  5. Nowa broń USA: 10-tonowy robot, który impulsem mikrofalowym „smaży” roje dronów

    W odpowiedzi na rosnące zagrożenie ze strony zmasowanych ataków dronów, amerykański przemysł zbrojeniowy opracował nową, autonomiczną broń. Leonidas AR to 10-tonowy pojazd-robot, który zamiast pocisków i rakiet, wykorzystuje skoncentrowaną wiązkę mikrofal do natychmiastowego neutralizowania całych rojów bezzałogowców.

    System jest rezultatem współpracy dwóch firm: General Dynamics Land Systems, który dostarczył 10-tonową, gąsienicową platformę autonomiczną (TRX), oraz Epirus, który opracował samą broń mikrofalową Leonidas. W rezultacie powstał bezzałogowy, zdalnie sterowany lub w pełni autonomiczny „czołg”, zdolny do poruszania się w trudnym terenie i ochrony wojsk przed atakami z powietrza.

    Zasada działania broni przypomina kuchenkę mikrofalową, ale o wykładniczo większej mocy i precyzji. Jak donosi portal BGR, Leonidas AR celuje w nadlatujące drony i wystrzeliwuje niewidzialny impuls energii mikrofalowej (HPM – high-powered microwave). Wiązka nie niszczy dronów mechanicznie, lecz „gotuje” od wewnątrz ich wrażliwą elektronikę i obwody sterujące. Ponieważ dron jest bezużyteczny bez sprawnej elektroniki, natychmiast spada na ziemię.

    Największą zaletą systemu jest jego efektywność. Na materiale promocyjnym udostępnionym przez producenta (załączam go poniżej) widać, jak pojedynczy, cichy impuls w ciągu sekundy neutralizuje cały rój różnorodnych dronów. Broń jest precyzyjna, co ogranicza ryzyko przypadkowych strat i nie generuje odłamków jak klasyczna amunicja. Co więcej, operatorzy mogą precyzyjnie dostroić częstotliwość wiązki, aby nie zakłócała ona działania własnych, sojuszniczych maszyn.

    Leonidas AR jest wyposażony w 360-stopniowy radar, który pozwala mu samodzielnie wykrywać nadlatujące zagrożenia. W przypadku braku operatora, system może również autonomicznie namierzyć i zniszczyć wrogi rój dronów, działając jako w pełni zautomatyzowany system obrony pola walki.

    Filipińscy rybacy wyłowili z morza chińskiego drona. To podwodny „niewidzialny” zwiadowca

  8. "Earlier in August the US govt announced that #GeneralDynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems Inc. a Quebec-based company is the principal contractor in the sale of 50,000 high explosive mortar cartridges and related equipment to the #Israel|i military [..]

    "This catches #Canada in several lies they have made since October. The lie of sending only 'non-lethal' weapons."
