I was thinking of activating a remote generator and then using passive means to analyse the reflections. No analysis on the UxV. They are either listening and sharing via link or else are cheap generators.

The CDC sounds as if it coming closer to a modernized version of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thetis-class_patrol_vessel

What if they don't want to expand there? What if they just want the Danes, the Europeans and us, to take the load and supply effective forces in the area rather than requiring the US to spend money on territories that we claim? Trump isn't the first President to ask for the allies to do more...

I am pretty sure this has been posted before. The Ten-Year Goal: Upon taking command in 1951, Eisenhower wrote, "If in 10 years, all American troops stationed in Europe for national defense purposes have not been returned to the United States, then this whole project will have failed". .... The...

I am having trouble wondering why, if it is possible to fly an electrically powered vehicle into another for $1000 dollars using AI targeting systems why it isn't possible to do the same with jet and rocket powered vehicles at similar costs...

With the developments in remote systems, does the generator have to be on the receiving platform? Or could it be generated remotely?

On the other hand the A-10 is in the inventory right now and has trained crew to fly and support them. I am not a fan of discarding current assets to procure future assets. I prefer to keep one foot on the ground as I advance and start bringing in the new before disposing of the old. Even if...

Thanks. I was working from the literature. Now you mention it, 40 mm seems to be popular among the CUAS systems. Tridon comes to mind

Without pictures it never happened.

I find it fascinating that the only threat anybody in our neighbourhood has taken seriously in the last 80 years is an American threat. I kind of think that is what the Americans have been complaining about.

I suggest that this is what the Norwegians mean when they say as civilian as possible ans as military as necessary. They don't make all their vessels military because even they, with one of the best balance sheets on the planet would find that expensive, but they give their crews something of a...

how much civilian infrastructure in switzerland, sweden and finland, including residences, is bombproof Switzerland, Sweden, and Finland possess the world's most extensive civilian "bombproof" infrastructure, designed during the Cold War to withstand conventional bombing, nuclear fallout, and...

Further to the thought: If the CUAS battle is of sufficient concern that our friends and allies are making efforts to create enough CUAS devices to supply point defences to critical infrastructure on shore, in both war and peace due to this gray area we currently inhabit, then do we need to...

But might it not mean that if they are engaging in monitoring, maintaining and, perhaps, actively defending, critical infrastructure like cables, pipelines and environmental monitors, or even comms nodes and minefields, even if it is just as tenders or motherships, that they will present as...

It is a tin can for carrying UxVs and their operators. There are no armaments indicated in any of the literature. It would be an appropriate Cost Guard vessel if ice-hardened. But that does kind of raise a question. Do our enemies know that our big red boats aren't targets?

The Aussie solution to Bolshie Brit unions? "The AROS Console is designed to be fitted on new or existing vessels, enabling the remote operation and tasking of autonomous and uncrewed assets, complimenting shore-based operations and supporting crewed-uncrewed teaming (MUM-T). "Developed in...

I'd say that the difference is the difference between cost and value. In times gone by whole ships have been sacrificed, regardless of their cost, because their value was greater. St-Nazaire comes to mind. Another example is expending 2x 5 MUSD SAMs to down an $50,000 UAV if the target is the...
