The ”Trophy ” system and active protection of the tanks and other vehicles

(Picture 1)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Why I mentioned the U.S ”Trophy” system in the headline, is that I don't remember the name of similar Russian weapon system. This kind of active denial systems are coming to tanks, and their mission is to destroy missiles before the ammunition touches the tank. In modern denial, the system is the battery of arrow, what is guided by sensors, what uses infrared and radar to locate the incoming antitank weapon. When the antitank missile is located, the ADS (Active Denial System) would shoot it with an arrow and it works like CIWS-gun on the deck of warships.

The structural problem of those weapons is that they must be lightweight, that those weapons can turn fast enough against an incoming missile. That's why there is used flechette-claymores, what can launch their flechettes as controlled salvos. This structure allows those weapons turn extremely fast, and the cheap microchips are making possible to create very small caliber guided ammunition, and maybe the ”smart” bullets, what means miniature, rifle caliber missiles are first in use at this kind of weapons.

Also, this kind of systems would locate hiding enemy soldiers, and those active denial systems might use also taking off snipers. The active denial systems are quite a new idea to protect tanks against anti-tank rockets. The first tests of this kind of systems were ”active explosive armor”, where the tank was covered by explosive plates, what would explode the warheads before they face the armor. In this case, the system is equipped with artificial intelligence, what notices if a person is carrying weapons or explosive belts, by using the infrared system, and then it can shoot this target if it has permission to do that. This kind of systems is also installed in combat helicopters to protect them against enemy anti-aircraft missiles.

There must also be plans to use directed energy weapons as the ADS. In this scenario, the tank would have the microwave antennas on its surface. This system bases the idea that the tank would be covered by light, but extremely hard carbon fiber layer. Below this layer are magnetrons, what would be activated when the system sees the incoming missile. And the microwave would destroy the incoming warhead before it faces the tank or ship.

But there are a plans to create more effective and futuristic version of ADS. That bases the microwaves. In this fictional system, the target would be covered by ”the bubble” of microwaves. The bubble consists two internally opposite rotating microwave areas, what would crush the incoming ammunitions. In some plans, even a single soldier would have this kind of active power field around them, and there would be safe against bullets.

Antigravity will be the greatest thing. That we have ever created.

"Artistic depiction of a fictional anti-gravity vehicle" (Wikipedia, Anti-gravity) Sometimes, if the airships have the same lifting power as the weight of the airship. It can act like some “antigravity system”. Those systems are based on lighter-than-air gas or hot air. The system can have a helium tank. And the hot-air section whose temperature can be adjusted using microwaves or particles that lasers warm. Those systems are faster to control than some gas flames. This makes it possible. To adjust the lifting power. If a thing like a balloon has the same lifting power as its weight, the balloon can be lifted to a certain point and altitude. And the balloon stands at that point until something moves it. That kind of thing can make an impression. On the antigravity systems. Modern airships. Like Lockheed-Martin P-791 can look. Like a “UFO”. The system can use systems to move the craft. Or maybe those ion systems are used for plasma stealth systems, if those airships' mis...

The first test flight of X-59 QueSST

The X-59 QueSST (Quiet Supersonic Technology) demonstrator is the next generation of aircraft design. The QueSST technology means. The aircraft creates a gentler sonic boom. Because its wings are radically long and narrow delta wings, and its nose is also radically long, which makes the sonic pressure cone thinner. That technology makes the sonic boom quieter. The QueSST technology in X-59 is a new and radical design. All of those systems are caricatures. And the final solutions might look far different than the prototypes. The QueSST technology is one of the things. That is planned to be used. It is used in military and civil applications. If that technology is successful. It can be used in manned and unmanned systems. But that requires more work. The X-59 also uses fundamental technology. Where the pilot must not have windows. To see outside. The camera and other sensors replace traditional windows. And that can be useful in more advanced aircraft that operate at hypersoni...

The theory about paralleled universes

http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.fi/p/the-theory-about-paralleled-universes.html Kimmo Huosionmaa There is the quite unknown theory about paralleled universes. In this theory, there is not a single universe. Universes are like pearls in the pearl necklace, and there could be the connection between those universes. The connection to other universes would make possible the channel what is forming when the black hole would make the gravity tunnel to another universe. And in the paralleled universe theory, there could be millions of universes in the line, and this is also known as "Multiverse-theory". This theory was established when the galaxy-groups were noticed by astronomers. In that time were noticed that there are so-called super-groups of the galaxy, and those super-groups, where we're so much galaxy that galaxy involved stars made some cosmologists think that maybe there is also groups of universes in the emptiness. This kind of structures is so enormo...
