DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES WITH APPLICATIONS IN AIRLINE & MARINE AND DEFENSE INDUSTRIES
Ill paste snippets to get ur attention LOL
This work examines inter alia technical, legal, and ethical dimensions of behavior regarding Biological defenses, Biological Threat Agents, information warfare, electronic warfare, cybersecurity, directed energy weapons, acoustical countermeasures, UUVs, Maritime Cybersecurity, UAS and Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS), emerging and disturbing technologies. It is not intended to turn intelligence analysts, counter terrorism, information technology, engineers, forensics investigators, drone operator / pilots..
. While this book is primarily intended to be a textbook, it should be of interest to anyone who needs to understand the changes that are being unleashed by the revolutions in size, capability, and diversity of autonomous vehicles. The authors come from an extremely diverse background, ranging from law to science,
There is a
difference between emerging technology trends and disruptive ones.
Emerging technologies are technologies whose development, practical applications, or both are still largely unrealized, such that they are figuratively emerging into prominence from a background of nonexistence or obscurity. (Wiki, 2021)
Some sources say that emerging technologies are taking over the world by a storm and if misused, it could turn out to be our worst enemy. (Rose, 2019) Toward Data Science magazine lists Drone Swarms as number one in their list. The topic covered in detail in (Nichols R. , et al., 2020).
Smart home devices that spy, ex. IoT or AI / IoT is number two, followed by facial recognition,
spy dust and autonomous robots. (Rose, 2019)
Disruptive technology is one that displaces an established 14 | Preface technology and shakes up the industry or a ground-breaking product that creates a completely new industry. (Rouse, 2021) That is what our book is about. We think we have found technology trends that will replace the status quo or disrupt the conventional technology paradigms.
Professor Nichols has challenged the status quo and debunked the climate change fraud with verifiable facts. In his third chapter, he
explodes our minds with nightmare technologies that if they come to fruition may do more harm than good. Some of them might reach Black Swan event status. [
Reference
A Black Swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences. Black swan events are characterized by their extreme rarity, severe impact, and the widespread insistence they were obvious in hindsight
The Biology Dictionary lists the definition of
symbiosis as “an evolved interaction or close living relationship between organisms from different species, usually with benefits to one or both of the individuals involved
For this discussion, the
humans are creating the autonomous systems (robots) for the benefit of the human race, which is deemed as an obligation in symbiosis in “which case the relationship between the two species is so interdependent, that each of the organisms is unable to survive without the other” (Symbiosis Definition, 2020). The case for an obligated symbiotic relationship can be made here as a ‘facultative’ relationship is based in the ability of the connection to be created by choice, because one entity can live without the other
A look at how the human race is becoming more of a cyborg or a cyber organism is discussed from the lens of this being an
endosymbiosis relationship “occurring when one of the symbiotic partners lives within the body of the other
This is in stark contrast to the very recent evolution of artificial intelligence and artificial life. In order to achieve full symbiosis between humans and machines “may require that truly human-like characteristics be developed in intelligent machines.
Such machines not only should be capable of human-like thinking, reasoning, and problem solving, but also should be capable of displaying human-like motivation, emotion, and personality, among other things. Little is known about how a system will evolve over time and how this evolution will act and react in human settings such as the workplace and our overall society”
The fifth industrial revolution is poised to push the fourth revolution into the history books and take over sooner than one might think. Our preferred mode of communications moves from cell phones to brain waves, our data collection from the internet of things to 3-D sensor collection, allowing artificial intelligence freedom to roam far past our understanding.
The speed of this revolution is unprecedented, and the impact is Automation & Human-Machine Symbiosis [Mumm] | 145 relevant to more and more people in increasingly diverse ways…
The first of the revolutions lasted about 200 years.
The second lasted 100,
While the third about 50.
It is easy to see the pattern here…during the fourth (revolution) we are hyperconnected through our smart devices to most of the planet.
The fifth revolution will make that connection closer and seamless and will feel unmediated. The smart device on which we tap and into which we speak will disappear. Brain-computer interfaces will replace them..
NSWC PCD The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) is one of many naval installations conducting S&T research around the world.
NSWC PCD is a particularly fascinating one and has a huge mission.
NSWC PCD Our mission is to conduct research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) and in-service support of the following core mission areas: Mine Warfare Systems, Naval Special Warfare Systems, Diving and Life Support Systems, Amphibious/Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare Systems and other missions that occur in the littoral, or coastal, regions. NSWC PCD’s Technical Capabilities include: Air Cushion Vehicle Systems; Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare Systems Engineering and Integration; Special Warfare Maritime Mobility Mission Systems and Mission Support equipment; Mine Countermeasure Detect and Engage Systems; Modular Mission Packaging; Platform Integration and Handling; Littoral Mission Systems integration and Modular Mission Packages Certification; Unmanned Systems Engineering and Integration; Autonomous Diving and Diving Support Systems; and Surface Life Support Systems for Extreme Environments. Their major facilities include: Diving and Life Support Complex; Mine Warfare Complex; Special Warfare Research and Engineering Complex; Expeditionary Warfare Complex; Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) Facility; LCAC Software Integration Laboratory; Human Systems Integration Usability Lab; USMC Amphibious Raids and Reconnaissance; Integration Facility; Coastal Test Range; Prototype Fabrication Facility; Additive Manufacturing or 3D printing for rapid prototyping; and 3D Expeditionary Laser Scanning. This is the purview of just one of the ten plus NSCW UUVs, Advanced Sensors, Munitions Detection & USVs [Nichols] | 195 warfare centers. These are all part of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NSSC), “The force behind the fleet.” (NSWC, 2020)
Anyway read it if you like
