In the event that you fly as often as possible for work or play, you might be in for a few bothers not too far off. With fuel costs taking off, business bearers have been curtailing flights year over year for as far back as couple of years. Trimming courses, decreasing the recurrence of flights and changing to littler planes are only a couple of the measures aircrafts are taking to trim expenses with expectations of reinforcing the main issue. This implies much longer holds up, more knock flights

Central Idea: Companies are exploring alternative methods to supply internet to hard to reach areas. Introduction I. (Attention Getter) Imagine being able to send a tweet in the middle of the dessert ! How About the middle of the ocean! II. (Audience Adaptation) You may think
Aerostats have some weaknesses, such as limited survivability, mobility and climbing altitude. These properties make aerostats more disadvantageous than other manned or UAVs. On the other hand, aerostats have many opportunities in the near future to improve upon these negative aspects, such as, stronger composite material and sensor innovation. It is concluded that aerostats will be used frequently as primary platforms in surveillance missions within homeland security. Finding: 1. The meaning of
AMOC’s Project and Plans, Operations, and Systems Directorates, AMO Headquarters (HQ) Test and Evaluation (T&E), and the South East Region to participate in the Maritime Lab Demonstration. The Maritime Lab intends to demonstrate the use of a tethered aerostat outfitted with a maritime radar to improve maritime security operations. The demonstration will also include the use of the Minotaur Mission Management System to share surveillance data among aircraft, vessels and command centers. I developed the
gaps, mission needs and requirements. While there is no “air domain awareness” specific CONOPS, these documents have several scenarios describing how resources at the AMOC are utilized to achieve Air Domain Awareness. There is also a Tethered Aerostat Radar System Functional Requirements Document (FRD). Detection Enforcement Officers (DEOs) are responsible for maintaining 24/7 domain awareness of all CONUS air traffic, and the air traffic within 100 nautical miles of U.S. borders. The Air and

SpaceX is planning on sending humans to Mars by the 2030s -- but why not Venus instead? Venus, at least in some ways, is much more like Earth than Mars, Unlike Mars, Venus has a thick atmosphere made of Carbon Dioxide to protect humans from harmful solar radiation, and may allow us to extract Oxygen from. Likewise, Venus also has similar size and gravity to Earth as well. After all, did I mention trips to Venus are much less costly than to Mars? However, it turns out that Mars is much more hospitable
automatic geo-location data tracking. WAPS is already functional and deployed in the USA. WAPS systems can track each pedestrian and vehicle inside an individually numbered “bounding box” while generating a chronograph that is tracked indefinitely. Aerostats, Blimps, Drones, towers and other long endurance vehicles allow this data to be collected via rotating deployments over a given area. As can be seen in the Youtube videos, WAPS systems like ARGUS and PV Labs PSI 3000 are clearly capable of identifying
successfully carrying out their patrol mission. In many cases, the agency’s ability is significantly enhanced using the BSS, which primarily depends on the use of modern technologies. There are two types of the BSS: 1) fixed BSS such as fixed towers, aerostats and remote surveillance video cameras, and 2) mobile BSS such as truck-mounted video units, aircraft and agent portable surveillance units. With these enhanced surveillance assets, the situational awareness
On September 11, 2001 one of the most well-known tragedies occurred. A series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda targeting the World Trade Center, The Pentagon, Shanksville and Manhattan created a disarray within the United States. U.S. intelligence agencies stepped up to investigate the 9/11 attack; therefore, in 2003 former President George W. Bush announced that Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) was in commence. By implementing this order many were called
