Doors - Acoustic Weapons Could Explode On-Board Ordinance

How can we prevent stealth aircraft from getting into our homeland airspace? How can we prevent a future attack? Today, an attack on the US seems unlikely granted, but the world today is different than it will be in 5-10 years, lots can happen. Further, Russia has been able to infiltrate their large bombers into Canadian airspace traveling towards the United States, perhaps just to test the early warning system, which in that case, it failed. Canada could not intercept the bombers in time and even if they could the Russia's technology would have eliminated that intercept threat. Okay so let's talk.
There was a patent created to prevent acoustic build up in Bombay areas of aircraft to prevent in-advertent exploding of bombs inside or miss-firing of missile warheads; "Adaptive deployable ramp for suppression of aircraft weapons bay acoustic loads," by Charles Wesley Burdsall USPTO # 6098925 which was filed on Aug 10, 1999 and subsequently issued on; Aug 8, 2000. Of course, if you'll review this patent it cannot be used on Stealth Aircraft lest the protruding flap out into the slipstream will set off a radar signature giving away the aircraft to the enemy's defensive anti-aircraft missile systems.
This means that if our enemies have stealth bombers, we can hit them with an acoustic beam, which will propagate inside of that weapons bay and detonate the bombs, eliminated the threat. Think of the Russian T-50 stealthy bomber variant or China's J-20. Due to the speed of such aircraft sound weapons are problematic for this use with current technologies - and even though an enemy fighter maybe moving toward you, often they will fire further away than their first radar signature is registered.
Next, we must realize that those aircraft once they fire their weapons will be leaving the area faster than the speed of sound, thus your acoustic weapon cannot reach them as they retreat. Plus, we must consider the distances where these acoustic weapons currently are capable, 100-200 meters perhaps, therefore this may not be feasible and certainly isn't feasible with current technology, that's not to say that in the future we will not be able to send a missile with a shot-gun type proximity fuse whose warhead puts out an acoustical shock wave, after all that would be possible with today's scientific know-how.
Consider if you will shock-stun weapons fired from hand held weapons used by police or military for clearing buildings of hostiles, or stunning the bad guys long enough to get the upper hand - same basically principle but attached to a missile warhead in the proximity of the stealth bomber target in this case. Is that feasible - yes, yes it is in fact. Well, perhaps, we need to pursue this technology - yes it might be a dead end, but we need to know. So, please consider all this and think on it.

Shadows for Terrorist Intimidation, Psychological Exploits

Now then, one of the challenges with helicopters flying low looking for insurgents or terrorists is that they can hear the choppers coming, and quickly arm their shoulder launched anti-aircraft missiles. It gives them a heads-up and a warning. But what if we turned the tables on that advantage, and made it a severe disadvantage? Okay so, let's talk about this for second shall we?
What if we did this, what if we used directed sound down to specific homes or hiding places of helicopter noise? And as we did this, what if we were looking at those specific locations to see who jumped out into the alleyway, or went to a rooftop with a shoulder launched surface-to-air missile? This would cause the bad guys to come out of their home or hole so we can have a good look at them, paint them as a target, and eliminate them forthwith.
Now then, you might be against war, and I would not hold that against you, because no one who's ever been in a war would ever wish to glorify it. It's a horrible thing that humankind does onto itself. Nevertheless, the insurgents and terrorists that want to kill American troops, or are planning attacks on the American people, or our allies and interests around the world are not necessarily good people, and if they are carrying around a handheld surface-to-air missile system, in essence they are a weapon, and they do mean us ill will.
What I'm saying is this; it's okay to get the bad guys, before they get you first. Secondly, I'd like to remind you that we have all sorts of cool technologies for directional sound, and this would not be hard to do, and therefore we should. Not only would it provide us a decoy sending sound to where we are not at, allowing us to transverse other areas in safety, but it might also over time cause the enemy to not wish to come out from their hiding place with such weapons in the first place. Either way we win.
How would I go about creating such a technology? I think I would put such systems on small UAV drones with cameras, while larger UAVs were up in the sky over 3000 feet above the ground and out of range of the small surface to air missiles. A Raptor or Predator drone with hellfire missiles could take care of the problem, eliminate those enemies, and that would make us all safer around the globe. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.

One Soldier, 15 Robotic Humanoid Robots

It cost a ton of money to have a million-man standing army, nevertheless, but that's what China has. Currently, it's simply not in our budget in the United States to a million-man standing army, as it costs us quite a bit more to field, train, and outfit a single soldier. Of course, we feed our soldiers more than just rice with the occasional fish, and we also take care of our soldiers when they are injured, and give them retirement benefits. We take care of our own, it's different here.
But what if we had a robotic army, where every human soldier had his own squad of 15 to 30 robotic humanoid soldiers? The human would be the master controller for the robots. The robots would look just like humans, but they wouldn't be organic in any way. How might we go about building a robotic army? This is a serious problem, and one we must address because this is our future, it just costs too much to have, house, uniform, and take care of that many soldiers.
Human wars will continue to be our inevitable future, and I don't see mankind forgoing future wars, especially considering some of our future potential opponents. Now then, I propose that we use exoskeleton to help train bipedal humanoid soldiers using artificial intelligent programming. Our current soldiers will wear the exoskeletons in training to help with fine tuning balancing algorithms, efficiency, and speed.
Consider if you will chasing terrorists or insurgents through a town, and into their hiding place. That's quite dangerous due to sniper fire, and unknown terrain, which clearly gives the advantage to the enemy. But if we have robotic soldiers, they will not be subjected to some of the challenges that humans face with their soft skin and fragile frames. The soldiers which are non-organic will be stronger, faster, fearless, bold, brave, and relentless, well, until they run out of batteries.
If we take everything that evolution has already taught humans, and we engineer those efficiencies into these future robotic soldiers, along with everything the algorithms and artificial intelligence have learned from exoskeleton use, we will have all we need to make this a future reality. Some might say that's not fair, but I would submit to you that; war is not fair, nor is it a pleasurable experience. The trick here is to win, and for that you need numbers and firepower. Please consider all this and think on it.

Where To Take The ASVAB Test

To all those students who are interested in joining the armed forces, one of the most crucial test to enroll is the Military Services Vocational Aptitude Series Examination. This is what is abbreviated as ASVAB test. ASVAB is a test meant to measure the applicant's weakness as well as strength. It is also the best pointer of what sort of profession in the armed can suit the skills of the applicant as well as their interests. This is a test to make sure that applicants enjoy their profession. This article has helpful strategies to high school scholars to which site to obtain the ASVAB examination in order to get started.
A number of students exploring their possibilities and opportunities towards the military career have the need to know further regarding the assignment investigation before they take it. Conversely, they do have ideas where to take that test.
Typically, an officer form the armed forces visits the schools during a congregation to present a speech the reimbursement of one being a military as well how to join the armed forces. There are also a number of pamphlets and brochures which these officers leave in schools' guidance offices for the take and share the idea with their parents back home. These officers are recruiters from the military selected mainly to employ individuals into the armed forces. They also exertion out of the armed services to recruiting people at points located in different towns.
For those fascinated in exploring their military options, it is advisable and furthermore crucial to set a summit with the concerned recruiters. The main agenda of the meeting is discus the options of the one interested to join the military for the officer to determine if one he/she is qualified or not.
After qualifying from the recruiter officer, the recruiter will set an appointment that will be between the closest Military Entrance Examination Site(METS) or the a Military Processing Entrance Station(MEPS) in order to typically take the ASVAB test. These tests are given every month in any area and at the contiguous military point. However, for those without any base near, the officers will use local meeting areas as long as they have the space to occupy the applicants.
It is of uttermost significance to also not that the tests can be of two versions. There is the student edition, which is essentially similar like other tests but it can be overseen at local schools; what makes it very simple. The second type is the standard examination. This one is curtained at the METS or MEPS.

How NOT To Forget Key Information During Your ASVAB Exam

Are you preparing to pass the ASVAB exam? You know there's a lot of pressure to do well, and the resulting stress could cause your mind to go blank. Obviously, that's not helpful. Read on to discover a highly effective (and legitimate) way to ensure that you have the key information you need at your fingertips during the ASVAB test.
I'm going to show you a test preparation strategy that can help you stay focused and calm during your ASVAB test, especially given the special challenges of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery.
What special challenges? How about the fact that there are NINE subtests, most of them in very different areas. Cramming for one subject is hard enough. Cramming for nine is nearly impossible.
Fortunately, several of the test are somewhat related, and there are some areas that require different strategies. But if you use the strategy in this article in just two or three key areas, it can make a big difference.
The strategy
I discovered this strategy way back in high school and have taught it to thousands of students over the years since that time. My own weak area was math, and the biggest challenge was to remember all those formulas, especially during tests.
And since math, both basic knowledge, including algebra and geometry, and arithmetic reasoning, i.e., simple word problems requiring simple calculations, make up two of the nine subtests, you can get quite a bit of mileage out of this strategy even if you do it just for math and arithmetic.
However, there are a few other areas that might benefit from it, specifically the subtests for General Science, Electronics Information, Mechanical Comprehension, and Auto & Shop Information, especially if these areas are important to your specific career goals in the Armed Forces.
So here's how it works:
Step 1: Make a master list
As you prepare for the test, one subtest area at a time, make a running list, sorted by subtests, of any information that you'll need that you think you might forget if you got too stressed.
So for math, just write down all the math formulas (i.e., algebra and geometry) and related principles you want to be sure to remember, and stash them in a safe place.
Do the same for science, electronics, auto & shop, and mechanical comprehension.
What about word knowledge? That's an area where this technique doesn't work too well. Just use your usual study strategies. However, if you have some words that you tend to mix up, you can add them to the list.
The remaining two ASVAB subtests require different test preparation skills, so they don't lend themselves to this particular strategy.
Step 2: Organize and study your lists
Organize the information into logical sequences and study it thoroughly. Learn it by heart. Review it often.
Step 3 Part 1: Write it down
On the day of your ASVAB exam, the proctor will provide you with all the scratch paper you may want. Ask for it, and then, before you even look at the test, take a sheet of that paper and... write down all the things you have memorized, especially the math formulas and principles, and the key principles of the other areas.
Important note: Don't spend more than a minute or two on this step. In fact, you may want to practice writing this information down quickly before you even get to the actual test.
Step 3 Part 2: Strategizing your "writing it down" time
The ASVAB test with its subtests will make writing your information down more challenging than it would be in a single subject exam, so you will need to strategize.
The first test, the General Science test, doesn't give you much time to work with, so you may want to jot down just any general science VIP notes you may have and take care of that section.
Then, before the second section, arithmetic, create your "cheat sheet" for the math and arithmetic material. You'll have a bit more time here, but don't go overboard. Keep it to a minute or so.
Fortunately, formulas don't take very long to write down. And don't stress if you can't remember them all right then and there. Just do your best.
Since the electronics, shop, and mechanical subtests don't come up until later, you'll be able to create any cheat sheets, if you have them planned out, for those areas as you have time. Keep it brief, though.
Step 4: Refer to your legitimate "cheat sheets" as needed
Once you have it all written down, you can refer to the information as needed. It's right there, in writing, and it won't go anywhere, which should greatly reduce your stress.
