On 27FEB2014, a public demonstration was made of a new technology that supposedly would make human pilots for helicopters a thing of the past.  Over U.S. Marine Corps Base Quantico, in Virginia, a Boeing AH/MH-6 (aka MD 500) combat (yes, the MD500 is mainly a combat ‘copter, not cargo) rotary wing was supposedly flown by AACUS, a system of software and sensors, which purportedly could be applied to any existing helicopter.

“This is a Navy-Marine Corps team project. We’ve taken a landing system that can autonomously land an unmanned helicopter or aircraft into a very dangerous landing zone, potentially with the touch of a tablet. This is an expeditionary type of capability and there was no better place to test it than Quantico.”-Rear Admiral Matt Klunder

Then on 20MAR2014, over Marine Corps Base Quantico, a Kaman K-Max cargo helicopter was also flown by AACUS, mounted on the belly between the main landing gear.

According to the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps (USN/USMC), as of April 2014, AACUS had  cost taxpayers $98-million, since the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Innovative Naval Prototype program was started in 2012.

In December 2015, another AACUS demonstration was held using a Bell 206L (aka Kiowa), this time at the Flying Circus Aerodrome located in Bealeton, Virginia.

Between February 2017 and November 2017, more public demonstrations, this time with a Viet Nam era Bell UH-1H ‘Huey’, and this time they were really talking-up AACUS: “This is more than just an unmanned helicopter. AACUS is an autonomy kit that can be placed on any rotary-wing platform and provide it with an autonomous capability. Imagine a Marine Corps unit deployed in a remote location, in rough terrain, needing ammunition, water, batteries or even blood. With AACUS, an unmanned helicopter takes the supplies from the base, picks out the optimal route and best landing site closest to the warfighters, lands, and returns to base once the resupply is complete, all with the single touch of a handheld tablet.”-Walter Jones, Executive Director of ONR

However, Lieutenant General Robert Walsh, of Marine Corps Combat Development Command, admitted they still didn’t know what to do with this latest & greatest technology, saying “…it’s up to us to determine how to use it…”

Officials with the AACUS program also pointed out that the system can also be used to help human pilots in inclement weather: “It can be used as a pilot aid in degraded visual environments…”-Dennis Baker, AACUS program officer

USMC dramatic music video explainer,  by Sergeant Laiqa Hitt, 13DEC20217:

It was also revealed that AACUS is a technology that is part of the Department of Defense’s Force 2025, a modernization program started in 1995 and based on hypotheticals of what future warfare my require.  Each branch of the DoD has their own term for it, the USMC calls theirs Marine Corps Force 2025, and for fiscal year 2017 they claimed that Phase II of Force 2025 was “way ahead”.

Integrated Training Exercise 3-18 (in May 2018) is considered the first time an AACUS flown rotary wing aircraft flew, and delivered cargo, during a wargame.

Not much has been reported about AACUS since 2018, but in 2021, Vertical Magazine revealed that wildfire fighting contractor Columbia Helicopters was working with Aurora Flight Systems to apply AACUS to be able to conduct aerial fire fighting at night.

On 10JAN2022, Aurora Flight Sciences revealed they were working on an upgraded AACUS which will use ‘detect & avoid’ systems to prevent midair collisions, and a ‘GPS-Denied’ system (All Source Position, Navigation, and Timing, aka ASPNT) to allow robot aircraft to fly where GPS is not available.

Aurora Flight Sciences is a subsidiary of Boeing, they are also involved with programs to integrate humans and robots, and developing anti-drone systems.

In June 2022, the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (aka CAL FIRE) made the first, ever in the U.S., series of night time water bombings on a wildfire called the Electra Fire. The Sikorsky S70i Fire Hawk was modified by United Rotorcraft, there was no indication what type of night flying system was being used.

In September 2017, the U.S. Army conducted a robot helicopter operation using two Bell 206s (officially called RMAX UAS) to lift a 20 pound object and then fly it through an aerial obstacle course over Moffett Federal Airfield, California.  It is part of the Army’s AMRDEC Aviation Development Directorate autonomous program, ongoing since 2002.

World War 3: U.S./NATO “no significant effect” in Ukraine!

Video

24 June 2022  (14:20-UTC-07 Tango 06) 03 Tir 1401/24 Dhu l-Qa’da 1443/26 Bing-Wu 4720

“Let me remind you that three types of 155-mm artillery are already working successfully on the front lines: M777 howitzers, FH70 howitzers and CAESAR SPHs. It was simply impossible to imagine this back in March. But today it is already a reality which materialized due to great teamwork led by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.”-Ministry of  Defence of Ukraine propaganda, 28MAY2022, proven by Austrian military academy analysts to be a failure

More proof that United States President Joseph R. Biden Junior has still not delivered on his promise of rocket artillery, like the MLRS and HIMARS, and that artillery gun systems, like the old M109 and newer M777, cannot out distance the Russian systems. In an earlier article it was pointed out that the M777 towed guns were delivered without the equipment that will allow it to fire longer range ammo.

Only NATO Germany’s PanzerHaubite (PzH) 2000, and NATO France’s CAESAR (CAmion Equipé d’un Système d’ARtillerie), are the only artillery systems delivered to Ukraine, so far, that can outrange the Russian systems.  However, the numbers of PzH 2000 and CAESARs promised are just a piddly fraction of what Ukraine needs, and have yet to be delivered.

Video posted 22JUN2022, showing Russian ‘V’ (?, maybe Z) forces using an old-skool Cold War era towed rocket launcher against Ukrainian forces in Ugledar area:

Some NATO countries are sending more artillery systems, but they are the old Soviet era systems, like the 2S1 and 2S3, which do not give Ukraine a tactical advantage.

Music video, posted 09JUN2022, of Cold War era BM-27 220mm Uragan rocket launcher being used by Russian ‘Z’ forces against Ukraine:

Russian ground forces are so not worried about the U.S./NATO artillery ‘support’, that they themselves are using outdated artillery systems against Ukraine. This video was posted on 23JUN2022, showing Russians using Cold War era 152mm towed guns and BM-21 rocket launchers:

Another major problem for the U.S./NATO is that many of the delivered weapon systems (like the Javelin) were captured by Russian forces and are now being used by them against Ukraine!

The Österreichs Bundesheer (Austrian Federal-army) Theresian Military Academy critiques the U.S./NATO weapon systems being sent to Ukraine, pointing out that the amount are far below what Ukraine actually needs, and Ukrainians are not being properly trained on these weapons, resulting in “no significant effect on the battlefield” for Ukraine:

Austria is not a member of NATO but does take part in NATO’s Partnership for Peace operations.

At the beginning of June 2022, and while many Idaho National Guard personnel are still deployed/deploying overseas, as well as to other locations within the United States, about 2-thousand National Guard artillery personnel from California, Iowa, North Carolina, Utah, and an Army Reserve unit from Texas (2-364 Training Support Battalion ), as well as Active Army ‘gods’ (Observer, Coach, Trainers aka OCTs from 189th Infantry Brigade) from Washington, invaded Southwestern Idaho!

Dodge pickup spontaneously bursts into flames! Area 51?

Image

Until 2010, the Nevada National Security Site was known as the Nevada Test Site/Sandia National Laboratories.

Nevada Test Site photo, 09JUL1986.

In July 1986, a relatively new Dodge Ram pickup suddenly caught fire, or rather whatever it had in the bed of the truck suddenly caught fire.

Nevada Test Site photo, 09JUL1986.

These photos came with no explanation, only with vague reference to “fire testing” and “fire effects”.  The photos are titled as “General Test Truck Fire”.  I have a problem with it being referred to as a ‘test’, the photos clearly show that the Dodge was being driven along a road when the fire burst out.

Nevada Test Site photo, 09JUL1986.

It pulled over, as did vehicles behind it.  Photos show items in the pickup bed were thrown out in an effort to prevent them from burning, an unused fire extinguisher is still in the bed, and the cab where the driver sits also caught fire.

Nevada Test Site photo, 09JUL1986.

One photo is focused on two strange looking boxes/electrical components that have suffered fire damage.

Nevada Test Site photo, 09JUL1986.

Perhaps this truck was being used to carry materials to conduct ‘fire testing’, and those flammable materials burst into flames under the hot Nevada Sun?  By the way, Area 51 is officially part of the U.S. Air Force’s Nevada Test and Training Range, not the Nevada Test Site.

Last year, the Idaho Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion of the 148th Field Artillery Regiment (FAR), headquartered in Pocatello, trained to use the M1156 Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) for guided artillery rounds, but that was in next door Wyoming.  However, despite what information was released to the public last year, it turns out they did not actually fire ‘live’ PGK rounds, due to lack of time.

Biden’s War 2021: IDAHO GETS ‘SMART’ ARTILLERY ROUNDS, REVEALS “UPCOMING MOBILIZATIONS”

Idaho National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Becky Vanshur, 20MAY2022.

During the month of May, this year, the 148th FAR finally launched ‘live’ M1156 PGK rounds, on the Orchard Combat Training Center in Southwestern Idaho. It is all part of the plan to prepare for the upcoming global war with ‘near peer threats’: “The Idaho Army National Guard continues to receive and train on some of the military’s most modernized equipment so we can remain relevant and ready to defend our nation’s interest anywhere in the world. The Idaho Army National Guard is one of the most modernized states in the Army National Guard, with equipment that enhances our capability to be interoperable with our active-duty peers.”-Brigadier General Farin Schwartz

Idaho National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Becky Vanshur, 20MAY2022.

This modernization also makes Idaho Army National Guard even more ‘deployable’ than it already is: “Being PGK certified greatly increases the lethality of the field artillery battalion.”-Lieutenant Colonel Brady Johnson, commander 1-148th FAR

Idaho Army National Guard photo by Crystal Farris, 17MAY2022.

The M1156 PGK not only makes the artillery round more accurate, but supposedly has a safety that prevents the round from exploding if it happens to stray 150 meters outside the programed target area: “With the new technological advancements of today, it’s vital for us to be modernized. The 1-148th is really good at what we do, but with the new PGK, we are even better, hitting targets with every single round. This type of weaponry is going to be crucial on the current battlefield.”-Sergeant First Class Mike Taylor, 1-148th FAR master gunner

Idaho National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Becky Vanshur, 20MAY2022.

Bean counters argue that despite the PGK round costing thousands more than an unguided round, far fewer of the supposedly more accurate PGK rounds will be needed, thereby actually saving taxpayers’ some money: “The modernized weaponry allows 18 separate targets to be simultaneously targeted and attacked at a third the cost of conventional missions…..”-Lieutenant Colonel Brady Johnson, commander 1-148th FAR

The U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA) Chemical and Biological Technologies Department is funding MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) to develop Artificial Intelligence (A-I) and other so-called deep learning technologies in order to fast-forward scientific data regarding Pandemic treatments, especially the use of Remdesivir (aka Veklury) in drug ‘cocktails’.  Believe it or not, this is a result of an order by the administration of United States President Joseph R. Biden Junior.

The DTRA also admitted that a horse drug called Molnupiravir, created to treat Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis, was used in treating humans for The Pandemic, and it work well as a “repurposed” drug for humans! Repurposing drugs for the current Pandemic, and future pandemics, involves combining them with other drugs. The DTRA hopes a new A-I/deep learning system will speed that process up greatly.

MIT has already been conducting their own A-I/deep learning for repurposing drugs for Pandemic use (Deep learning identifies synergistic drug combinations for treating COVID-19).  MIT is using a deep learning system called ComboNet.

Drugs that play well with each other are called synergistic drugs. The biggest advantages of synergistic drugs is lower doses with much better results. ComboNet discovered that Remdesivir works even better as a synergistic drug!

Image via Gilead Sciences.

ComboNet has already suggested mixing Remdesivir with Reserpine (high blood pressure treatment), or with IQ-1S (an experimental JNK Inhibitor, used to treat cancer cells).

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration recent approved Remdesivir for people aged 28 days (not years, days) and older with mild to moderate Pandemic infection, hospitalized or not.

Vehicle I-D: M93 Fox NBCRSV, Cold War & beyond

Image

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

The M93 NBCRSV/NBCRV (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Reconnaissance System Vehicle) was first pseudo-secretly unveiled during the last Cold War battle known as Desert Storm.  It was based on the West German Transportpanzer Fuchs, which began service with that NATO country in 1979 (after more than a decade of development).  The U.S. Army’s development of the M93 Fox was the result of a decision in 1976 to restart a dedicated NBC organization.

In 1988, the XM93 began its developmental teething pains on Fort Stewart, Georgia.  It progressed to XM93E1 phase, then in June 1995 was approved for upgrade to M93A1 (aka Block 1 upgrade), the A1 upgrade was completed in October 1998 (the official year it began service despite being used during Desert Storm in 1991), finally upgraded to M93A1P1 (‘up-armored’ and .50cal Remote Weapons Station) in 2007. There is a newer M93A1P2 variant, however, eventually all M93s will be replaced by the new Stryker NBCRSV.

In April 1996, the U.S. Marine Corps created its own Chemical Biological International Reaction Force (CBIRF).  In 1997, the CBIRF held its first wargame in which they put their new M93s (modified German Fuchs) to the test.

By the end of 1997, there were only four M93A1s operating in the Western U.S. There was a concern that U.S. Marines on Twentynine Palms, California, would not recognize the M93A1 as a U.S. vehicle, so photos were issued including night vision photos.

During the last Cold War battle, against Iraq in 1991, the U.S. Army deployed its experimental XM93 Fox Nuclear-Biological-Chemical (NBC, today is called CBRNE) reconnaissance system.  It was assigned to a U.S. Marine Corps division.  The U.S. Marine Corps publication Liberating Kuwait says, on page 172, “During the breaching process, one of the division’s  XM93 Fox chemical reconnaissance vehicles reported a possible chemical weapon, and all of the Marines in the two divisions went to the highest mission-oriented protective posture.”

The XM93 went through more testing as it was found that the NBC capabilities were not satisfactory. Finally, in 1995 the XM93 was accepted as the M93A1 (aka Block 1 improved), despite still falling short of U.S. Army standards. The U.S. military did not buy new Foxes for the M93A1 designation, they simply upgraded their more than 120 XM93s (some of which were acquired secretly/without Congressional knowledge during Desert Storm). The latest upgrade (order placed in August 2007 to upgrade 18 vehicles at a cost of $56.5-million) is known as the M93A1P1. It has been used by both the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, but eventually will be replaced by  the Stryker NBCRV (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle).
