There are galore concerned in regards to the issues with net-centric warfare, cryptonics, bandwidth issues and even as “we put our money where our mouth is” we wonder, will it all work, as our enemy looks for holes in the system to exploit? It looks as whether or not it is working and looks like it will work better than we expect. That is a good thing because it is not cheap. One of the biggest concerns with rf for communicating is that it is without apparent effort intercepted (directional communications methods are much tougher to intercept).
We currently use galore frequencies and technologies to transfer data and that also now includes light. One issue is what to do with all the data and still see to it that the data gets to where it is going and asap. Not to make mention of large need for zero mistakes in the data or so few mistakes that it is no longer crucial. One way to do that is to send data and once it gets going start out re-sending the basic round of data again, this way any corrupted data may be limited, as the basic burst is often where problems happen.
The only problem with this is that it takes up more space and adds to the possibility of interception. Fortunately, it takes galore hardware to accumulate all that data and this would mean the enemy must also have not only the world’s best way to factor prime numbers using three dimensional equations but must also be capable to handle that quantity of data flow.
In the internet centric game, each factor must be fully functional and capable to move and adapt to local changes quickly like a networked set of businesses in franchising; special team on the football field, small strike force or flash mob. As each factor of the internet-centric team survives on it’s own it is re-imposed by the complete. But to be re-imposed with it’s direct needs the symbiotic kinship needs good data.
Precisely like the body needs to realize that whether or not one part is injure the other constituents pays, the signal used is called pain and it alerts the complete that there’s a problem and it behooves the larger system to be advised. Pain is a prominent quantity of alerting power and therefore, in a net-centric system you require to have all possible data to the brain of the complete to make a decision what to do and where to re-enforce the system best.
Now then, how do you get large amounts of data to central command? In a manner in which the data is safe and can’t be stolen or hacked and give away vital data which could be used against the complete or any of the vital constituents? Well new technologies in the private sector include: terabeam. Terabeam, beams data at extremely unheard of rates. By making use of this applied science, terabeam may be sent to a uav for data capture and sending. The new terabeam applied science has come a long way.
Linking uavs with terabeam tracking and data collection strategies seems appropriate but things are certainly moving slow as is depicted in this report in jan of 2002. Without doubt or question the thoughts then are so far behind the sensed ability of what may be.
The sending unit could be on a humvee and follow and track the uav in flight and send the data or the uav could have the tracking unit on it. It could be a predator type uav or even a lighter than air balloon.
For intercepting enemy transmissions it could be a balloon which was see through with no apparent radar signature until time to gather the data with shutters made of material necessitated to gather the data and merely blink on and off as it disrupted, retransmitted for decoding the wov or disrupt or reflect. For long range terabeams. Laser interruption could be made possible by chemical laser or combination pulsed, particle and chemical lasers.
A mirror could be used to intercept to steer around it. For sending to a uav a uav would be equipped with tiny motors behind mirrors to arch data for sending to a flying uav with a laser finder malt transmitter. This is all possible now without overabundant problem, just require to build a working prototype whether or not in fact one is not already being built or even used in the field (have heard rumors) as we speak after all a advanced day aircraft carrier may send real time directional data transmissions a multitude of ways while in motion and bouncing in the seas in horrible weather to aircraft, satellites, other ships, etc.
The only divergence would be this is such a lot faster a manner to communicate and we only require to make it littler to put into aircraft the size of the predator or littler, the littler the better. And such a system sure beats the heck out of the older strategies as we enter a new age of net-centric warfare.
