The Silent Assassin - A New Era of Targeted WarfareDelve into the world of precision weaponry with a deep dive into the Lockheed Martin AGM-114 R9X. This non-explosive missile, designed for targeted elimination, challenges traditional warfare concepts. Explore its technical capabilities, potential implications for global security, and ethical considerations. This analysis explores the Lockheed Martin AGM-114 R9X, a specialized missile designed for precision strikes with minimal collateral damage. Often referred to as the 'Ninja Missile,' the R9X has gained notoriety for its role in high-profile operations. This article delves into the technical specifications, operational history, and implications of this unconventional weapon system. Key Points: Detailed technical breakdown of the R9X's design and functioning. Analysis of the R9X's role in counterterrorism operations, particularly the killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri. Examination of the ethical and legal implications of using such a weapon. Comparative analysis of the R9X with other precision strike systems. Assessment of the R9X's potential for future development and applications. Let's Focus on the Ethical Implications of the R9X The ethical dimensions of the R9X are particularly compelling. Given its precision and the potential to minimize civilian casualties, it raises complex questions about the changing nature of warfare. Hellfire is a low-collateral damage, precision air-to-ground missile with semi-active laser guidance for use against light armor and personnel. Missiles are used on the MQ-9 Reaper. AFSOC dropped previous plans to integrate the weapons onto its AC-130W gunships in favor of the Small Glide Munition. Hellfire is procured through the Army, and numerous variants are utilized based on overseas contingency demands. An MQ-1 Predator employed Hellfire in combat for the first time in Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001. The latest AGM-114R replaces several types with a single, multitarget weapon, and USAF is also buying variable Height-of-Burst (HOB) kits to enhance lethality. The next-generation Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) is also procured via the Army, and adds a new multimode guidance section to the AGM-114R. JAGM is used against high-value moving or stationary targets in all weather. FY21 funds 2,497 Hellfire/JAGM via a common production contract.

$SFRX Long with price target of 2020 high 0.0179¢Seafarer Exploration’s SeaSearcher drone is set to take the treasure-hunting world by storm The current SeaSearcher prototype, getting put to the test in Florida As any frequent viewer of the Discovery Channel will know, the search for sunken treasure typically involves sifting through the sand, just hoping to unearth gold or silver. The SeaSearcher underwater drone, however, may soon point clients right to the booty. Currently in functioning prototype form, the battery-electric SeaSearcher is being developed by Florida startup Seafarer Exploration. It was designed by engineer Tim Reynolds, CEO of partnering company Wild Manta. The vehicle's big claim to fame is that it can detect – and differentiate between – various types of metal buried up to 10 meters (33 ft) beneath the seabed, creating and relaying a 3D digital map of their location. "I've been given the rights to salvage old Spanish and other types of wrecks along the coastline, here in Florida," Seafarer CEO Kyle Kennedy told us. "All these ships used to dock in Havana, they would load up with gold from the New World, and head up the Gulf Stream before heading across the ocean. Storms would sink them, on their routes. There's over a thousand of these shipwrecks, but the problem is, there's never been equipment that would show you where gold and silver was, under the sand." The exact means by which the SeaSearcher does allegedly show you is a closely guarded trade secret. However, we have been told that the drone can descend to depths of up to 100 m (328 ft), then cruise about 1 m (3 ft) above the seafloor, emitting electromagnetic, RF and acoustic waves of varying modulation formats as it does so. Utilizing machine-learning-based algorithms running in real time, it analyzes the manner in which any buried metal objects are "energized" by those waves. As a result, the vehicle is reportedly able to determine the depth at which those objects are located, along with the type of metal they're made of. The SeaSearcher's operator interface displays a 3D map showing the location of buried metal objects Seafarer Exploration In a field test recently conducted at a Florida wreck site, the SeaSeacher didn't find any gold or silver, but it is claimed to have identified brass, iron, copper, aluminum, lead and stainless steel items. The geographical location of the detected metals is determined in two ways. First of all, since radio waves don't travel well through the water, the SeaSearcher tows a floating buoy along the surface above itself. The GPS coordinates of that buoy are recorded and transmitted to the crew, aboard a nearby support boat from which the SeaSearcher was launched. That said, strong currents or rough weather can cause the buoy to end up a fair distance away from the drone – after all, the cable by which it's towed has to contain some slack, meaning it doesn't go straight down to the SeaSearcher. For that reason, a triangulation system developed by the US Navy can also be used. It incorporates a submerged platform which hangs over the side of the support boat, where it sends and receives sonar pings to and from the drone. A rendering of the 2nd-generation SeaSearcher, which will be optimized for use in a towfish configuration Seafarer Exploration The SeaSearcher can be used as an ROV (remotely operated vehicle), an AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) that follows a preprogrammed search pattern, or in a towfish setup, wherein it's towed behind a boat. Since Seafarer doesn't want competitors getting their hands on the technology and figuring out precisely how it works, plans call for the company to instead offer the SeaSearcher and an operator as a service to treasure-hunting clients. Kennedy believes that the service should be available within six months. In the meantime, he hopes to raise funds by using the drone to discover some sunken treasure of his own. "The world doesn't believe that this device works, right now," he said. "As soon as we prove that it works on treasure, we'll do some white papers and independent tests and all that good stuff. But right now, all I need it to do is show me some massive amounts of gold and silver, and then I don't really care what the world thinks." Learn More Here: newatlas.com

Alpine technologies -one step ahead of the drone market!Let's analyze ALPP – Alpine 4 Technologies – this stock has been making big waves and still haven’t hit the mainstream eye of the common investor. So what do they do? many things such as sheet metal manufacturing and other things but we are not here for that we are here for ONE reason – DRONES !!! if you are not in the loop – drone technology is coming in and it's coming in big! from autonomous deliveries to city surveillance and even to Army and espionage missions – what can be better than sending an unmanned vessel to get footage in hostile areas. Drone technology is already being experimented in china at the highest level and the US FAA is now passing new regulations in favor of drone technology as a part of “catching up with the previous highest high”- hope this sentence doesn’t upset the readers but it is true – China is leading in drone technology on the USA at the moment. Alpine bought several companies in the drone sector and one of them is “Impossible Aerospace” which makes high-performance drones, and the company is led by Tesla’s battery developer Spencer Gore. Alpine also bought Vayo this month (January 2021) which is another drone maker and it seems as Alpine is creating a high-level drone environment where almost everything is manufactured “in-house”. If we consider ARKX space ETF that is coming out and stated by Cathie Wood to have drone tech stocks – this stock can have a lot of potential upside room Let's look at the Technicals : The stock has begun rallying up in December from 0.6$ all the way to 4.7 in 18 days – that is a 700% rise !! so obviously what we wanted to see is a massive correction to say this is a healthy trend. We got a correction to the 50% line with accumulation happening between 2.3$ to 3.2$, so what’s next? 1. According to volume analysis and market cycle analysis the stock needs to give us a bit more on the downside to reach 3.13 or so and that’s when we know we are looking at the upside move next. 2. From 3.13 to 3.7 we need to see a zigzag formation (accumulation of orders and new options), this will be fairly fast in my opinion considering the hype on ALPP is rising every day. The break out from this stage will end around 4.5 to 4.7 which is the highest high. 3. From here it will stall a bit and accumulate to the 5$ mark again in a zigzag formation and it will rise to the next target which is above 5$ - eventually touching the 6$ line. This is basing on the fact that the first motive wave has ended on Dec 28th and the volume has significantly decreased showing us the “herd” effect of investors pulling out at this high. So after we get our full correction done we can expect a new motive wave that will end in my opinion over 6$. The company has a great product and well-positioned in the drone race that we at FDGT are very bullish on it. Wishing you all to be safe and trade safe.

Drone USA: Extreme ShortDrone USA looks like it can have a short for a maximum 2 week holding from now given recent announcements of their Howco Distribution Warehouse and drone sales (Yahoo Finance). The drone market is expected to take a more positive boom the next years, especially in 2018. Overall the correlations for Drone USA since going public have been negative for a while. They had a huge downturn in the late 1970s and seemed to never recover. The correlations and prices have been exceedingly flat with not much demand. Overall for a short burst, you can expect a 0.5% profit but given the risk, I would barely invest that much money into it (if at all).
