Space Force using Spire data to detect satellite jamming
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: military, robotics/AI, satellites
WASHINGTON — A constellation of about 40 geolocation satellites operated by Spire Global is collecting data used by the U.S. Space Force to detect GPS jamming, an issue now gaining worldwide attention due to Russia’s use of electronic warfare tactics in the run-up to the invasion of Ukraine.
“All of our fellow space companies … everyone is playing a vital role for humanity in this battle for freedom and democracy,” Spire CEO Peter Platzer told analysts March 9 in an earnings call.

North Korea test-launched new ‘Hwasong-17’ ICBM for first time, state media says
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: existential risks, military
It claims the ICBM is the largest ever launched.
Reports are in that North Korea have just test-launched their new” Hwasong-17” intercontinental ballistic missile. The longest-range missile platform developed to date by the country, it has been developed, by all accounts, to help “contain” U.S. military threats.
The test launch was guided by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on the 24th of March 2022.

36-million-year-old Fossil of “Sea Monster” Found in Desert
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: military
Rodolfo Salas, chief of paleontology at Peru’s National University of San Marcos, said that the whale was a “sea monster.”
“The most incredible thing is that the skull is in a very good state of preservation, it has complete teeth; it was a first-order predator, at the top of that time that fed on fish penguins; a sea monster just as they imagine it and we think it is a new species,” Salas said.
The “Ocucaje Predator,” as the researchers dubbed it, was about 55 feet long and used its massive, powerful teeth to feed on tuna, sharks and schools of sardines.

Looking at Russia’s war on Ukraine and just wondering if the inventors of these weapons of mass destructions really intended for it to be used for this purpose
Posted by Chima Wisdom in categories: biotech/medical, military
Did they purposely set out to create inventions that will bring death and blood shed?🤔
Usually when drafting a Patent Claim for any invention, the Inventor states the benefits of the invention to the society.
Looking at the picture below i am tempted to ask, of what use are Nuclear bombs and other weapons of mass destruction of benefit to the society?

Australia launches Space Command to counter China
Posted by Raphael Ramos in categories: government, military, space
Australia gets its own space force.
The Australian government yesterday launched the Space Command, a new defense agency with echoes of the US’ Space Force that has been tasked with securing the country’s place in an “already contested” cosmos.
Australian Minister for Defence Peter Dutton said the new defense arm would be modest to start with, although he gave no detailed staffing or budget figures.

An artificial intelligence invents 40,000 chemical weapons in just 6 hours

A.I. is only beginning to show what it can do for modern medicine.
In today’s society, artificial intelligence (A.I.) is mostly used for good. But what if it was not?
Naive thinking “The thought had never previously struck us. We were vaguely aware of security concerns around work with pathogens or toxic chemicals, but that did not relate to us; we primarily operate in a virtual setting. Our work is rooted in building machine learning models for therapeutic and toxic targets to better assist in the design of new molecules for drug discovery,” wrote the researchers in their paper. “We have spent decades using computers and A.I. to improve human health—not to degrade it. We were naive in thinking about the potential misuse of our trade, as our aim had always been to avoid molecular features that could interfere with the many different classes of proteins essential to human life.”
