Space is the new battlefield.

The same systems that collect space junk from space. They can also collect functional satellites and drop them into the atmosphere. This means that those systems can also be used. As satellite-killers. The ASAT missile can carry a so-called E-bomb that destroys the targeted satellite’s electronics. We know that the Soviets have tested killer satellites since the 1960s. First, those systems were primitive. 

Satellites that collide with other satellites. Then the Soviet space force. It started the large-scale program called the Almaz. That program included machine gun-armed satellites. Manned and unmanned systems, miniature shuttles. And many other things. Like spaceborne nuclear weapons. The purpose was to destroy other satellites. The problem was that those methods filled the space with debris. 

The problem with machine guns was their recoil. That could push the killer satellite out of its position. The answer could be the rocket ammunition. The Gyrojet- type machine gun. It used. Rocket bullets against its target. The Gyrojet was not successful in ground operations. But they can be effective in killer satellites. The satellite that orbits in the same trajectory. 

But. In contrast to the targeted satellite, it doesn’t require as high a muzzle velocity as a regular rifle. The kinetic energy. The satellites have increased the impact energy. The effect is the same as in cases. Those cars are going into a head-on collision. If. The speed of both of those cars is 100 km/h. The impact speed in a head-on collision is 200 km/h. In the same way, the bullet behaves. If. It is shot against a satellite trajectory. 

Or the system can use the centrifugal cannons. Those cannons accelerate ammunition by using spinning plates. It’s possible that these kinds of systems can be mounted on board the MiG-105 “Spiral” (Epos) space plane. The machine gun. It can be in the space plane cargo bay. And it can shoot upwards to selected targets. 

Satellites have a very important role in modern warfare. And this is the reason why they are also important targets for attackers. Things like killer satellites, cyberattacks, and jammer systems can affect those satellites. Most of those attempts to jam satellites can be carried out using some kind of hacking attack. The hacker attack can involve attempts to install computer viruses on the targeted satellite operating systems. Or hackers can try to take control of those satellites. 

Another version is. To use jammers to block satellite communication. One version can accumulate plasma around satellites. The satellite will be covered using plasma layers. And that makes them unable to communicate using radio signals. The satellite can use laser communication instead of radio communication. But that means that. Those satellites cannot use their radars. And in the case of the radar satellites. The plasma can block their radars. More effective and powerful systems are EMP weapons. 

Those systems use high-power radio impulses to destroy the satellite electronics. Those systems can be the ground-based radars with extremely powerful transmitting power. Those radars can use crossing radio waves. There are the plus and minus radio waves. With the same frequency, cross at the point of targeted satellites. That should damage the satellite’s electronics. The killer satellite can affect targeted satellites in many ways. The satellite can close the target in the massive fishnet or bag. 

MiG-105 Spiral 

And then it pulls the target to the atmosphere. It can use manipulators to throw a satellite. Out of its trajectory. The killer satellite. It can have lasers. That drills holes into the target’s shell and damages electronics. The same satellite. That was created for space junk collection. It can also collect functional satellites from orbit. And then drive them to the sea. Or they can transport them to the Plesetsk cosmodrome, the Russian northern space center. 

These engineers can observe their critical information. Like communication and radar frequencies. And that helps them to create jammers against those radars. The killer satellite can also collide with the targeted satellite. Or it can have space bazookas for kill devices. The killer satellite that impacts with other satellites can also fill the trajectory with space junk. But things like ABM missiles can have a microwave or EMP bomb that destroys the satellite’s electronics. The system can have a conventional or nuclear bomb-based EMP system. 

In some models, the killer satellite carries a neutron bomb. That creates the needed EMP impulse. The bomb will be detonated in the air tank. The system can create plasma in that tank. And then the system detonates the neutron warhead in that tank. The detonation forms. The EMP pulse. As it forms in the atmosphere. If the satellite has the capacitors. It can load. The needed transmitting power from the solar panels. 

There is also a possibility. The killer satellite can be. In a very high altitude trajectory. The system can be.  In a stationary position. The system can launch the kill vehicles that may push targeted satellites to the atmosphere. 

The satellite killer can also operate with the spaceborne trawl net. The attacker will close the targeted satellite. In that trawl. And then pull it into the atmosphere. The killer satellite needs a very effective computer. There is a possibility. That defenders want to jam the killer satellite’s control signals. This means that. A killer-satellite requires. A high-power AI to search and eliminate its targets.

The Pentagon and SpaceX cooperation goes deeper.

Image: TWZ

The Pentagon and SpaceX cooperation goes deeper. When new deals are made with satellite-based early warning networks and the LUCAS Kamikaze-drone connection with Starlink. Will be turned. Into reality. That is the next step. To the Starlink and Pentagon cooperation. These types of plans also accelerate the militarization of space. The systems that track. Own troops. And guiding smart weapons. Are. Vital for successful military operations. That makes them high-potential targets for anti-satellite systems, ASATs. If those satellites can be shot down. That decreases the enemy's ability to control and command warfare. 

This means that those satellites must be equipped with self-defense systems. And those active systems can also be used to destroy other satellites. 

But the price is that. If the deliverer of the service. Shuts it down. So, there is no service. These kinds of deals raise the power. Of the private industry at the Pentagon. Those contracts. They fall into the hands of well-known, trusted service providers. That increases SpaceX's power in space. 

The Pentagon’s dependence on SpaceX continues to grow. The Pentagon awarded. A $4B contract with SpaceX to create a satellite network. The purpose of that network is to track aircraft and hypersonic missiles from space. The system should include the optical and radar systems, boosted with AI. The system can track any aircraft. From the atmosphere with a very high accuracy and speed. The system should replace the old E-3 Sentry AEW&C aircraft. The E-3 plays a vital role in tracking low-flying objects. But things like anti-radiation missiles can endanger that aircraft’s missions. 

It’s possible that things like drones with the lookdown radars and optical sensor packs can replace the E-3. And those systems can share information with the fighters, ships, and ground units. And connect sea, land, and airborne command posts to networks. That communicates. In real-time. With  the overseas military command centers. 

Image: TWZ

In the same way. Those E-3 “Sentrys” are not. A very good tool for tracking very high-altitude hypersonic missiles. That travels in the high atmosphere. This is the reason why a new global system is needed. That can get and share. 

Mission-critical information for AA and aircraft to destroy incoming hypersonic missiles. And this is the reason. A new satellite-based system is needed. The satellite network with optical sensors can replace the traditional GPS. The aircraft can send. The location information is transmitted to those optical satellites. Using laser rays. And then those satellites send the image. Of the flying area. The aircraft travels back to that aircraft using lasers. The laser dot shows the stealth fighter's position to the satellites. Those satellites will use AI and hivemind technology. For tracking and following targets. 

Another thing that is interesting. It is the connection between the Starlink systems. With LUCAS kamikaze drones. The Starlink satellite communication platform can replace the GPS. The system requires a map. It can connect with Starlink’s location information. Starlink uses a similar technology. To GPS. For tracking the transmitting modems. This makes it possible to control drones and other systems. Like the smart bombs to target with the GPS. This kind of technology. Created originally for the Ukraine war makes the GPS unnecessary. These kinds of systems are maybe planned to be used by the Pentagon to protect the GPS system for the nuclear weapon’s core operations. 

When the GPS is used. With a large-scale conventional weapon guidance, it’s possible that the opponent gets its frequencies. And that can mean that in the case of nuclear war. The enemy might know. The frequencies of the GPS. And tries to jam them. When some systems are used all the time. There is a possibility. That the enemy knows its details. There is a possibility that the enemy even tries to spoof the location information. And even tries to aim weapons at the opponent’s own targets. This means that the submarine can fire on its own cities. And this is one of the reasons why nuclear weapon control must be separated from other weapons.

The new chip uses light instead of electricity to process information.

“An artist’s illustration of a photonic valleytronic chip for information processing. Credit: Dr. Chi Li”. (ScitechDaily, Scientists Create Tiny Chip That Uses Light Instead of Electricity To Process Information)

The new model. The photonic microchip is based on valleytronics. “The breakthrough centers on an emerging field known as 'valleytronics,' which aims to store and process information using quantum properties inside advanced materials. Scientists have long viewed the technology as a possible path toward faster computing, lower energy use, and more powerful communication systems. But one major challenge has held the field back: no one has successfully combined all the key functions into a single compact platform.” (ScitechDaily, Scientists Create Tiny Chip That Uses Light Instead of Electricity To Process Information)

Many models have been developed to replace electrons and electricity with light in computers. The photonic computers. Or, photonic microchips are tools that replace electricity. By using laser light.  In the binary versions. The computer uses a certain brightness to transmit. Ones. And zeros. Brighter light usually means one. And a dimmer light can mean one. But there is also a possibility. To exchange. Those values. like. That one is dimmer, and zero is brighter. This helps the computer. To see if the electricity is cut. In the photonic computer, the system is usually. 

Sends laser beams into the photovoltaic cell. This makes it possible to transform electric impulses into laser beams. And oppositely transform electric impulses into photonic information. The photonic system requires less electricity than electric systems. In primitive quantum systems. Light can travel through different routes. The UV. And IR wavelengths can mean. Zero and one. If the system uses UV light. Or visible light frequencies. That heat load is lower than the IR can give. 

But the new method. Called: valleytronics. It can be the game-changer. “Valleytronics (from valley and electronics) is an experimental area in semiconductors that exploits local extrema ("valleys") in the electronic band structure. Certain semiconductors have multiple "valleys" in the electronic band structure of the first Brillouin zone, and are known as multivalley semiconductors. Valleytronics is the technology of control over the valley degree of freedom, a local maximum/minimum on the valence/conduction band, of such multivalley semiconductors.” (Wikipedia, Valleytronics)

The valleytronics allows for trapping multiple qubits. That form in spintronics in those valleys. “The term was coined in analogy to spintronics. While. In spintronics, the internal degree of freedom of spin is harnessed to store and manipulate. And read out bits of information, the proposal for valleytronics is to perform similar tasks using the multiple extrema of the band structure, so that the information of 0s and 1s would be stored as different discrete values of the crystal momentum.” (Wikipedia, Valleytronics)

As we see in the image above. The valleytronic chip involves small valleys. That allows the system to control and manipulate light by turning those quantum cylinders. 

The new system connects ultra-thin materials with the light and its quantum properties. Those materials are only a couple of atoms thin. And they can control light in new ways. “Photonic devices use light to achieve massive bandwidths, ultra-fast data transmission speeds, and lower energy consumption, so what we have achieved has strong potential for applications in quantum computing, advanced imaging, and next-generation optical communication systems.” (ScitechDaily,Scientists Create Tiny Chip That Uses Light Instead of Electricity To Process Information)

The Russian new ocean floor nuclear missile project is not a new idea.

“Russian efforts to deploy nuclear-armed ballistic missiles in the ocean may have been underway for years and could involve previously unknown methods, according to Western intelligence assessments. This conclusion follows extensive surveillance of Russian operations in the White Sea, a bay of the Arctic. Ocean, reported by German outlet Tagesschau. (UAWire.com, Russia’s secret ocean-floor nuclear missile project raises alarm in the West)

The idea of military bases on the sea floor is not new. Even from WWII. Researchers made plans. And warnings about the military bases, built in the shipwrecks. In some visions, the underwater missile base can be simple. The submarine wreck. There is a submarine that hosts the crew. That operates its nuclear weapons. The submarine can play a wreck. But there are more complicated systems. 

In some bad visions, the 100-300 mt. Poseidon torpedo can wait on the seabed for an order to attack. In some other versions of that dark vision, there are nuclear mines on the seafloor waiting for detonation. The mine can wait just under the ocean seafloor slopes. And they can form a landslide. When the order comes. The mine will release its weight. Then it starts to rise to the optimal depth. The optimal depth means that the weapon can send. A devastating tsunami. To hit the coast.  

These kinds of weapons are planned to lie at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Or maybe near the coastline of the UK and the U.S.A. 

At the end of the Cold War era, there were rumors that the Soviet Union deployed nuclear missiles, or some kind of nuclear missile bases, in the lakes or on the floor of the Baltic Sea. Those nuclear bases could be nuclear missile submarines that are sunken on the ocean floor. The crew of those missile stations would be changed. By using some kind of rescue submarine as a support unit. The crew goes. Through the air lock. That kind of missile base could make. 

A surprise attack from the coastline of the USA. Another model is that even large-sized missile tubes can be positioned on the ocean floor. Or the missile silas can be drilled in the sediments. The system can basically host even the large-sized Sarmat missiles. In some models. The remote-controlled torpedo stations or the vehicles that can move on the ocean floor like cars can shoot torpedoes at the bottom of ships and other submarines. In some futuristic visions, the system that transports nuclear weapons can be an underwater hovercraft. That system can slide above the bottom without a trace. Those kinds of systems were predicted in some futuristic novels. And maybe the nuclear weapon silos at the bottom of the ocean already exist.

The new 3D printer increases productivity and accuracy 70%.

“Holographic projection of a human ear model on a sample vial. Credit: 2026 Adrien Buttier/EPFL CC BY SA” (ScitechDaily, New Holographic 3D Printing Method Is 70x More Efficient)

The 3D printer systems can also assist other production methods. The 3D printing system. It can be used. To create the models for casting molds. The regular system prints material layer by layer. In regular casting technology. The 3D printer makes the object. And then the ceramic mold will be made around that thing. 

The new hologram-based printing system can make 3D printing even more accurate and effective. The growth of efficiency. It is about 70%. The system turns the hologram straight into a physical object. ScitechDaily describes this system like this. 

“The technology, known as tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing (TVAM), works more like a CT scan in reverse than a traditional 3D printer. Instead of stacking material one layer at a time. The TVAM system projects patterns of light. Into a rotating vial filled with photosensitive resin. Wherever enough light energy accumulates, the liquid rapidly solidifies into a complete 3D structure”. (ScitechDaily, New Holographic 3D Printing Method Is 70x More Efficient)

"During testing, the team produced millimeter-scale objects in seconds and centimeter-scale objects within minutes. The phase-controlled system also supports self-healing beams, allowing the printer to create more accurate structures in materials that scatter light, including those containing living cells." (ScitechDaily, New Holographic 3D Printing Method Is 70x More Efficient)

But the ability to use so-called.  Cold photo-reacting resin allows the system to drive living cells into the form. That operators want. The resin can carry living cells into the form. That. The operators want. And that thing could make it possible to create the organs and even limbs. 

And maybe in the future, that kind of system. They can make it possible to clone entire humans. In some futuristic visions, this kind of system can make interstellar voyages possible. The interstellar spacecraft carries. The humans whose genetic code is stored in a digital form. When that craft is close enough. The destination. The printer system transforms those digital creatures into a physical form. It creates cells and DNA that can be used to turn the digital model into a physical human. 

The resin could act as a mold. Those things. Like tissue printing systems can use. These kinds of systems. They can also. Make it possible to create more accurate molds and models for the regular metal-based 3D printers. 

The photosensitive resin can be used to create a test piece. That is used. For fitting the real pieces into the entirety, like machines. The photosensitive resin can also act. As the mold for the casting mold. The ceramic mold will be cast around those pieces. And this brings new accuracy for those systems. Even if some systems are made for some particular functions. There is also a possibility. To use those systems also for other purposes.

The new space shuttle concept could increase European space independence.

The Vortex is a European response to U.S. superiority in space. This new concept is designed to fly to space and land like an airplane. The concept involves the ability for spaceborne refuelling. The shuttle can dock the rocket stage behind it. And when that rocket stage is empty. The system can remove it, and then dock another stage to that point. This kind of application can turn the Mars flight closer. The stage that the system docs can also involve a nuclear thermal rocket, NTR. Application. So the system can launch the manned module to the Moon orbiter. And there the system switches the nuclear rocket application to that module. 

This type of system is the tool to achieve domination in space. The space shuttle, or reusable space plane, is a tool that can serve both civil and military purposes. Space plays a greater role in modern warfare. Things like drone swarms use satellite communication. 

And satellite-based targeting and intelligence applications. Many military systems. Like GPS-guided bombs require satellites.  And also. Things like artillery and air support. Require the precise position of one's own and enemy troops. Without that information, the fire will fall into its own positions. Or, it's otherwise ineffective. 

By destroying satellites that transmit operational orders to drone swarms and location information, the system becomes useless. In the same way, if things like radar satellites are destroyed. That decreases. Those satellite-based systems' ability to get information. The system that destroys the radar satellite can be based on the same technology as the AGM-88 High-speed anti-radiation missile, HARM. The system would be the max-sized HARM missile that homes in on the radar satellite. By using its radio transmissions for targeting routines. 

The space shuttle can operate as a space fighter. Space junk is also a problematic thing. There is always a possibility that. If somebody collects the junk satellite back. To the ground. That actor can get things like. Satellite’s communication frequencies. Or,some other highly-classified information. That makes it possible to jam the communication signals. The space shuttle can return those satellites. From the orbital trajectory. 

Another thing. In space junk. It is more devastating. There is a possibility that the fractional orbital bombardment system, FOBS, satellites are lurking in the space junk. The FOBS satellite can play. Used rocket stages or malfunctioning satellites. The orbital bombardment platforms. They are one of the most terrifying weapons. That was ever created. The space shuttles can also host remote-controlled laboratories. Those laboratories can be used as space factories. The zero-gravity conditions allow. To grow perfect crystals and other things. 

The most interesting parts of those orbital space systems are that. The system can be a drone that operates as an atmospheric satellite. The orbital system can hold those drones in the capsule. That returns to the atmosphere after they get orders. Those drones can offer. The communication support for some areas. They can act in the same role as orbital satellites. And of course, those drones can also operate as strike systems. So they can act as kamikaze drones. Or shooting drones.

New robots called Cross-Link Collective didn’t use commands for self-organization.

 

“Robot swarm self-organizes into flowing chains without centralized control.” (ScitechDaily, ‘Like a flowing material’: Robot swarm uses physics, not commands, to self-organize)

There is a possibility. To use Velcro hooks to destroy the bacteria. The bacteria pull the particle. That. It thinks.  As food. Inside it. Then the chemical environment straightens the Velcro hook.  That damages the protein shell. Of the bacteria. The system uses a thing called mechanical memory. This means that the structure can repeat backwards. An every single turning. That the user makes for it. 

A robot swarm that used physics, not commands, for self-organization. That makes it possible to create structures that can act like an amoeba. The miniature robots can make things like liquid robots. That can change their form like T-1000. In the Terminator movies, reality. Those small robots can carry microchips. Inside them. 

“Researchers say the robots rely on 'mechanical intelligence' instead of advanced computation or communication systems. Their physical interactions allow coordinated movement to emerge naturally as the modules continuously connect and disconnect while moving.” (ScitechDaily, ‘Like a flowing material’: Robot swarm uses physics, not commands, to self-organize)

Those robots don’t need centralized commands. But they can carry microchips to targeted points. 

“The system, called the Cross-Link Collective, is made up of dozens of narrow robotic modules that can latch onto one another using weak Velcro connections. Individually, the robots move slowly and struggle in difficult terrain. But when linked together, they begin acting as a coordinated collective capable of navigating obstacles and inclines.” ScitechDaily, ‘Like a flowing material’: Robot swarm uses physics, not commands, to self-organize)

Those robots were made by researchers at Cornell University. Their size is quite big. But their nano- or minisize colleagues. Can raise medical treatments to a new level. 

The self-organizing robots can make many things. They can clean surfaces. They can remove dangerous organisms. And those systems can replace chemical weapons. 

There are plans to use. The DNA-controlled nanomachines for making structures through self-organization. The microchip-controlled system can select the DNA sequence that the nanomachine reads. And then those systems can get any form. Those cyborg amoebas can make impressive things. They can slip into the houses. And those systems can read information that travels in cables. 

Nanorobots can block leaks in fuel lines. They can also assist surgeons. And they can block blood vessels that transport nutrients into the cancer. This means that nanorobots can block blood vessels. Or they can simply fill the targeted cells using nanomachines. 

The mechanical intelligence causes that. When the nanomachine slips into another chemical environment. That thing makes the robot change its form. 

“Each robot measures roughly 200 millimeters long and 20 millimeters wide. A small internal motor drives the module to repeatedly switch between an “I” shape and a “U” shape, creating forces that push it forward across surfaces. Weak Velcro patches at both ends allow nearby modules to temporarily attach and detach as they move.”  (ScitechDaily, ‘Like a flowing material’: Robot swarm uses physics, not commands, to self-organize)

Their size. It is so big that they can make many other things. Than just. Blood vessels. They can operate on a larger scale in structures. Like fuel tanks. 

But it’s possible that those robots can make many other things. They can block blood vessels. And they can close the blood leak. And the same ability that makes those systems excellent medical components makes them the worst weapon that we can imagine. The same system. That can block the blood vessel. This transports blood into damaged tissue. It can also block blood vessels from enemy operators or a person. 

Targeted for assassination. Unlike the poisons. Nanomachines are chemically neutral tools. They can hide in margarine. Or some oil. Their effect is purely mechanical. So, that thing means. Those sensors and dogs don’t see those tools. The nanomachine can slip the oil droplet into the bacteria. They can destroy bacteria by covering their mitochondria. Using oil droplets. Those things deny the mitochondria's operations.
