There are many variants of C-130, what are marked as "EC-130". Normally this marking means "Compass call" electronic warfare platform.  Jamming enemy communications radio broadcasts and radars are the key roles of EC-130 "Compass call" platforms. And they have not very much effect against troops, who would not use electronic equipment like Walkies-talkie radios.


The main problem with those platforms is that they are good targets for Surface-To-Air missiles, what are modified to home the radio transmitters. The jamming capacity of EC-130 is meant to make enemy transmissions longer, and that would make easier to target them. Also, the mission of jamming platforms is to make the electronic shield attacking fighters and bombers. The jamming capacity is also effective against drones and data communication.


That way of jamming is targeted to enemy aircraft IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) systems, what makes difficult to separate ownership and enemy planes. The problem with jamming systems is that they must be updated, that they could be effective against enemy systems.  The EC-130 "Compass call"/ "Rivet rider" platforms are highly effective part of US. military arsenal, but their missions are so different than other military aircraft. The mission of electronic warfare systems is to stay behind the attacking aircraft and support them with electronic transmissions. Some of those platforms are equipped with special communication systems, what are probably used for giving false commands to the enemy. There is claimed to be systems, what can transfer spoken English to Arabic or worlds of any other targeted group language.


The other version of EC-130 electronic battlefield support plane is "Commando Solo"/"Rivet Rider" variant. The last one planes mission is the little bit different than "Compass call". "Commando Solo" is psychological (PSY-OP) and information warfare (INFO-OP) platform, what missions are highly classified. The "Commando Solo's" major mission is to operate as a flying TV- and radio station, but there could also be a capacity to send so-called subliminal transmissions to the enemy communication network. Those transmissions include short-term "flash" pictures and infrasound messages to enemy troops. Also, EC-130 includes some command posts, what are serving SAC and Special Forces.

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...
