New drone carriers are the most dangerous things in the world.



"Illustration of the Jiu Tian drone carrier, the world's largest, poised to revolutionize military operations with drone swarms." (Rude Baguette, “This Isn’t a Ship, It’s a Swarm Factory”: China’s Giant Drone Carrier Alarms Military Analysts Worldwide) The super- and probably hypersonic applications of that system can be more effective than this drone mothership. 

The Chinese drone carrier can be only the beginning of a new type of independent drone swarm carriers. Basically, every type of system can carry drones. Satellites or ballistic missiles can also carry drone capsules. Or things like cluster bomb units can also carry drones. And that makes those systems versatile for many purposes. Regular cargo planes can drop drone swarms from high altitude. 

And things like airships and balloons can also carry capsules that can release drone swarms. A Ukrainian company introduced a small drone boat that carries another drone on its deck. Larger drones can carry more drones than those miniature systems. It’s possible to put quadcopters on the nose of underwater drones and launch those systems underwater. Artificial intelligence gives even small-sized drones the ability to make evasion movements when they detect counterfire. 

Drones can also slip into buildings and observe things like computer screens. Basically, the drone can also insert a USB stick into the targeted system and download computer viruses into that system. A logical bomb is a virus that responds to a certain signal. And that can leave the entire area without defense. A drone can also carry things like a Mesh station. That can link all data that travels on the net to the outsider eavesdropper.

Droneswarms can cause lots of damage in the target areas. The optical fiber makes drones immune to the standard ECM systems. But the high-power EMP can destroy those drones’ electronics. The only weakness of the fiber-optical control system is the wire. If some other drone finds that fiber, it can cut it. Or the laser system can also cut the optical fiber that is behind those drones. But the next step is the AI-controlled drone. The AI allows drones to operate independently without outside control. The laser systems, like optical wireless data transportation, also make it possible to create guidance systems that are hard to jam. 

But those systems require direct contact with the transmitter. This is why things like pseudosatellites or high-altitude platform stations (HAPS) can be the right tools for delivering drone swarms. The HAPS can itself be a robot airplane, balloon, or airship that drops those drone swarms to areas. The drone itself is a multipurpose tool that can search for missing people and give warnings about things like volcanic eruptions. But those systems can also deliver destruction and fear. The high-speed stealth interceptors that can be manned or unmanned systems can deliver drone swarms into the area. Those kamikaze-drones can search and destroy the anti-aircraft systems and keep their crews busy, when the other systems attack harder targets. 

Laser- and microwave-based systems can destroy drone swarms. But those systems must detect drones before they can act. There is always the possibility that drones can travel on the ground or underwater, and then another drone that hits a laser or microwave weapon from behind can destroy those weapons. The power that those systems use should be so high that they destroy the physical components of drone swarms.

Drone swarms will manufacture airplanes and even Mars bases.



"Visualization of a future-state aerospace manufacturing facility powered by swarm robotics." (IE, US to unleash robot swarms to build smart aircraft with speed, precision, safety)

When we think about robots we must realize that robots are not like any animal. The crab-looking manufacturing robots can also have a quadcopter. A system that helps to carry them to points where they cannot climb. Those robots can carry items that 3D printers make or they can be 3D printers. The robot swarm can also look like a humanoid robots. That can turn any factory into automatic. 

The drone swarms will manufacture aircraft and quite many other things. The drone that makes the 3D structures is like a spider or crab. The system can also involve quadcopters equipped with systems that can create high-temperature welding work. The quadcopters and other drones are more flexible than the regular welding systems. And that makes them suitable for many types of building works. One place where that kind of system is suitable is the planet Mars. 

The system can involve the unit where the system melts and separates iron from Martian stones. That can happen using microwave-based centrifugal separation. The system can make iron wire that those drones can use to make metal structures like greenhouse domes for the Red Planet. The system requires carbon which is necessary for steel structures. 




Those quadcopters can make many things on Mars and those systems that can make 3D structures under the AI control are tools that can also fix the holes on the spacecraft body. Those systems can also operate in underwater areas, and they can also make it possible to fix and build structures for submarines. The drone swarms can also fix things like undersea oil tubes and gas tubes. 

But the most interesting thing is the robot-manufacturing system that turns texts into robots. The AI copilot handles the principles of robotics. Those systems can follow spoken words or written text, and make any kind of robot that the user (customer) wants. This kind of system is the tool that makes it possible to transform the AI 's-generative tools into a new form. Modern co-pilots like Chat-GPT, Gemini, and Microsoft copilot can make images from texts. But the new system turns those images into real merchandise. 

That means those systems that can turn the texts into robots can be connected to the drone-swarm manufacturers. The system can make a robot or even a house or ship using virtual reality. The system creates a CAD image that it transforms into a photorealistic image. The system can get things like the size of the thing that drones should make. Then it fits that thing like a house to the landscape image. 

In the final stage, the system can use holograms to make sure that the house or any other thing fits into that point. The system can use a virtual dome like the group of quadcopters to locate other drones in their positions. The drone swarms can also use the internal location system where those drones locate each other. That system makes it possible to control those drones with a very high accuracy.

China builds the world's largest underwater drone.


"Smaller than regular diesel-electric submarines, China's latest vessel has torpedo tubes (Representational image)" (Interesting Engineering, China secretly building ‘world’s largest underwater drone’ with torpedo tubes)

The new Chinese submarine is smaller than the regular diesel-electric submarines. That means those vessels can be new and deadly drones. Those systems are larger than U.S. Navy Orca, autonomous underwater vehicle, AUV, systems. That makes those Chinese submarine drones more multipurpose than Orca. 

Researchers think that those new submarines can dock to the larger submarines and they can operate in various underwater missions. The submarine can carry smaller drones to the target. Those drones can be underwater caterpillars intelligent torpedoes, or underwater kamikaze drones. That submarine can be like matrioshka. There can be quadcopters that can operate airborne and underwater. 

They also have torpedo tubes, so they can attack other vessels like submarines and ground targets using missiles. And maybe. The Chinese military tests the robot combat swimmers which can operate like human combat swimmers. We all know the Chinese interest in robotics and its military applications. 


(Intersting Engineering, China secretly building ‘world’s largest underwater drone’ with torpedo tubes)

One version to make the submarine drone is to use human-shaped, humanoid robots as operators for regular submarines whose food and beds are replaced by computers. The thing is that the Chinese military and the state of China are not funding humanoid robot research just for fun. In China, nothing happens without military and governmental acceptance. 

Military applications are the primary objective in that country. And the AI-driven submarines are dangerous because they can act in both roles. They can have regular torpedos and missiles. But they can also carry internal warheads. That they can use as the last chance. The idea is that a very large internal warhead forms a giant tsunami that can destroy large areas in coastal lines. That kind of weapon can also destroy all naval and civil vessels in large ocean areas. 

That means those things can be very nasty tools. But those drones may only begin for more powerful and dangerous submarine drones. There are visions that maybe, quite soon, some state will bring full-scale nuclear submarine drones to oceans. Sometimes is speculated that the Russian Status-6, 100-megaton nuclear torpedo could be that kind of vessel. The submarine can navigate to its target using the ocean floor images in the sonar-based TERCOM system. 

And then they can shoot targets or they can explode nuclear warheads inside them. The nuclear submarine has space and nuclear reactors that can give energy to the supercomputers. And that means those submerged vehicles can operate independently. The gravity measurements along with ocean floor maps make them independent from satellite communication and satellite navigation.

The new Chinese drones can be frightening tools.






"Scientists have addressed most of the technical challenges related to the new laser drone. "(Representational image) (InterestingEngineering, China: Drones equipped with new tech to emit metal-cutting laser beams)

The new Chinse nasty drone creates metal-cutting laser beams. That kind of drone can be a real game changer in the military and civil work. The metal-cutting lasers can destroy many targets. But they can also used in civil work like cutting metals in demolition sites. Those drones can also bulldoze the metals away from the accident zone. 

But as we know. Metal-cutting drones are multi-use equipment. The same drone can cut the cannon tubes. Aim their metal-cutting lasers at ammunition dumps or communication antennas. They can cut airplane wings and cut power lines. Those drones are perfect tools for assassination missions. High-power carbon monoxide lasers are dangerous tools in the wrong hands. 


"An illustration of China's secretive Shenlong space plane in orbit. (Image credit: Erik Simonsen via Getty Images)" (LiveScience, China's secret space plane has released another unknown object over Earth)





Sources: LiveScience and Gizmodo

In December 2023 and July 2024. The Chinese top secret miniature shuttle Shenlong released so-called wingman objects. Those objects can be the transportation and return tanks for quadcopters that can make many missions on the battlefield and other missions. The satellite-controlled quadcopters can be released into the atmosphere and then the return capsule releases those quadcopters at the right altitude. 


The Chinese shuttle orbiter can drop those drones to operational areas. It's possible. The small silent or passive objects near the Chinese miniature shuttle were the transportation capsules for those quadcopters. The nuclear isotope batteries make those drones capable even of intercontinental operations. A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) is a tool that gives those drones even years of operational ability. And that gives those drones the capacity to travel all around the Earth. 

The power of those lasers can be enormous. In comparison to their size, multiple drones aim their lasers at one point. The system can also use the lead ray. Which is more powerful than the laser rays that other drones transmit into it. 

That system works like crossing water flows. The more powerful laser ray pulls other laser rays with it. That thing means that the system that uses quite small lasers can create quite powerful laser beams by connecting multiple laser beams together. The system looks like a little bit of a Death Star's laser system. 

The metal-cutting drones can cut holes into the submarine's pressure hulls and they can make damage to rockets. The thing that makes those drones problematic is that they can also have a role in civil work. In some visions, the drones have 3D printing systems that can make metal structures. Lasers can used to melt metal wire for the system. 

And they can be used to finish the layers. It's possible that in the futuristic shipyards, those quadcopters can build even large-scale structures. The thing is that those laser drones are the tools that can operate even on other planets. The drone swarms with artificial intelligence can be used for many purposes. But. Those laser drones can be the tool that can destroy many high-priority targets.

Drones have new missions. From Jupiter's moons to a depth of oceans.


"In the Sensing With Independent Micro-Swimmers (SWIM) concept, illustrated here, dozens of small robots would descend through the icy shell of a distant moon via a cryobot – depicted at left – to the ocean below. The project has received funding from the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech" (ScitechDaily, Could NASA’s Tiny Robots Discover Life on Europa?)

The most impressive mission for drones or independently operating miniature submarines will be the search for life from Jupiter's moon Europa. The thing is that also two other large moons, Ganymede and Callisto could have similar oceans under their icy surfaces. 

And the third Galilean moon, Io has sulfur volcanoes that are also interesting geological objects. But the main object for that mission could be Europa, the icy moon with icy geysers. The probe can slip the small submarine into those geysers and maybe they can reach the ocean under that icy surface. The done can communicate with the surface unit by using sonars. 



"After completing testing, the Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites (RSGS) payload resides in the cryogenic thermal vacuum chamber at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory’s Naval Center for Space Technology in Washington, D.C. Oct. 8, 2024. Once on-orbit, the RSGS payload will inspect and service satellites in geosynchronous orbit. Credit: U.S. Navy photo by Sarah Peterson" (ScitechDaily, DARPA’s Robots to the Rescue: Transforming Satellite Maintenance in Space)

Large-size drone swarms can cover large areas under the icy surface. They can have only a limited number of sensors. But those drones make sensor fusion. And the drone swarm behaves like one bigger platform. This means. Those drones can carry similar sensors. As one large probe or aircraft. But the difference is that those sensors are under different independently operating bodies. And if one of those drones is gone, that doesn't make the failure to the entire mission.  

And that nuclear-powered unit will find a strange water world that is interesting even if there are no living organisms. But those small, long-lasting, independently operating drones can also have missions on Earth. The small AI-controlled drones can also operate in icy lakes under the Antarctean and Greenland icy shells. Things like closed caves and underwater water routes can also be places. That those drones can map. 

"In this illustration, a NASA space exploration concept called Probe using Radioisotopes for Icy Moons Exploration, or PRIME, is depicted being deployed from a lander on the frozen surface of an ocean world. The nuclear-powered probe, also called a cryobot, glows red in the subsurface ocean while connected via a communications tether to a lander miles above on the icy crust. Wedge-shaped, cellphone-size robots – another concept, called Sensing With Independent Micro-Swimmers, or SWIM – are seen traveling off underwater to conduct science beyond the heat of the probe. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech" (ScitechDaily, Could NASA’s Tiny Robots Discover Life on Europa?)

They can collect information about the closed ecosystems. That can be isolated even for thousands of years. But the same systems. That can map and research insects. Also, can collect data from other things. Drones can collect information about underwater systems like submarines. The new radar systems can follow underwater acoustic communication. The same systems can also search for information from the targeted people's discussions. 




The radars can search for things like pressure waves from air or water. And they can used to record the things that people say. Water carries sound at a very long distance. And the system that can measure the oscillation of the water surface can break the privacy of people, who are not careful. The submarine that travels in the water lines can eavesdrop on people in their houses and even the army headquarters. 

The new innovative robots can act as maintenance missions for spacecraft. They could repair the unmanned satellites and probes if they face problems. The repairing robot is the tool that can make the things like large-size, nuclear-powered drones more effective. They can be sure that the expensive system can fulfill its mission.  But similar robots can also fix other underwater drones and structures. The undersea robot can also make it possible to return unmanned systems that return from intelligence or strike missions.

Can kamikaze drones endanger the entire state?



Kamikaze drones or loitering ammunition are tools that are proven effective against Russia. But can those loitering ammunition endanger the Western military? If security personnel are not prepared. Those things can destroy soft targets like jet fighters. The kamikaze drones are excellent tools for surprise attacks. The attacker can bring them near targets in plastic bags. 

Or those drones can look like briefcases or canning jars. And if those drones can travel to a target without nobody disturbing them, they can cause bad damage at least stealth fighters and electric supply. If we think about things like cases where small-size drones are used to attack those drones can threaten a person's safety. They are almost perfect assassination tools. And that makes those systems very dangerous. 




Above: Implet, or contact mine, used in "Frankton" operation


When we think about things like ships and especially submarines the underwater quadcopters can cause new threats to marine systems. The quadcopter can carry similar contact mines to those used by British commandoes in the "Frankton" operation in Bordeaux harbor in, 1942. 

Those commandoes used contact mines and today things like stealth fighters or agents can deliver those destructive systems to the harbour. And then. They can search for targets like submarines and ships and connect to them using suction cups or other low-pressure systems. 

The system can work with a low-pressure chamber. When ventilation opens the system touches the hull of the ship. 

The pressure system's mission is to make ammunition contact and stay on antimagnetic hulls.  The system can use the cavity charge or regular explosive. The system can use image-ID and acoustic target recognition. It can prowl targets at the bottom of the harbors. 

Those devices can damage submarines or surface ships very badly. So if we think that drones can give a solution to the war, we must realize that there are many counteractions against them. But the problem is if those counter actions do not exist or they are not used drones are effective. Small-size drones can dropped to operational areas or near targets from aircraft. They can search things like bunker's entrances or missile silos. And. Those systems can also be used to eavesdrop and image intelligence.

The tiger awakens.



The new and powerful technology is the tool, that is one of the most dangerous things in the wrong hands. Wrong hands are our counter-players in the global theater. The image in the middle of the text introduces the new Chinese large-size sea drone. The robot ship can be the tool for next-generation naval power. The ship itself looks like some kind of yacht, but it's armed and dangerous. Fast and powerful sea drones that use things like Mach-6-10 railguns are feared things. 

The Chinese military is interested in AI. It is a tool that can make many systems more trusted than manned systems. The problem with manned submarines. A and warships is that they are out of control when they are at sea. That is problematic for the People's Republic of China. The authoritarian communist party causes hate, and especially new high-accurate weapons make warships dangerous for the nation's leaders. The Chinese military has modernized its weapons and other systems. The new tools are large-scale surface and underwater drones. 



"China unveils ‘Killer Whale’ stealth drone ship. The vessel which has a range of more than 7,000km will go on display alongside a collection of aerial drones at the Zhuhai air show" (SCMP, China unveils ‘Killer Whale’ stealth drone ship"

Those large- or full-size surfaces and underwater robots are following predictions. The large-size warships and nuclear submarines have space and electricity for highly advanced computers. That the AI is required to control those systems. The predictions about the full-size nuclear submarine drones that can patrol years underwater were made over 20 years ago. Those nuclear submarines can host any supercomputers. 


"A new photo has emerged of China’s mysterious stealthy corvette or light frigate, an intriguing design with low-observable features, which you can read more about here. In fact, the latest photo raises more questions than it answers, in particular, the presumed HQ-10 surface-to-air missile launcher at the rear of the deckhouse apparently being something else entirely." (TWZ.com, Our Best Look At China’s Stealthy Experimental Corvette)

The new robot surface combatants are a demonstration of the ideas and innovations. The People's Liberation Army wants to introduce the Western navies. When it demonstrates its power. The Chinese military uses industrial spying to steal information. That makes it possible to create new tools for the PLA. The PLA's new stealth corvette looks very much like Swedish Visby class corvettes. The thing is that things like magnetic rail guns that accelerate the ammunition to the speed of Mach 6-10 are things that make those corvettes deadlier than any Western vessels. Those railguns can sweep bunkers out from the beach and damage even large vehicles. 


"China’s rail gun sends smart bomb into stratosphere at hypersonic speed, then something goes wrong. Winged projectile achieves Mach 5, reaching altitude of 15km in test but was sent off course by rotation speeds, investigation shows. Lu Junyong and his team identified the cause of the problem with the help of artificial intelligence and propose solutions in peer-reviewed paper" (SCMP. China’s rail gun sends smart bomb into stratosphere at hypersonic speed, then something goes wrong)

The underwater systems that can shoot missiles, including hypersonic missiles are a very bad threat to Western navies. Those, possibly, nuclear-powered systems can hide underwater even years. And then they can also wait at the enemy, or predict enemy coasts to attack. The large-size robots can carry smaller robots that can slip into the enemy area. 

The new advanced systems are tools that can bring global politics and U.S. support to a critical point. The new advanced systems require more advanced counter systems than predicted. This means that the Pentagon must share also its latest equipment with the Far East and European theaters.
