  • You have to teach them as a kitten that hands on the stomach means play time, not biting time. If you give them a pinch a few times when they bite you as a kitten they’ll learn to play gently and if you rub their bellies as a kitten they won’t freak out when you touch their bellies as an adult.

  • 21st century period dramas covering the life of the billionaires and their servants in the same vein as Upstairs, Downstairs or Downton Abbey.

    They'll be amazed at the caste system and the uses of money while having anachronistic things like universal healthcare for the maid who is dying of lung cancer.

  • Neat but 3 hours of loitering is nothing for a fixed wing drone. We have drones that stay in flight for a month or more.

  • Radars are already deployed like that. Most radars sit many kilometers from each other because of interference and not needing the extra coverage. Radar coverage is absolutely enormous for modern systems.

  • Many counter fire radars have tracked their own incoming death. You have a good minute or so from first track until the round impacts. That’s enough time to track the round and send out a counterbattery mission destroying the fucks that killed you buy you’re still dead unless the round happens to be a dud.

  • You'd end up jamming yourself. You can't really have radars or other strong electromagnetic warfare devices near each other operating on the same frequency since they tend to interfere and wash out each other's signals.

    As a decoy makes sense though since you can send them far away on a drone or something.

  • Most of the world has spectrum regulators for that sort of thing, it isn't only a US thing. MPs aren't really the people who would be investigating unless you live in some authoritarian regime where the police and federal regulatory bodies are commingled.

    I could be wrong but I can't think of an example where a military regulates spectrum in any meaningful way and a quick web search turns up nothing.

  • Let you switch lanes?

    As they say in Rome, carpe viam. Don't ask for permission, just start moving your car towards the other fuckers. They'll move if they prefer not to have scratches on their car.

    Oh also you're gonna wanna drive a shitbox in case they decide to tank those scratches.

  • Who says we aren’t? Electronic counter measures and electronic counter counter measures are a large part of modern warfare.

    It’s a cat and mouse game.

  • Probably one of the spectrum regulators will show up (the FCC in the US) not MPs.

  • Possibly but you could just put any radio signal up for a decoy, you don’t need something this fancy. Radar is just radio waves. The fancy part is collimation of the beam and sensing of the return beam. That’s what costs money.

  • Interestingly enough, this project was originally licensed under the MIT license, but Motti was advised that said license does not protect physical hardware, so it changed to the CERN-OHL-PT license. Should you elect to build your own unit, be aware that the frequencies it operates in are almost assuredly highly regulated in your legal jurisdiction.

    Also be aware of anti radiation munitions if you decide to operate one of these in a warzone. Radarmen have very short battlefield lifetimes because turning on a radar without lots of electronic countermeasures (hell even with countermeasures) is basically like turning on a spotlight that says “blow me up”.
