    Type 055 destroyer  launches yesterday in the JNCX shipyard<br />
<br />
Report have 113MW total power, is pretty insane (if accurate, a bit unbelievable),<br />
If true this pretty much confirms
 that the 055 is using integrated electric propulsion. The ship doesn't 
require that much power for propulsion and conventional systems 
considering the heavier (15,000t) Zumwalt produces 78MW and has a 
similar top speed (33.5 knots).<br />
The Zumwalt also produces 58 MW of 
reserve power while moving at 20 knots, meaning the ship requires 20 MW 
to move at 20 knots. The BAE 32 MJ rail gun requires 25 MW of power to 
sustain fire at 10 rounds per minute thus giving DDG 1000 the ability to
 accommodate 2 rail guns but  the Zumwalt cannot sustain fire of even 
one rail gun @10 rounds/min or other energy weapons when travelling at 
full speed, there isn't enough power to be distributed.<br />

<br />
If we assume 055 requires similar power as Zumwalt to cruise at 20 knots
 (20MW) then it will have >90MW in reserve power @20 knots. Where is 
all that energy going to? If the power figure for 055 is accurate then 
it is most definitely designed to field rail guns and direct energy 
weapons and other energy thirsty platforms. If not 055 then its 
successor variants will.<br />

Flying car? MIT’s new drone can fly, drive & communicate with other drones

A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology (MIT) has developed a drone prototype that can autonomously 
shift from flying to driving. The innovation comes with high hopes for 
the long-awaited flying cars of the future. </div>
<div class="article__summary summary ">
 </div>
By 
adding a driving platform to the bottom of a quadcopter drone, 
researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence 
Laboratory (CSAIL) <a href="http://news.mit.edu/2017/drones-drive-flying-cars-0626" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">announced</a>
 on Monday they have developed a prototype that can autonomously switch 
between flying over obstacles to driving through tight spaces that 
normal drones could not get through.<br />
<br />
<em>“The ability to both fly
 and drive is useful in environments with a lot of barriers, since you 
can fly over ground obstacles and drive under overhead obstacles,”</em> said Brandon Araki, lead author on the paper, according to the press release from MIT. <em>“Normal
 drones can't maneuver on the ground at all. A drone with wheels is much
 more mobile while having only a slight reduction in flying time.”</em><br />
<br />
While flying limits a drone’s battery life, driving is much more 
energy efficient. In their simulations, CSAIL was able to fly their 
drones for nearly 300 feet or drive them on a flat surface for 826 feet 
before the batteries ran out.<br />
After attaching the two small motors
 with wheels to the bottom of drones, the team reduced the drone’s 
maximum flying distance by 14 percent. However, since driving takes less
 battery life, the drones ended up being even more efficient.<br />
<br />
The new drones were based on Araki’s previous work developing the<em> “<a href="http://www.csail.mit.edu/node/2747" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">flying monkey</a>”</em> robot, which was able to fly, crawl and grasp objects. However, there was no way to make the drone travel autonomously.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
In a new <a href="http://groups.csail.mit.edu/drl/wiki/images/b/bc/Flyingdrones.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">paper</a>, Araki and a team of researchers at CSAIL developed <em>"path-planning"</em>
 algorithms to ensure that the drones avoid colliding into each other or
 any other obstacles. The drones were tested in a system that controlled
 the motions of eight drones flying and driving through a miniature 
town.<br />
In their tests, researchers gave each of the drones a 
starting position and a goal position. Their scaled version of a town 
was complete with roads, buildings, no-fly zones and other obstacles.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Flying car? MIT’s new drone can fly, drive & communicate with other drones on its own" class="media__item " src="https://cdn.rt.com/files/2017.06/original/59518eb2c461880b7b8b4591.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The multi-robot path planning system allowed the drones to communicate 
with each other and chose when to switch between flying and driving in 
order to optimize battery life, speed and efficiency.<br />
The 
researchers were also able to restrict the drones from flying over 
certain areas, creating flight corridors that could become highways in 
the sky in the future. In the paper, the researchers said they envision a
 time when<em> “flying taxis”</em> could choose when to fly or drive based on how much a customer is willing to pay.<br />

CSAIL Director Daniela Rus said that creating flying cars did not involve simply <em>“[putting] wings on cars,”</em> rather it took years of research in giving flying drones the ability to drive.<br />
<em>“As
 we begin to develop planning and control algorithms for flying cars, we
 are encouraged by the possibility of creating robots with these 
capabilities at small scale,”</em> Rus said, according to the press release from MIT. <em>“While
 there are obviously still big challenges to scaling up to vehicles that
 could actually transport humans, we are inspired by the potential of a 
future in which flying cars could offer us fast, traffic-free 
transportation.”</em><br />

Touted as the solution to Britain’s fading global power, the £3 
billion HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier is set to leave port for 
the first time to undertake sea trials.

</div>
The 
65,000 ton vessel, which will be the UK’s first aircraft carrier since 
the HMS Ark Royal was scrapped in 2010, is due to leave the shipyard at 
Rosyth, Scotland, on Monday.<br />
<br />

Merlin Mk2 helicopters had a look at HMS Queen Elizabeth<br />
<br />
Eleven tugs will be needed to maneuver the vessel, which is as long as three football fields.<br />
She will have to squeeze into the estuary through the narrow exit from her dock.<br />
Once
 free, she will wait for low tide and have her tallest masts and 
antennae stripped down to pass under the Forth bridges, before making 
her way to the open sea under her own power.<br />
Despite the upcoming trials, the carrier is not expected to be ready for action for several years.<br />
A sister carrier, the HMS Prince Of Wales, is also under construction.<br />

“<i>I think there are very few capabilities, by any country, that are as symbolic as a carrier strike capability,</i>” the Queen Elizabeth’s commander, Captain Jerry Kydd, told the BBC.<br />
“<i>Submarines you can’t see, but these are very visible symbols of power and power projection,</i>” he said.<br />
Despite
 such high praise, the carrier project has been battered by waves of 
criticism, with one senior military figure anonymously telling the 
Guardian in 2015 that the program was a toxic “<i>combination of naval vanity and pork-barrel politics.</i>”<br />

The source said that by developing carriers the UK was “<i>moving in the direction absolutely contrary to strategic developments of our time,</i>” seeing how current wars are fought with drones and special forces.<br />
There
 are also concerns over whether there will be enough American-made F-35 
fighters to equip both ships, as a parallel project to purchase the US 
jets has seen years of delays.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.metdaan.com/abandoned-city-pure-mystery/" target="_blank">Ghost cities are not only seen in apocalypse movies</a>.<br />
They do exist 
and we can rarely get a glimpse of the ultimate silence in these places.
 Naypyidaw is one of them. Strangely, this ghost city became Burma’s 
capital a decade ago when the government announced it’s moving the 
capital from Rongoon for no obvious reason. Six times larger than the 
size of NYC,  it barely has any population.<br />
<br />
<img alt="01" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98675" height="453" src="http://www.metdaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/01-140.jpg" width="805" /><br />
<br />
Burma
 is a country in Southeast Asia and has one of the strictest military 
regimes on the planet. It is therefore often compared to North Korea for
 its dictatorship. Naypyidaw, as its capital is housing one of the 
strictest military regimes in existence. Tourists are not allowed to 
enter the country.<br />
You are not the only one who does not know 
about it. Even people in Burma have no idea about its existence, 
although it cost billions to build.<br />
<br />
<img alt="1" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98676" height="453" src="http://www.metdaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1-237.jpg" width="805" /><br />
<br />
It
 was supposed to house millions of people, but now the metropolis is 
basically vacant. The only population in the city are the 
government workers you can see on the streets.<br />
<br />
<img alt="2" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98677" height="449" src="http://www.metdaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/2-234.jpg" width="713" /><br />
<br />
The
 Guardian visited this ghost town in the beginning of 2017 it earlier 
this year. This is how they described it: “an eerie picture of 
post-apocalypse suburban America; like a David Lynch film on location in
 North Korea.”<br />
<br />
<img alt="3" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98678" height="453" src="http://www.metdaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/3-218.jpg" width="805" /><br />
<br />
Can
 you believe the whole city has wifi? It is built in the middle of a 
jungle, and there are only a few people there, and no restaurant or 
hotels function. Well, at least someone is using the wifi.<br />
<br />
<img alt="4" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98679" height="546" src="http://www.metdaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/4-198.jpg" width="855" /><br />
<br />
The
 streets are huge, build to meet the every-day traffic jam. However, 
they are completely abandoned, as there are barely any vehicles.<br />
<br />
<img alt="5" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98680" height="453" src="http://www.metdaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/5-186.jpg" width="805" /><br />
<br />
There
 are rumors that Burma actually contacted technicians from North Korea 
to build underground tunnels underneath the deserted city. 
Surprisingly, Naypyidaw’s history is basically a mystery. No one knows 
when construction began, or exactly who built it. Doesn’t it make a good
 script for a movie?<br />
<br />
<img alt="6" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-98681" height="455" src="http://www.metdaan.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/6-166.jpg" width="713" /><br />

Russia Armata tank will outmatch the Abrams in active armor and triple range missiles

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://defence-blog.com/army/russia-tests-t-14-armata-battle-tanks-strike-capabilities.html" target="blank">Russian
 will start operational evaluation of the most advanced Armata tank 
starting in 2019 and they will have laser guided missiles with 3 times 
the range of the newest American tank.</a><br />

The T-14 Armata is equipped with an unmanned turret and all the crew 
is located at the front of the hull. The new unmanned remote turret of 
Armata T-14 would be equipped with a new generation of 125mm 2A82-1M 
smoothbore gun with an automatic loader and 32 rounds ready to use.<br />
<br />

The main gun can fire also new laser-guided missile with a range from
 7 to 12 km. The T-14 Armata carries a total of 45 rounds. According to 
some Russian sources, the T-14 Armata could be armed in the future with a
 new 152mm cannon.<br />

Russia’s Armata tank will outmatch the Abrams and all current western
 tanks with better active armor and triple range anti-tank missiles.<br />
<br />

Some western analysts take comfort in the fact that Russia’s economy 
is terrible and they are currently only making about 120 Armata tanks 
per year. However, if Russia could dedicate about $12 billion, they 
probably could afford 2200 Armata tanks. Russia could probably upgrade 
its thousands of older T-90 tanks with new laser guided missile and the 
active armor systems for about $1.5 to 3 billion.<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-29/india-said-to-negotiate-multi-million-dollar-russia-tank-upgrade" target="blank">Russia is in talks with India to upgrade nearly 1000 T-90 tanks.</a><br />
Russia could develop more extensive upgrades for their own older tanks.<br />

The Armata tank is equipped with the Afganit active protection 
system, which uses a combination of sensors and kinetic energy 
projectiles to knock down incoming rocket propelled grenades, antitank 
missiles, and subcaliber projectiles. The tank also features an 
anti-detection aerosol disperser, a new explosive reactive armor 
nicknamed “Malachite,” slat armor covering the engine spaces and even an
 electronic countermine system to prevent antitank mines from 
detonating.<br />
<br />

Those sensors and weapons systems and the laser guided missiles could be placed onto older tanks.<br />

Some Armata innovations would not be transferrable to older tanks. 
Armata armor is a composite incorporating a new steel alloy known as 
44C-SV-W, developed by the JSC Institute of Steel—also known as the NII 
Stali Institute for Protection—in Moscow. The new steel, made via 
electroslag melting, is apparently lighter than traditional steel, 
shaving “hundreds of kilograms” off the vehicle weight.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/news/a27023/russias-new-tank-will-out-stick-americas-abrams/" target="blank">The
 USA M1 Abrams’ M256 120-millimeter smoothbore gun has a maximum 
effective range between 3 km (1.86 miles) and 4 km (2.48 miles).</a><br />
In 
military parlance, the Armata could very well “out-stick” the M1 by a 
factor of three, comfortably destroying American tanks before the latter
 can get within engagement range.<br />

In real-world war situations, though, there are rarely situations 
where two objects at ground level are visible to one another at seven 
and a half miles. Hedges, trees, buildings, elevation changes, and other
 terrain features all conspire to block visibility at ground level. 
Outside of the plains of Kansas, the Russian steppes, and the Sinai 
desert, there are seldom places where two objects are visible at even 
three or four miles.<br />
<br />

Even if an Armata does manage to lock onto an Abrams at extreme 
ranges, the American tank isn’t helpless. The Abrams’ armor, reinforced 
with a layer of depleted uranium and now reactive armor, is widely 
considered the best in the world. Reactive armor is particularly useful 
against the shaped charge warhead on the Sprinter. Also, the Army is 
planning to install active protection systems (APS) on the Abrams. An 
APS upgrade would consist of outward-facing radar antennas scanning for 
incoming threats in all directions. One detected, APS launches 
interceptors to and detect and kill incoming rockets and missiles.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/why-russias-armata-tank-may-never-be-threat-nato-21269" target="blank">The
 Armata is a new and innovative tank. USA analysts note that many of the
 Armata’s advanced survivability features are drawn from the Israeli 
Merkava series.</a><br />
The Russian seem to have advanced the 
state-of-the-art in terms of reactive armor and active protection. If 
the Russian Afghanit active protection system works as advertised, the 
Armata could prove to be a serious problem for the West if it were ever 
produced in numbers. However, most Western analysts—government and 
private sector—are dubious about Russian claims that their APS can 
defeat kinetic energy rounds.<br />
<br />

However, even if the Armata was as dangerous as the British report 
claims, Russia is not likely to be able to afford the expensive new 
machine in the huge quantities. Using the British reports own 
numbers—120 Armata tanks produced per year. <i>nextbigfuture</i><br />

Anonymous: NASA Is About to Announce the Discovery of Intelligent Alien Life

Hacking collective Anonymous claims US space agency NASA is about to announce the discovery of intelligent alien life.

</div>
“<em>NASA says aliens are coming!</em>” the group <a href="http://www.anonews.co/anonymous-nasa-alien/">wrote</a> on their website.<br />
Anonymous’
 claim is based on a number of recent NASA discoveries coupled with 
comments made by one of the agency’s spokesmen during a congressional 
hearing titled ‘Advances in the Search for Life,’ in <a href="https://science.house.gov/legislation/hearings/full-committee-hearing-advances-search-life">April</a>.<br />
<br />
Professor Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science 
Mission Directorate, told the hearing that NASA’s recent advances, such 
as the discovery of hydrogen in Saturn’s moon Enceladus and the Hubble 
team’s promising results from the oceans of Jupiter’s moon, Europa, are 
promising signs that we’re closer than ever to discovering evidence of 
alien life.<br />

The world's first rope-free elevator

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<img alt="" class="attachment-featuredfull size-featuredfull wp-post-image" height="430" src="https://www.nextbigfuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/f4f20408e8a9f24d73a0e04c7d19b74c-730x430.jpg?x71037" title="" width="730" />

Cable free elevator has been built and it will boost
capacity and cut wait times in half.</div>
<i>nextbigfuture</i><br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://multi.thyssenkrupp-elevator.com/en/" target="blank">Thyssenkrupp
 has built the first rope (cable) free elevator. This will enable system
 like the Star Trek Turbolift which can move up down and side to side.</a></b><br />
<br />
This is elevator industry’s holy grail. It ends the 160-year reign of the rope-dependent elevator.<br />
MULTI harnesses the power of linear motor technology to move multiple cars in a single shaft both vertically and horizontally!<br />
<br />
* magnetic system enables faster elevators to be built<br />
* horizontal movement allows more than one cabin per shaft<br />
* horizontal movement allows more efficient routing where there was no routing flexibility before<br />
* magnetic and ropeless system removes 500 meter height limit for one elevator shaft<br />
* 50% more capacity and half the wait times<br />
* economic benefits to skyscraper owners with less wasted space<br />
“Eventually it could solve the last mile,” Schierenbeck said. “With 
the horizontal movement of the Multi you can connect buildings, you can 
connect trains stations with your buildings, you could even have your 
own cabin waiting for you at your hotel room – all these things which 
have been a little bit science fiction maybe three, four, five years ago
 are now possible.”<br />
* Cities could be massively more efficient for movement within multiple buildings.<br />
* Skyscrapers could be taller.<br />
* One up down and side to side network of elevators could for example connect all the casinos on the Vegas strip.<br />
Instead of one elevator cabin per shaft moving up and down, the MULTI 
offers multiple cabins operating in loop, like a metro system inside a 
building.<br />
<br />
By removing ropes and equipping with linear motors, elevators will be
 transformed completely – increasing capacity by 50 %  and reducing the 
elevator footprint within a building by half.<br />
In the same way the train slides along a track horizontally, the lift
 travels both vertically, horizontally and diagonally around a building 
riding an electromagnetic field, a system known as a linear drive.<br />
<br />
“If 
you can run a 500-tonne train on magnets at 500km/h you should be able 
to elevate a cabin of 500 kilograms or 1,000 kilograms at a speed of 
five metres per second,” Schierenbeck said.<br />
The number of buildings over 200 meters has tripled since 2000. More 
than 180 buildings over 250 meters are currently under construction.<br />
<br />
<img src="https://multi.thyssenkrupp-elevator.com/assets/images/layout/first_customer.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /> <br />
<br />
The only visible difference to passengers – and it’s a welcome one – 
is that the doors open every 15 to 30 seconds, despite having fewer 
shafts compared to standard elevator systems. <br />
Standard rope and pulley lifts today can only rise to a maximum of 
around 500 metres. But, skyscrapers are much taller and they are only 
getting higher. So far, the solution to this has been to build multiple 
elevators and therefore more shafts but the space required can cost a 
building up to 40 per cent of highly valuable floor space. “This cannot 
go on forever,” Schierenbeck said. While the Multi can cost three to 
five times more than a standard lift system, <a href="https://multi.thyssenkrupp-elevator.com/assets/pdf/multi_brochure.pdf" target="_blank">Schierenbeck</a> claims saving 
that much space in a central downtown building, for example, is 
“definitely overcompensating the price of the product.”<br />

<br />
China has been marketing a number of advanced air defense radars capable
 of detecting stealth combat aircraft, such as the United States' F-22 
and F-35, at the ongoing 52nd International Paris Air Show.<br />
<br />
China Electronics Technology Group Corp, one of the major defense 
contractors of the Chinese military, has models of three large 
anti-stealth aircraft radars on display at the show, which will run 
until Sunday at Paris-Le Bourget Airport. It was the first time the 
State-owned defense giant took part in the show, which is said to be the
 largest and most influential of its kind in the world.<br />
<br />
The three radar types - <a href="http://www.ecns.cn/2017/06-22/262499.shtml" target="_blank">YLC-8B, SLC-7 and SLC-12 </a>- all developed by the 
company's Nanjing Research Institute of Electronic Technology in Jiangsu
 province, integrate the traditional detection method of mechanical 
scanning with two-dimensional active phased-array technology, making 
them capable of detecting virtually any aerial target including stealth 
fighters, unmanned aircraft, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and 
rockets, according to CETC. The company said the radars can also guide 
air defense missiles to their targets.<br />

The research institute is the country's largest developer of military 
surveillance radars. Its products have been sold to more than 20 nations
 in North Africa, Southeast Asia and western Asia, said Ni Guoxin, 
deputy director of the institute.<br />
<br />
"Exhibits from my institute have the cutting-edge technologies in this 
field and represent China's overall capability in electronics," he said.
 "Only a handful of nations, such as the United States, France and 
Israel, are able to develop such technologies and make advanced radars. 
It's fair to say we are a leader in this field."<br />
<br />
Wang Hongzhe, a senior designer at the institute, said the three radars 
work on different microwave bands, so if they were all deployed together
 they would form a massive surveillance network that no stealth aircraft
 would be able to sneak through.<br />
<br />
"They are fourth-generation air surveillance radars - the latest and 
most advanced of their kind. Compared with the third-generation models, 
they have stronger capabilities and larger fields of detection and can 
detect more types of targets, even some low-orbiting satellites," he 
said.<br />
<br />
Moreover, all of these radars are mounted on ground vehicles, which 
enables them to be deployed in a rapid, flexible manner, Wang said.<br />

The United States was naive to believe that the emergence of joint 
attack fighter planes would reduce opportunities for other fighters, but
 the fact is that more and more competitors, <br />
F-35 become dominant global
 demand for military aircraft farther and farther.<br />
<br />
But in recent 
years, countries around the world have renewed interest in fighter 
aircraft substitutes, many of which may not be able to invest in the 
five generation of American warplanes.<br />
<br />
According to <b>AvascentAnalytics</b> 
data, the total number of ongoing or potential competition fighter 
models, bombers and attack aircraft, a total of 54.<br />
There are 21 
competitors with only a certain strength, including 7 in Asia, 4 in the 
Americas, 8 in Europe, 2 in the Middle East and North africa.<br />
Overall, 
the total value of the aircraft development projects in these areas 
between 2011 and 2027 was $106 billion 700 million.<br />

<strong>Still mysterious American air force future bomber</strong><br />
Details
 of the American air force long-range strike bomber (known as the B 21 
bomber) are few and far between, but there is no doubt that the next ten
 years will have huge amounts of money to invest in the program.<br /><br />In
 October 2015, the air force awarded Northrop Grumman B-21 contract 
design. Most of the details of the plan are confidential, rarely 
disclosed details, but should progress more smoothly, Northrop recently 
quietly reached a milepost, end of the preliminary design review.<br />
<br />
<strong>Japan outlook for future technology</strong><br />More
 interesting work has taken place in Japan, where they are struggling to
 cope with China's fifth generation fighter aircraft and other advanced 
platforms in the region.<br />
<br />

<br />
"Earlier,
 F-2's programs were expensive, and they didn't get very good airplanes,
 but they did help technology innovation in the business sector," says 
Avascent, a market analyst at AaronLin.<br />
<br />
"The government has 
recognized the commercial value of the project and is now hoping that 
ATD-X (once X-2 is handed over to the government as MHI) serves as the 
fifth generation of technology platforms". The 2018 milestone is to 
determine whether Japan will acquire its fifth generation fighter 
through full domestic development, joint development with foreign 
partners or foreign "off the shelf" platforms.<br />
<br />
Of course, Japan's 
sixth generation fighter is another independent project, and is still in
 the conceptual stage. The sixth generation plan will draw some lessons 
from the fifth generation program, but, like other countries, Japan is 
still trying to figure out what defines the details of a sixth 
generation fighter.<br />
In accordance with Japan's defense ministry 
2010 project document, the concept of the sixth generation aircraft 
requires all the technology until about 2030-2050 years.<br />
