Orbital bombardment




Orbital bombardment

Orbital bombardment or FOBS weapons are one of the most devastating things that mankind is ever imagined and invented. Normally FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) is meaning the high yield thermonuclear weapons, which are locating at the orbital trajectory. 

Originally FOBS meant the Soviet spaceborne weapon project in the 1960s. But nowadays that means all spaceborne bombardment systems, that an attack against the ground or low flying targets by using normal bombs, kinetic energy weapons, nuclear warheads or high power electromagnetic rays like lasers or high power microwave radiation. The space shuttles can operate as the launching platform for those systems. 

The fact is that nuclear weapons are only one part of the FOBS-weapons. The other type of FOBS weapons is kinetic energy systems, which are launched by using rocket launchers or electromagnetic rail guns. 

Sometimes people are talking about things like "Project Thor", what are some of the most futuristic versions of the orbital bombardment systems, and say that those systems are not possible to make. "Project Thor" gives the capacity to deliver precision destructive flechettes to the enemy cities. 

Those flechettes might be made by using depleted uranium, which makes them very effective against ships and other places like single houses. That thing makes orbital flechette weapons different than some nuclear weapons. 

The fact is that the simpler version of that futuristic nuclear-powered electromagnetic cannon is the orbiting Katyusha launcher, which can shoot rockets to the earth. The new type of miniature space shuttles can drop conventional bombs or nuclear weapons to certain areas. 

The miniature shuttles can rise above the atmosphere, and if the war begins those shuttles can dive back to earth. In this case, the shuttle itself can be equipped with a nuclear weapon that is detonated internally. And if the war is not coming those shuttles can return to earth. 

The scramjet missiles can operate as FOBS-weapons. And they can fly similar wave-profile trajectory, what the wagtail uses in nature. That trajectory makes that kind of weapon extremely hard targets. 

The newest systems are scramjet-based hypersonic missiles, which can shoot from airplanes. Those systems can operate every kind of platform, and they can send to high altitudes even by using the balloon. 

Then the Pegasus rocket will push them above the atmosphere, where they can wait for orders to attack. Those systems might have rocket scramjets, which means the flap is closing the air inlet while the missile is at orbiter. During orbital maneuvers, the engine operates as the normal rocket engine where the oxygen and fuel are pumped to the combustion chamber from the internal tanks. 

When it takes an order to begin the operation the scramjet acts as a rocket engine. The flap is opening when the craft is returning and the injection of oxygenizing stops and the missile will start to use the atmospheric oxygen. That thing increases the range of that kind of cruise missiles. And they can travel by using the wave-looking trajectory, which the wagtail uses when it flies as I wrote earlier.

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 ...
