What is the difference between drones and missiles?

 

Russian Iskander missile (Wikipedia)

Missiles are easier to use in war crimes. The missiles need only two coordinates the launching point. And the point where the target is. The missile crew will give the target coordinates to the missile. And then the GPS/GLONASS system tells the missile its location and the distance to the target. When the target is in range, the system simply tells, that it's time to shoot. 

The problem with that kinds of missiles is. They need to update their target's position all the time if the missile wants to hit the moving targets. The CEP (Circular Error Probability) depends on the accuracy of the positioning system. Things like radar and image (or imaging infrared) homing missiles require the position of the target and then the GPS or inertial navigation system will drive the missile to the point, where its trajectory starts to turn to the ground. 

Then the seeker must see the target. If the seeker doesn't see the target the AI must decide does it detonates the missile in airborne. Or would it allow it to impact the ground? The thing is that AI-based imaging infrared systems are the new things and the computer code that is needed is complicated. And the most usual way to make a missile fly to its target is to use GPS/inertial navigation. 

If there is no optical seeker the operators would not even know where they shoot their missiles. So the fault, if the missile hits civilian targets, is the person who gives coordinates to the guidance system. 

Things like UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles) are made against highly mobile missile systems. The combat drone can patrol for hours or even days and search the targets. And missile systems are the primary objects for small and lethal anti-tank missiles. 

Those drones can observe the ground operations but they are capable to destroy both anti-aircraft and short-range ballistic missiles. They can use along with the manned aircraft or alone against all ground targets. The thing is that the controller of the system sees the target. And if there are some civilians those drone operators should see also that thing. 

The thing is that the high-flying low-enduring drone is always quite a hard target for ground-based systems. The piston engine leaves a very low infrared signature. The question is why Russian military have not those systems?

Bayraktar TB-2 (Redditt)

The answer could be that the drone can use for so-called "surgical strikes". And that means drones are useful also things like assassination missions. The thing is that drones are effective and dangerous tools is that they can be almost everywhere. Small UCAV drones can carry to operational areas even in the trunk of the car. 

And they can leave to the attack position. The drone can be a quadcopter or it can be aircraft-shaped like Boeing Dominator. So when the target is coming to the operational area it will go airborne. The aircraft-looking drone can use a balloon for lift-off. 

And the operator can make that strike from a long distance. That thing makes them very frightening. And the weapon systems must be frightening because they deny the attacks from foreign countries. The purpose of the military system is to put fear in the mind of enemies. And that thing makes all successful weapon systems rough, brutal and shocking.

The modern ghost story

Kimmo Huosionmaa

In the Netflix is the series, what tells about the demon, what makes your worst nightmare become real, and this is why I'm writing this text. When we are thinking about demons, what causes that person must cover their eyes, we might think this thing is a hoax. But then we might start to investigate this kind of demons. And the first question is to find out, how people recognize the demon existence? Is there some kind of sound, what tells the people, that the demon exists or comes in place? This sound is also the sign, that people will cover their eyes.

When we are thinking about this kind of "demons" they might be a good thing to cover something, what the leaders of the society don't want people to know. But then we might start to think about the form of the demon. And if the demon is some kind of sound, we might think that there is something in the person, what makes to hear sounds. 

This kind of thing, what causes psychosis would be very effective PSY-OP (Psychological operation) tool, what denies the secrets of the government leak to the wrong persons. The risk is if somebody hacks that tool, will the result be devastating, if that person will program the target to kill or harm somebody else. And before those systems are created should also this kind of risks take a part in the criticism about this kind of technical solution for tracking the person.

One thing might be PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), what means that the person gets flashbacks, and the cheating sometimes causes that kind of things. But there is, of course, one thing, what normal people don't think, and the sound inside the head might be caused by implanted microchips. If the person is implanted by GPS-locator, there must be some reason for that, and maybe some very important persons for national security has this kind of system.

And if the GPS-signal is cut, the tape might start to run, and the system would cause psychosis because the creator of those hypothetical microchips wants that the person will go to the area, where a satellite can track the target. Maybe some person, who is working in highly secured positions for national security have the implanted microchips, where is the system, what denies them to go to Russia or China. If those systems locate that the person, who is working in the position, where is handled the secured information and will to go to Russia would the system cause psychosis. A similar system might be operating on the Russian side.

The microchips would be modified Alzheimer-implants, what is equipped with the satellite communication, and locator, what might be installed to the similar system. If that system communicates with brains by suing two-side data communication with EEG-decoder, the operator might see and hear everything, what the implanted person sees and hear. And when the operator starts to run the film, what mission is to deny the person leave from the circle of the tracking system, would the perception from the eyes needed to choose the right tape, that the visual image becomes real.

Of course, there is one very great hypothesis in those things, that there could be an alien from the fourth dimension, what could set itself in the human nervous system. And in some cases, the explanation for the things, called demons, what force people to keep their eyes closed is the electric vortex, what comes from the wormhole. In this scenario, the ghost might also be the electric vortex, what influences the human nervous system, and if the "ghost" or demon tries to make the hallucinations real would it get the vision from the human brains sight areas, that it can make the hallucinations.

But this kind of thoughts is so-called hypothetical- philosophical thoughts. In fact, the wormholes can, in theory, bring the electromagnetic radiation from the past or the future. And if the person, who have a similar nervous system with the person who is in the past or in the future or even in the distant solar system would those persons EEG-signals transfer to the person's nervous system, who stand in the certain place. In this theory, the wormhole, what goes through the person causes this kind of demonic experiences. And maybe in the future, we might get the answers for this kind of questions, but until that we might write stories about philosophical theories about this kind of phenomenon.

What is the fifth satellite in the Russian cargo?

Kimmo Huosionmaa


One satellite is missing in Russian space cargo and the reason is that there is a classified satellite in the cargo with normal communication satellites. It's a very easy thing to hide a secret payload with normal civilian satellites, or actually, the normal satellites might also have secret missions. A communication satellite can also work as the intelligence and reconnaissance role, and this would be the most effective intelligence satellite in the world. The thing is like making "a man in middle" attack by using satellite in that mission.

The idea is to route the communication transmitting through the satellite, what also delivers that data also for the intelligence service like FAPSI or NSA. Also, the photo recon satellites can be load with the normal satellites. The thing is, that the secret cargo would be covered with the core, what seems like a normal satellite. And the thing, what the electronic surveillance needs are the powerful radio receiver.

Those satellites can orbit in the low Earth orbiter and collect data from the GSM and WLAN networks. The Russian FERRET-type reconnaissance satellites can track the computers, sneak the WLAN networks and collect the data from the eavesdrop devices, what spies leave in some rooms. The satellite might also be equipped with laser-microphones, and they can record the discussions in some rooms. The western intelligence agencies like NSA have similar satellites. Some electronic intelligence satellites are in the geostationary trajectory, where they can record the communication of the WLAN-networks, and those satellites tracked also Osama Bin Laden and delivered the vital information for the NSA.

But we know, that also the Russian military forces have large-scale programs for making ASAT (Anti Satellite) or "killer satellites". The traditional version satellites operate with kinetic energy, and they are driven towards other satellites. But this technology has been created in the 1960s and the modern versions of the military killer satellites use laser or other high energy weapons for terminating their targets. The primary targets for killer satellites are positioning systems like GPS and GLONASS.

The military communication and recon satellites are also in the high priority targets, and the idea of destroying those satellites is to deny the enemy troops positioning and delivering the launch codes and operative orders for enemy submarines and other troops. Those kinds of satellites are operating in the classified trajectories, where they are waiting for orders to begin the operations against enemy targets.

The problematic relationship between western and Arab nations

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The relationship between western and Arab nations are of course a very interesting thing, what has been in the main role in many books. The bad relationship between western- and Islamic people are from 13th. century, when the pope ordered the Christian people to conquer back the Holy Land and after that, the conflict has been ideological, and this makes it a very complicated thing. The thing, why the western world would not cut the diplomatic relationships and support for Arab nations is, that somebody else would fill that empty thing.

And this "somebody else" is, of course, Russia, but also China is interesting about relationships and weapon selling to those nations, what have very rich oil refineries, and also they have an excellent position in the middle of the air routes in the World, what makes them very attractive place for nuclear weapons, what can used to strike against southern Russia. But the thing, what makes those nations very complicated thing is not actually the location as military bases. This is, of course, more reasons, what makes those nations very influential actors in the global political field.

The great natural resources have taken billions of dollars to the cash of those nations and their leaders. The families, what rules those wealthy states have also very much money, what they can invest in the west. This means that those people should not irritate forever, or they took their billions in some other country. The big money is the reason, why people don't talk about things like bombardments in Yemen, and because the leader of the bombarding countries is Saudi-Arabia, there would not find a western nation, what can be prosecuted by those things, what seems like war crimes.

But again and again, we must understand that even the worst crimes in the war can leave without punishment. The used weapons have been so-called "smart bombs", what are guided by satellite to the target. And the question in the hypothetical court-martial would be that did the pilot know, that the weapon was targeted to the civilian targets.

If the target information sent from some agents on the ground, would the reason for deadly strikes, that they would not know how to use their location devices. In the worst cases, they might have normal GSM-telephones in use, and they might use the telephones GPS, and then send this target data by using text messages, and then the operators would target the bombs by using those messages, the western devices works that they would automatically send that information for bomb operators.

But the thing, what makes this thing quite difficult is that if the GPS is jammed, that makes specifying the location difficult. And in those cases, the GPS-bomb is something else than a precision-guided weapon. The target locators, what is made by using military undercover operations are looking like mobile telephones. The system inside the locator would use the position identifier of the device to get the precise location of the target.

The system uses two pictures, what are taken in the different locations of the target. When the operator targets the system to the target it would take the line to the targeted place, and if the operator works alone must this person move to another point, and take another photo of the target. The system calculates the location of the target by using triangulation lines from those places and the weapon can target to it.

If the team has two devices the targeting happen in seconds by using two persons, that are in different locations. This thing works like old fashion triangular targeter for artillery, but the system is complicated. The locator can use in the normal mobile telephones, and it can have the stealth mode, what makes it thing, what can carry on the streets. The software-based version can use GPS signal also for communication.

But the thing is that they are normal mobile telephones, what can be used in normal communication, and when the secret code would be given, it would work as the military locator. The support team, what aims the bombs would also get images, that the targeting has been happening in the legal targets, but also the text messages can be used to send the target information.

The question is, "is the bomb targeted to its target in purpose or accidentally." And this is the thing, what brings convictions to the operators, and the pilot if this person knows that the target is civilian. But in the civil war, there could be persons with assault rifles and in Arabia, there are many assault rifles even in the neutral hands. And if the targeter would accidentally think that the targeted group is some fighters, they can explain the bombardment by using this argument. Or simply claim, that the person who targeted that weapon have died in combat and nobody can ask questions from the dead person.

Why military forces transferred to use GPS?

https://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Many times people ask, why military forces use GPS, and what is the problem with an Inertial navigation system, what is used in rockets and what has the vital role in the nuclear submarines and aircraft. The reason for that is very simple. The inertial navigation system records all route of the vehicle, and following that track could the enemy locate the secret military bases locations if they find the Inertial device in some aircraft, and this makes this system complicated.

Every change, of course, is recorded in that system and that makes easy to target the weapons to that thing, and that makes the Inertial risky. But the other reason, why GPS is more popular is, that this satellite-based system can make possible to locate own troops from the area, and that makes possible to use tactical firepower more effectively. And if the GPS is used in bombs, that system allows sending the target data straight to the bomb, when the aircraft is in airborne, and those systems can change the target very fast. This makes GPS-bomb effective against all fixed target.

This is why the jamming systems against those satellite navigation systems are under research. The system, what would someday replace the GPS is the hybrid system, there are multiple sensors. Maybe it uses GPS only in a couple of seconds, and then the system transfer to use other navigation methods like some version of Loran, or Inertial navigation system. The hybrid version of Inertial navigation would work with the same method, the beginning point of the trip would be located by using GPS, and then Inertial would continue to navigate the vehicle.

The advanced version of Loran would work like normal radio compass, but the system would use more coherent radio signals and thin areas, those system bases in Maser-technology. Those very sharply targeted transmissions allow to locate the aircraft very sharply. Also, there could be used DSMAC-(Digital Scene Matching Area Correlation) navigation, what allows those aircraft or ships navigate very sharply without GPS.

This navigation system was replaced TERCOM in the late 1980's when the lower price of the microchips made possible to create computer-based solutions for missiles and other weapons. The system is developed originally for missiles, and it bases that the cameras are making an image from the area what is under the aircraft, and that thing is compared with the images, what are in the memory of the computer. If the images are matching, the location of the vehicle is correct. And ships can use SONAR to make that image.

The most modern versions of that navigation system are using LIDAR, what is the name of the Laser-radar, what uses light in the place, where normal radars uses radio waves. This kind of new era navigation systems can make GPS old fashion, and some of them are immune to jamming. But those systems are still under the developing, except DSMAC, what is in use at the cruise missiles. That system has been in use since the first digital cameras have been in the missiles. But the use of this system in aircraft and ships is a brand new idea, and it can revolutionize the navigation.

Quantum compass and next generation navigation

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The vulnerabilities of GPS systems have been noticed, and that system has many weaknesses. The use of satellites makes it vulnerable to ASAT (Anti Satellite)-missiles, and another kind of weapons. That's why the military forces of the world are looking for the replacement for GPS. Even if the new systems, what bases the jumping frequencies are more immune to jamming than old systems, the replacement, what does not need satellites are now under the development.

Quantum compass might replace the GPS because it's immune to jamming systems. The major weaknesses of the GPS are the system uses satellites for giving the position of the point. And this is why GPS is quite easy to jam, and the other weaknesses are that the system cannot be used in underground or EMP-protected places.

Also, northern lights are disturbing that device, because they form ion layer in the top of the atmosphere. This means that the operators, who use GPS must find another way to locate themselves. The answer in submarines has been to use the Inertial navigation system, what connects the information of the speed of the thing, what uses that system, and the gyroscope meters the direction of the ship or aircraft.  In modern gyroscopes, the layer would lay in the magnetic field, and it is rotating like in the electric motors. The lasers would observe the direction and positioning of that magnetic plate, what reacts extreme sharply in any changes in direction of the system.

By using this information can the computer map the position, if the beginning point of the journey is known in the vehicle. This navigation system can map the entire route of the navigated thing. But this system requires the begin location for mapping, or it is useless. This is the problem with this system. Also, the problem is to make it enough small that person can carry it in the pocket, and the need of speed information makes this thing hard to use in ground vehicles.  Setting the beginning point of navigation is also difficult if the person jumps by using a parachute, where the beginning point is hard to locate.

The answer for the problem could be the very sharp magnetic compass, what bases technology, where the layer is floating in the magnetic field, and the multiple lasers are observing the position of that thing. The new kind of systems might be the combination, where is magnetic and gyro compass working together. Those systems might be very small and that would make them very light and effective.

The magnetic version of this compass works with a similar principle with normal magnetic compass, and the system calculates the place of the system by using the angle of the north pole for locating the system. The difference between the Inertial navigation system is that the plate must be in a stable position. There would be extremely thin magnet nail on it, and that makes possible to locate the magnetic north pole very sharply.

If those systems are based with nanotechnology, where the plates are extremely thin, and the width will be the only couple of micrometers and the size is smaller than coin or even the thumbtacks, the system would be extremely small. But of course, the operator needs more information and one is the knowledge about where the system is. So the operator must put the state or some coordinates, where he might be, that the computer can locate the person. This might be the next generation locating system.

The GPS satellites are not so easy to target as people think (Installing "Trophy-system into satellites)

Picture I

https://avoimenkoodinmaailma.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) is a very good target for ASAT (Anti Satellite Weapons) because this satellite is giving the data for positioning for satellite-guided weapons like JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) and GPS guided bombs and missiles. Those weapons allow that combat aircraft would close in the target in free angle, and that makes those weapons so effective.


The GPS is the easiest way to locate the position of the own troops, warships, and aircraft. GPS is also used in the safety systems of some special cargo, what are the risk to get stolen like money and the nuclear weapons. This system sends the location information of those things, and that will make the stealing that equipment very difficult.  If the security personnel would push the alarm button, that would send the information of emergency to the security company. And that's why GPS is the very vital role in the private or governmental security.


But if somebody would destroy the GPS-satellites the strike capacity of NATO task force will decrease, because the tactical support aircraft would need the precise information of own troops position. And that's why GPS-satellites are so important in those operations. But the use of ASAT-systems would cause big danger for those satellites. If the GPS-satellites are equipped with similar ADS-system, called "Trophy", what is used in the M-1 "Abrahms" tanks would that increase the probability of survivability, if the satellite would be getting attacked.


"Trophy"-type ADS is actually a microwave system, what uses multiple IR (Infra Red) sensors to detect incoming missiles, and then the microwave transmitter turns to those missiles, and the warhead of those missiles would be detonated too early. In the satellites that system might seem like some Sci-Fi space battle vehicle's gun turret. The similar system can easily install to the GPS-satellites, and that would allow destroying those incoming ASAT missiles. This would make some of those weapons unable to operate correctly. And that system would also be used against other satellites.
