Uav security

Drones as threat to national security
If terrorists are allowed to operate with impunity from a country and USA intervention is designated off-limits via domestic politics, then the US and other western countries could be attacked by drones automatically launched from submarines. Drugs are being smuggled into the US, from South-America using submarines. It is at present nearly impossible to stop a submarine from coming close enough to a US coastal city for drones to be launched. Drones would be deployed by inflating balloons and releasing the drones from a few km in the sky. They navigate using GPS to city streets detonating their payload.

It is for this reason that citizens of the free world must allow their governments to intervene in failed states to prevent terrorists from mobilizing the hardware to build a large scale submarine. Thousands of surveillance drones must be deployed over the jungles of South-America where the drug mule submarines are built. If Afghanistan were not invaded but allowed as a safe-have for terrorists, they would have eventually provided the funds and know-how to build a large scale submarine, filled with drones.

Running around like a bunch of off-head chickens in Afghanistan seems pretty pointless, as the army plays wack-a-mole. But it isn't, it has conditioned the American people to allow the US to intervene and prevent a real crises: Iran obtaining nukes. Iran is miscalculating American resolve: they will launch a full scale land invasion to prevent Iran from obtaining nukes. Playing wack-a-mole in Afghanistan was a means of conditioning the American people for such an invasion.

Swarming UAV attack
Attach 100 UAV's, each with a stick of dynamite to weather balloons. They are released at 20km gliding to the US ground base for an attack in Afghanistan. It is just a matter of time before this happens. The USAF are complicit in the killing of their own people, trying to protect their own turf, from being relegated to irrelevance, they are trying to prevent mass adoption of robots and UAVs. Afghanistan can easily be secured with thousands of swarming UAVs using cheap open source code from ground based control stations. Instead the Airforce controls a few drones over bandwidth starved satellite links. Satellite won't allow thousands of realtime Mpeg4Compression streams. Install thousands of WiMax towers, providing the entire country with 4G bandwidth over which the same ground troops will pilot drones in a preventative manner, sipping tea in air-conditioned trailers, instead of running around like off-head chickens and gun toting ninjas.

Commercial Infinia StirlingEngines provide electricty for the WiMax bases anywhere in Afghanistan using the sun and natural gas. Each base is armed with robot gunnery controled from a remote location over WiMax by X-Box savvy 20 year old gamers using PS2 game pads.

In Age of Empires II a Microsoft game there was a strategy known as "tower rush". This is the same type of principle, create thousands of mini-bases armed with robots and UAV's controled from a remote link over WiMax.

Uavs represents a paradigm shift in how common forms of residential crime, terrorism and warfare will be prevented. Gunpowder put all the swordsmiths out of a job, likewise the USAF have been made redundant: Anybody can pilot a drone with a touch screen EmbeddedPc. MannedSystems can easily be implemented by X-box video gamers. RC Radio control simulators will turn any pc literate gamer into a MannedSystemspilot. UAVs would even eventually make marine ground forces redundant.

What is known as the [], 'industrial-military' complex is preventing this, via fraud, corruption and kickbacks. Raven drones are sold at $40000, the same thing can be built for $1000 using the open source method. Fraud, theft and corruption must not be confused with capitalism. Imagine if you go and buy a car and instead of the dealer quoting you a price he logs into your bank account to see how much money you have to spend. The pentagon has a $1trillion budget. Between all the arms manufacturers they now in advance how much to charge for the same FFT algorithm every year. Another problem inflating the price of a 4kg balsa and glue contraption from $1000 to $40000 are HackPatents. Development costs isn't the primary problem but the 8000 Reed-Solomon error correction software algorithm patent holders who all want to license their tweeks for a $1mil. CNN and the mass media mind control mechanisms don't want the tax paying public to understand this because they will also deduce that copyright by logic must be disbanded.

A few hundred UavAirframes fitted with cheap $350 IMU from RateGyro and uncooled ThermalImagingCameras streaming images over a 400Mhz WiMax link, patrolling the major Afghanistan routes will prevent IED attacks. It is outrageous that the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usaf is preventing this.

http://irobot.com/gi/ground/ have patented a type of ground based robot traction system, allowing them to charge whatever they want for something that can be built for a few hundred dollars. It is the copyright, patent regime that is distorting the free market.

Somali anti-pirate measure
Counter attack somali pirates using drones filled with fertiliser explosive. Load the ship with the individual chemicals needed to make a fertilizer bomb, making it on the ship itself when well away from land. Any left over bombs are discarded at see when close enough to harbor.
