can make a fake spot for the incoming missile.

Also, it's possible to turn the laser light away from the target by using brighter, same frequential laser-ray with the laser designator. The brighter laser ray, which has the same frequency can turn the designator's laser ray away from the target.

The simple laser designator points the laser ray to the target that the laser-guided missile can aim at that point. Jamming of that system can do by using counter-radiation that makes the rangefinder to show that the target is closer than it is. Or for the jamming can be done by using a similar method, what is created for astronomers adjusting telescopes. In this process at the sky will create the laser star wich purpose is to help the telescope to focus its optics in the right way, that the image is clear and sharp.

If to another point than the laser pointer is targeted would create a brighter laser point that thing can make the missile turn in the wrong direction. So the laser-guided missiles and other projectiles are requiring more powerful protection against the jamming. One version is to use the system, where the laser sends the code to the target and the artificial intelligence of the missile would keep the focus to the point, which is marked with the coded laser.

Also, a coded laser is not immune to jamming. In theory, the drone or some other thing must just see the flashes of the laser ray and then copy that flashing to its laser system, which is used to make the false spot for the attacking missiles homing system. In this kind of system, the idea is to make the false target to the laser-homing missiles and other projectiles.

In some more futuristic ideas, the drone or some helicopters can turn the laser ray of the aiming system away from the target by pointing the laser ray itself by using the same frequential but more powerful laser. That thing can turn the laser ray away from the target. The problem is that the ray of the pointer laser is hard to detect, but if it is cut by using the crossing radiation, what has more power, that thing would turn the aiming radiation away from the target.

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 ...
