Intelligent rounds are making guns more lethal than ever before

The PGF (Precision guided firearms) is the newest military technology in the world. The new integrated circuit technology along with the fast programming ability are turning even the rifle and pistol caliber ammunition into smart guided projectiles. And that will increase the firepower and accuracy of weapons.

Things like small guided ammunition are giving the new power for the anti-aircraft guns, and that kind of thing is making increasing the effectiveness of anti-aircraft and other kinds of systems. The intelligent weapon systems can operate along with drones and manned systems, which are pointing the targets to intelligent weapons.




The new type of "fire and forget ammunition can revolutionize the battlefield. It can use also in rifles, cannons, and aircraft cannons.

The "Tracking point" rifles are basing technology where the computer would launch the rifle and aim the bullet to target by using the laser-pointer. But it's possible to make the more advanced systems, where the rifle would input the target data to the ammunition. Which allows that the ammunition to act as the "fire and forget"mode.

The fire and forget bullet can use the miniaturized TV- or infrared camera. When the operator will point the rifle to the target, the system takes an image of it. And then that image will load to the miniaturized computer of the bullet. That allows it to fly to the target without using laser-aiming. That image can also be taken by every other digital camera and drive to the computer's memory by using remote systems. And that will guarantee the hit to target.

The smart ammunition can load to the M-61 "Vulcan" Gatling gun, which gives that cannon higher accuracy, and in some visions the 30 mm. gun ammunition of the GAU-8 "Avenger" can equip with intelligent technology. That is used in the "Tracking point" systems, which can use the automatized launch, aiming, and tracking systems along with the intelligent ammunition.

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 ...
