How to aim missile to target without GPS over the wall

The development of new tanks is the race between improved defense and improved ammunition. The first version of active armor was that the tank was covered by explosive plates that would detonate the antitank shell too early before it reaches the armor.

But the new type of active protection system is more effective than those explosive plates. The active protection systems like "Trophy"(1), which is using the conventional rounds that are shot at incoming missiles have created the need to create improved missiles against tanks. There is probably microwave or laser-based solutions, what mission is to detonate the missile before it reaches the tank.

The new lightweight missiles like Rafael Spike can destroy tanks over 5 kilometers. The thing that this kind of system requires is the exact location of the target. The location of the target can get by using various recon systems. But then the missile must fly to them. The easiest way to determine the trajectory of that missile is to use GPS, but that kind of system can jam quite easily. Another way is to use an inertial navigation system, where the missile will get the location of the target, and then it would fly to it.




During the flight, the image recognition system is searching the target, and when it sees the tank or some other target, the missile will turn against it. So the system is a hybrid of the inertia (gyroscope) and IIR (Imaging Infra-Red, which means an optical system that uses the visible light and thermal camera combination. Another way is to use the quadcopters, which can deliver to an area by using various systems. The quadcopter will send the location signal to the missile.

And at the beginning of the trajectory, the missile would aim at the quadcopter. Which points to the target by using a laser designator. This kind of system can use when missiles must fly over the barrier. In this kind of scenario, the shooter cannot get straight visual contact with the target, and the aiming of the ammunition must be done by using the "unstraight" methodology.

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 ...
