#BAE Systems'Battleview 360 is made to raise situational awareness in tank crews BAE Systems is looking to solve one of the most restrictive elements with tank warfare through its Battleview 360 digital mapping system.
The versatile technology will allow the crew of an armored vehicle to see through the metal confines of their war machine,
allowing for unprecedented levels of combat awareness for the crews of combat vehicles. Maintaining a high level of situational awareness from the confines of a tank can't be an easy task.
Operators have to contend with excessive noise, and the limited visibility that comes with being wrapped in a mobile fortress of ceramic and steel.
Simply overcoming one of these impediments could give a force a significant advantage on the battlefield."

#Lily drone: flying selfie camera follows you around as you ski or run A new drone camera has been released that allows users to simply throw it in the air
and have it follow them around. The drone is designed to allow people to be filmed without having someone do it for them.
It looks to be positioned towards the same people who use Go Pros, mounting them to their head to film snowboarding and other extreme sports,
To use the drone, users simply turn it on and throw it up into the air.
The drone is waterproof and small, only weighing 2. 8 lbs. While it flying, users can choose where to send the drone either following or leading ahead of people,
or circling around them. Then those photos and videos can be exported and viewed after the fact.
The drone has a camera that can take 1080p video, or 120 frames per second slomo films at 820p.
The drone can be ordered pre now for $599, plus $20 shipping. But they won be delivered until February 2016

#Laser weapon Melts Test Drone in Midair A new laser weapon that can burn up targets in just a few seconds recently melted
and destroyed a test drone flying over California. Known as the Compact Laser weapons System, the futuristic, drone-shooting weapon is a smaller, more versatile version of the High energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator (HEL MD),
a system developed by Boeing to be mounted on top of U s army vehicles. Both weapons forgo conventional bullets for"directed energy"a focused beam of energy that heats up
and damages a target. 7 Technologies That Transformed Warfare"Think of it like a welding torch being put on a target,
but from many hundreds of meters away,"Isaac Neal, a Boeing engineer, said in a video about the new weapons system that was posted on the defense contractor's website.
aim and fire at a small drone flying above a testing facility in Point Mugu, California.
The laser gun acts quickly (it took just 15 seconds for it to shoot the test drone out of the sky) and discreetly, according to Neal.
Speedy reaction times can be important in battles when every second counts.""If you were on the receiving end of laser energy,
who noted that this lower weight makes the portable laser gun easier to move around than the HEL MD
In the recent test in California, the smaller laser shot down a drone, but Boeing's goal is to develop a compact laser that can also shoot down incoming explosives, such as mortars,
missiles and smaller artillery something the HEL MD has already proved it can do in tests.
The big draw for both laser systems is that they're cost-effective weapons. The only cost associated with operating them is the cost of electricity to power the lasers, according to Boeing,
which did not state exactly how much the U s. military would save by switching to laser guns.
so I think this hydrated signature of the salts is definitely a'smoking gun, '"he said.
#Signal-Scrambling Tech'Freezes'Drones in Midair A new device that can detect, target and deter commercial drones could be used to keep the flying robots away from areas where they're not wanted, like government properties, airports or your own backyard.
The new Anti-UAV Defense system (AUDS) was developed by three tech companies in the United kingdom. It has a radar detection component,
advanced tracking capabilities and a sneaky little onboard device that keeps drones at bay. Rather than melting drones in midair like Boeing's new Compact Laser weapons System, AUDS shoots the flying vehicles with something that doesn't destroy them radio waves.
Drone operators typically communicate with and direct, the aerial bots using radio signals. Enter AUDS, which uses a drone's communication system against it.
Using directional antennas pointed at the drone, AUDS sends the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) radio signals that interfere with the radio signals coming from the remote operator.
When the drone picks up AUDS'signals, it"freezes, "unsure of where to fly. Whoever is controlling the anti-drone system can keep the UAV hovering at a distance until the machine runs out of battery life and crashes to the ground, according to a report by the BBC.
AUDS can spot a drone from about 5 miles (8 kilometers) away. After zeroing in on its target
it uses video and thermal imaging software to keep the flying vehicle in its sight. Once the drone gets close enough to the anti-drone system,
it's"game over"for the drone. Drone disturbance Even though drones can be incredibly usefulthey can help conservationists keep tabs on protected areas
and help farmers survey their crops more quickly these flying robots have stirred up quite a few problems in recent months.
Just today (Oct 9), two people operating a small drone near the Washington monument in Washington, D c,
. accidentally crashed their UAV on the back lawn of the White house. A similar incident occurred at the presidential residence in January.
Drones are prohibited from flying in the U s. capital but laws and heavy fines don't seem to keep all drones out.
Commercial drones have also been used in attempts to smuggle contraband goods, like cellphones and weapons, into prisons.
And camera-toting drones hovering over private homes have been derided as both a security and privacy concern for residents.
The U s. Federal aviation administration (FAA), which sets guidelines for how and where commercial drones can be flown,
has ruled that small UAVS cannot be flown within 5 miles of airports and that they must remain below 400 feet (122 meters),
where they are unlikely to interfere with piloted aircraft. But a recent deluge of complaints from pilots
has led the FAA to take further action against rule-breaking drone operators. The FAA signed an agreement this week that will allow it to test technologies that can detect the position of operators who are flying their drones in restricted areas,
such as near airports, according to a report by Phys. org. Though the AUDS system doesn't promise to help locate errant drone operators,
it could be used to keep drones away from restricted areas altogether. The radio-jamming technology aboard AUDS doesn't scramble signals from commercial or military aircraft
which use encrypted signals, so it might be safe to use near airports. The new anti-drone system has been tested in the United kingdom, the United states and France, according to the BBC.
But there's no word yet on when or where this drone-freezing technology could be used in these countries u
