The Pentagon and SpaceX cooperation goes deeper.

The Pentagon and SpaceX cooperation goes deeper. When new deals are made with satellite-based early warning networks and the LUCAS Kamikaze-drone connection with Starlink. Will be turned. Into reality. That is the next step. To the Starlink and Pentagon cooperation. These types of plans also accelerate the militarization of space. The systems that track. Own troops. And guiding smart weapons. Are. Vital for successful military operations. That makes them high-potential targets for anti-satellite systems, ASATs. If those satellites can be shot down. That decreases the enemy's ability to control and command warfare. 

This means that those satellites must be equipped with self-defense systems. And those active systems can also be used to destroy other satellites. 

But the price is that. If the deliverer of the service. Shuts it down. So, there is no service. These kinds of deals raise the power. Of the private industry at the Pentagon. Those contracts. They fall into the hands of well-known, trusted service providers. That increases SpaceX's power in space. 

The Pentagon’s dependence on SpaceX continues to grow. The Pentagon awarded. A $4B contract with SpaceX to create a satellite network. The purpose of that network is to track aircraft and hypersonic missiles from space. The system should include the optical and radar systems, boosted with AI. The system can track any aircraft. From the atmosphere with a very high accuracy and speed. The system should replace the old E-3 Sentry AEW&C aircraft. The E-3 plays a vital role in tracking low-flying objects. But things like anti-radiation missiles can endanger that aircraft’s missions. 

It’s possible that things like drones with the lookdown radars and optical sensor packs can replace the E-3. And those systems can share information with the fighters, ships, and ground units. And connect sea, land, and airborne command posts to networks. That communicates. In real-time. With  the overseas military command centers.

In the same way. Those E-3 “Sentrys” are not. A very good tool for tracking very high-altitude hypersonic missiles. That travels in the high atmosphere. This is the reason why a new global system is needed. That can get and share. 

Mission-critical information for AA and aircraft to destroy incoming hypersonic missiles. And this is the reason. A new satellite-based system is needed. The satellite network with optical sensors can replace the traditional GPS. The aircraft can send. The location information is transmitted to those optical satellites. Using laser rays. And then those satellites send the image. Of the flying area. The aircraft travels back to that aircraft using lasers. The laser dot shows the stealth fighter's position to the satellites. Those satellites will use AI and hivemind technology. For tracking and following targets. 

Another thing that is interesting. It is the connection between the Starlink systems. With LUCAS kamikaze drones. The Starlink satellite communication platform can replace the GPS. The system requires a map. It can connect with Starlink’s location information. Starlink uses a similar technology. To GPS. For tracking the transmitting modems. This makes it possible to control drones and other systems. Like the smart bombs to target with the GPS. This kind of technology. Created originally for the Ukraine war makes the GPS unnecessary. These kinds of systems are maybe planned to be used by the Pentagon to protect the GPS system for the nuclear weapon’s core operations. 

When the GPS is used. With a large-scale conventional weapon guidance, it’s possible that the opponent gets its frequencies. And that can mean that in the case of nuclear war. The enemy might know. The frequencies of the GPS. And tries to jam them. When some systems are used all the time. There is a possibility. That the enemy knows its details. There is a possibility that the enemy even tries to spoof the location information. And even tries to aim weapons at the opponent’s own targets. This means that the submarine can fire on its own cities. And this is one of the reasons why nuclear weapon control must be separated from other weapons.

Tracking other people is not needed any special skills.


Kimmo Huosionmaa

There are many things, what we should beware in the Net, and one is using WhatsApp in some freak games. That solution would give exact information about the user to the opposite side on the Internet. This, of course, allows, that the trackers can find out the home of the person, and in fact, if they get an allowance to use the account of some mobile device, or slip in the pocket or handbag some cheap mobile telephone, whose persons can track their target in anywhere that person goes.

This makes those things a very big risk. But there are other things, what people should warn, and one is that if the social media solution would delete the messages after the person has read it, that doesn't mean that those messages would not have existed. Those messages can be saved in the server of the service provider, and then they can find them in there if they want.

 And another thing is, that storing the messages would not need any technical knowledge. Only the photographs, what are taken from the screen of the telephone, by using another phone's camera, and taking pictures of the screen. This means that this kind of things must understand before using social media. The person who spies the target doesn't need to have passwords or any special technical skills.

Only the mirror in the wrong place would help the person to steal data from other person screens. The observe can follow the thing, what is happening by filming the session by using a mobile telephone and the mirror, what shows the screen, what the person, who is under the surveillance uses. Remember that if the tracker would have the right computer programs that person can capture data what is on the screen by using the reflections from the windows what would be make stronger by using graphics programs. and by using those images, can the tracker get the same information, what the target sees in own screen. And even if the picture is unstable or took from little bit wrong position, would that tracker get very much important data from the very small screens.

One thing about public WLAN and dynamic IP


Kimmo Huosionmaa

I must say that this writing is the continue for the last one, and the thing is about the IP-address. The IP-address is the thing, what the Internet uses for finding or specify the computer, where the data should be sent. And this thing is the thing, what client computer sends to the server before the server can start the data transfer. The server needs the static IP-address because other computers must find it over the network. And the homepages would link the data by using the IP-address.

The reason, why we cannot install the static IP-address for our home computers is that Internet service providers deny that action, and the reason for that is the streaming films or something like that from own server to the fellows is using so much bandwidth, that the service providers have normally locked that option, and they change the IP-address at least once per 24 hours. And there is another reason for that, what is not so well known. The thing is that the service providers have a limited number of IP-addresses and that means, they must release those addresses simultaneous, that the new devices can connect to the Internet.

But the major reason is that the material, what is prohibited to share would easily be shared from own server. The static IP normally pays extra money, and that's why most users use dynamic IP-where the IP-address changes in the time period. The payment for static IP normally guarantees more high uploading speed, and in dynamic IP the download speed is very high, but uploading speed is slower. Many people believe, that dynamic IP makes possible to surf anonymously on the internet, but the problem is that the network changes the IP by using the MAC-address of the computer.

And this means that the monitoring computer can easily track those computers if they are in the list of that machine. And changing MAC-address don't help, because the computer must get the new one from the net, and that would cause, that the tracking computer would just get information, that the new MAC-address is in use, and actually the new MAC-address can be given by the tracking server. The dynamic IP-might seem safe, but actually in the network might be a list of those IP:s to send the computer, what is under surveillance.

So those IP:s might be actually the same IP, what is send in the original session. Public networks might also seem perfect place for hiding the identity of the user, but the anonymous use by using them is actually allowed only if the service provider would give permission for that, because public WLAN:s are not meant for the support the communication of the terrorists, and as I just wrote in the text below this, that service provider can collect the information by using surveillance cameras about the person, who is using a computer.
