http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Russia_Set_to_Deploy_Tactical_Drones_in_the_Arctic_999.htmlRussian drones will be deployed in the Arctic and along the Northern Sea Route starting May 1 to monitor the climate situation and the deterioration of Arctic ice, as well as to aid in navigation and search and rescue missions.
The drones - Orlan-10s from the Eastern Military District - will be deployed from the Chukotka Peninsula, which lies just opposite Alaska's Seward Peninsula.
"The drones' task is to maintain impartial control of the situation in the Russian sector of the Arctic, including the ecological and ice situation in the adjoining sea areas and along the Northern Sea Route," Colonel Aleksandr Gordeev, spokesman for the military district, said.
The monitoring plan was announced at the end of 2014, and test flights of the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) began in the region earlier this year. The Orlan-10 is a Russian-produced UAV, reportedly designed at the Special Technological Centre in St. Petersburg. It can reach 90-150 km per hour and can stay in the air for up to 16 hours at a time.
The drone unit's mission will be "managing objective control over the situation in the Russian Arctic," added Gordeev. The UAVs will be delivered via heavy Mi-26 transport helicopters, and the station will be manned by graduates of the Defence Ministry's remote control aviation center.
Russia already has the largest fleet of icebreakers in the world - and the only ones that are nuclear powered. The Russian Navy announced in April the creation of their first diesel-electric icebreaker that will be able to break ice 30 inches (80 cm) thick.
The announcement of the creation of the drone unit near the city of Anadyr in November came a few months after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the establishment of a separate public body responsible for the implementation of Russian policies in the Arctic and a unified network of naval facilities to host advanced warships and submarines to boost the protection of Russia's interests and borders in the area.
Russia is looking to build up its presence in the oil- and gas-rich Arctic region in accordance with the country's revised military doctrine, signed by President Vladimir Putin in December 2014.
http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/...s-largest-swarm-of-miniature-robot-submarinesForty one tiny robot submarines is a lot of tiny robot submarines. It’s so many, in fact, that controlling them individually doesn’t make sense, and the only way to go is to give them levels of swarm intelligence, so that each individual robot can take care of itself while the swarm as a whole completes an objective.
Saa nähdä kuinka kauan menee ennenkuin nämä ilmestyy NAVY messuille. Muutama sivu takaperin laitoin artikkelin todella hiljaisesta kalasta, ja tänä vuonna sen jälkeläinen löytyi messukuvista.
pohja dronehaulikolle
Norjan pojilla mahtava tiedustelu-HEKO (kohta 0.55). Tuollainen olis Suomipojallekkin tarpeellinen moneen paikkaan, ainakin asutuskeskusrähinään....
http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-software/georgia-tech-robot-swarm-controlAs robots get smaller, cheaper, and more capable, it often makes sense to rely on swarms of little bots instead of one big one, and as swarms grow in size and complexity, intuitive methods of real-time control become critical. Georgia Tech’s GRITS Lab has developed a way to dynamically control large swarms of robots using just a tablet and a finger (or two).
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/may/14/china-sell-jordan-missile-firing-drones-after-obam/China is offering to sell Jordan missile-firing drones to fight the Islamic State terror army, according to a U.S. congressman.
“I am now aware that China is presently in Jordan to discuss operations, logistics and maintenance associated with the urgent sale of weaponized unmanned systems,” Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, said in a letter on Thursday to President Obama.
Rep. Hunter has pressed the Obama administration — to no avail — to approve the sale of Predator unmanned surveillance aircraft to the kingdom.
The congressman raised the prospect of key ally Jordan, and its ruler, King Abdullah II, turning away from the U.S. and toward China for a key piece of military equipment.
Jordan has asked to purchase unarmed MQ-1 Predators to find Islamic State targets and monitors its movements in neighboring Iraq and Syria.
Jos noita tiedustelulennokkeja ilmestyy enemmän ja stingerillä ampuminen on overkilliä, miksei torjuntalennokkeja jo ole? Niissä ei tarvittaisi tuntien kestävyyttä, vain jonkinlainen äly, ja sensorit jotka haketuvat vikollislennokkeihin ja joko toimivat kamikatze periaatteella tai ampuvat jotain miniohjuksia.
Idea ei ole minun vaan entisen Gripen pilotin esittämä
Clou on tässä että jonkun stingerin ominaisuudet ovat overkill halpojen lennokkien ampumiseen, joten olisi järkevää säästää Stingerit varsinaiseen tehtäväänsä ja etsiä/suunnitella halvempi ratkaisu.Niissä ei tarvittaisi tuntien kestävyyttä, vain jonkinlainen äly, ja sensorit jotka haketuvat vikollislennokkeihin ja joko toimivat kamikatze periaatteella.
Tuohan on ohjus.
Tuommoinen muutaman satasen lennokkidrone, johon asennetaan hakupää ja kyytiin haulipommi. Kone lentäisi kuin ohjus, scoutin viereen ja räjäyttää haulit päin näköä. Samalla laitteella voisi eliminoida myös maastossa vastustajan tarkka-ampujia, jos siinä olisi myös lämpökamera ja manuaalinen ohjaus.Niissä ei tarvittaisi tuntien kestävyyttä, vain jonkinlainen äly, ja sensorit jotka haketuvat vikollislennokkeihin ja joko toimivat kamikatze periaatteella.

Aivan, jotain tuollaista alemmille korkeuksille ja joku kiinteäsiipinen korkeammalle.Tuommoinen muutaman satasen lennokkidrone, johon asennetaan hakupää ja kyytiin haulipommi.
