The Navy Is Testing the Boundaries of Automated Defense and Robot Warships
*Kris Osborn* *military, Americas* The sea-based military service is considering using autonomous drone weapons for non-lethal defensive attacks. As the Navy fast-tracks a massive new fleet of robot warships armed with missiles, sub-hunting sonar, air defense radar and extensive command-and-control systems, the military service is refining technical requirements and concepts of operations for the new fleet. The Navy is trying to accelerate testing, prototyping, development and deployment of a new fleet of unmanned systems. This large undertaking encompasses its small, medium a... read more
The F-16 Fighting Falcon Can Beat Anything (Even Father Time?)
*Kris Osborn* *F-16, * Today’s Air Force F-16 dates back as far as the 1970s, a circumstance which might lead some to wonder how the combat aircraft has sustained its combat relevance and performance capacity into the dynamic threat environment of the 2020s. The Air Force is giving its 1970s-era F-16 fighter jet F-35 technology as part of a massive fleet-wide overhaul intended to improve targeting, attack precision and computer systems—to extend the fighter’s combat life all the way into the 2040s. It might be tough to imagine that today’s Air Force F-16 dates back as far as t... read more
USS Forrestal: America’s First Super Aircraft Carrier Has a Storied History
*Sebastien Roblin* *Aircraft Carrier, * In 1948, the country’s first secretary of defense, James Forrestal, ordered the USS United States, a supercarrier displacing seventy thousand tons designed to carry up to eighteen large strategic bombers off its deck. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *As they each approached forty years of service, the *Forrestals *were decommissioned one-by-one between 1993 and 1998—but stayed busy right until then. In 1993, *Ranger *deployed off of Somalia and provided photo reconnaissance, logistics and air support for Operation Restore Hope as it face... read more
WHAT IF DEMOCRATS ARE THE NORMAL AMERICANS?
Greg Sargent writes: It has been repeated so often that it’s become an accepted maxim: The country is “deeply polarized” over the government response to covid-19. This has become the new “culture war.” Americans now inhabit “two separate realities.” And so forth. The new focus of this claim is the national battle that has erupted over mask mandates... But what if the country isn’t actually that divided over the idea? ... Two new polls suggest this possibility... A new Politico/Morning Consult poll, for instance, finds large majorities of registered voters either strongly or some... read more

Will Raisi Build a New Iranian Beachhead in Latin America?
*Amalendu Misra* *Iran, Latin America* Given his open hostility towards the United States and to cement his image as a great leader at home and abroad, Ebrahim Raisi may truly pick on Washington in its Latin American underbelly. It was not quite like the investiture on the throne of an *Achaemenid *emperor. Yet, last week’s inauguration of the brand-new Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi was not a low-key affair either. A total of 115 officials from seventy-three countries were present at the oath-taking ceremony, including ten heads of state, eleven foreign ministers, and ten other... read more
Is the Suwalki Gap NATO’s Achilles Heel Against Russia?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Russia, NATO, * To the west of the Gap is the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, which hosts over 15,000 Russian troops and bristles with heavy artillery and long-range ballistic and anti-aircraft missiles. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Such relatively cost-efficient reforms could ensure that NATO forces can move quickly and powerfully enough that a Russian “stab-n-grab” operation like the seizure of Crimea that relies on speed, deception and political chaos is less likely to pay off. The optimistic implication is that improving defenses of the Suwalki gap ... read more
Is China’s Z-19 ‘Black Whirlwind’ a True Stealth Helicopter?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Helicopters, * Developing a scout helicopter that balances agility, protection, stealth and firepower—all at an affordable price—is a tricky business. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *At last count, the PLA has 180 Z-19s in service, implying it’s deployed into nine to twelve aviation regiments. It’s been suggested (but never demonstrated) that the Z-19 could carry anti-ship missiles, and one could imagine a shipboard spinoff serving on China’s new Type 075 Landing Helicopter Docks in a similar role to the U.S. Marine’s Sea Cobra gunships. Developing a scou... read more
When It Came to Fighting Iraq, Iran and Israel Were Best Friends
*Sebastien Roblin* *Israel, Iran, Middle East* At dawn on September 30, 1980 four American-made F-4E Phantom jets screamed low over central Iraq, each laden with air-to-air missiles and three thousand pounds of bombs. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Ironically, having pioneered the preemptive strike targeting another state’s nuclear research facilities with Israel, today Iran’s extensive nuclear research program is threatened with preventative air attacks from Israel and the United States. However, Iran learned from the Osirak strikes: its own nuclear research program is di... read more
Bomber Defender: The XF-85 Goblin was a World War II Interceptor’s Nightmare
*Sebastien Roblin* *XF-85 Goblin, * Its manufacturer called it the “Goblin”—and by looks alone, the egg-shaped jet certainly deserved the name. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Pentagon’s faltering interest stemmed from several new development. Excellent Soviet MiG-15 jets already promised to outperform the XF-85. The Air Force had already ordered a new long-range escort fighter drawing upon wingtip fuel pods resulting in the XF-88 and XF-90 prototypes. And improving aerial-refueling technology promised to soon extend the combat radius of its short-range fighters. Its man... read more

El Paso, surviving a tragedy
One of the most unfortunate outcomes of the pandemic and lockdown is the division, even hatred, it has generated in our country, churches, and relationships--politically, spiritually, and physically. I appreciated this blog by Carrie Bucalo, who wrote about how El Paso came together to pray and work to heal after a shooting on August 3, 2019 that killed 23 at a Walmart wreaked havoc on the community. I scrolled through about 20-30 articles (mainly on the 2nd anniversary of the tragedy) and found only the usual ramping up of hate, alarm, anger, pleas for more gun control laws, and bl... read more
With thermal imaging, the night is no longer your friend

Habitability: Similar Magnetic Activity Links Stellar Types
[image: Story 465099361] Looking at flare activity in young M-dwarf stars, as we did in the last post, brings out a notable difference between these fast-spinning stars and stars like the Sun. Across stellar classifications from M- to F-, G- and K-class stars, there is commonality in the fusion of hydrogen into helium in the stellar cores. But the Sun has a zone at which energy carried toward the surface as radiative photons is absorbed or scattered by dense matter. At this point, convection begins as colder matter moves downward and hot matter rises. This radiative zone giving wa... read more
