US AIR FORCE GENERAL WANTS TO DEVELOP INVISIBILITY TECHNOLOGY TO HIDE MILITARY PLANES

The Commander of the US Air Force’s Air Mobility Command wants to develop “Star Trek” electronic cloaking technologies to protect military aircraft.

General Carlton Everhart has called for Silicon Valley technology companies, specialists at the Pentagon’s new innovation office and the wider defense industry to build something capable of altering a plane’s radar image, to either hide it completely or trick the system into thinking it’s in an entirely different location.

One of Air Mobility Command’s responsibilities is refuelling US armed forces aircraft in mid-air.

General Everhart says he’d like to see both brand new and bulkier, first-generation Air Mobility Command aircraft receive the treatment, which he believes will have the dual-benefit of also keeping fighter jets hidden from enemies.

I’ve got airplanes with big fat bodies and long wings,” General Everhart told bloomberg

“I’ve got first-generation tankers refuelling fifth-gen fighters. The enemy doesn’t have to look for the fighter – he just has to look for me.”

Unfortunately for General Everhart, the idea is yet to get off the ground, as the industry hasn’t always taken his requests seriously.

“I asked industry for a cloaking device and they all laughed -- they said you’ve been watching too much [science fiction]. I said, ‘Listen to me -- this is what I want -- something that would be able to change the waveform’.

“I’m piggybacking off industry. If I put it in the military acquisition system, it would be 50 years before I get it out because of the regulations that we have.”

General Everhart also revealed that he wants to fit Air Mobility Command tankers with lasers capable of destroying ground-to-air missiles, rather than just sending them off-course, as they currently do.

Facebook launches digital assistant ‘M’ in the US

Facebook today launched its digital assistant named “M” for US users of its Messenger application, ramping up the social network’s efforts in artificial intelligence. For users of the messaging platform, M will pop up and suggest “helpful actions” in the chat window. The move is seen as the first step in a broader launch of the digital assistant to compete against services from google,Amazon, microsoft,samsung,which is launching its new assistant with its newest smartphone. M uses artificial intelligence and “suggests relevant actions to help manage conversations or help get things done,” Facebook product managers Laurent Landowski and Kemal El Moujahid said in a blog post. “We are bringing the power of M’s AI technology to support and enhance the Messenger experience and make it more useful, personal and seamless.” With M, Facebook Messenger users can simplify tasks such as sending money to friends, sharing location or obtaining a ride-share. Facebook, which has i...

Create your own Audiobook from any PDF using Python

Are you bored of reading pdfs, soft copies, books? Then here's a solution, you can convert it into an Audiobook and Listen. Let's get Started First, we need to install the necessary libraries. We require two libraries to build Audiobooks using Python. 1. PyPDF2 A Pure-Python library built as a PDF toolkit. It is capable of extracting document information splitting documents page by page merging documents page by page cropping pages merging multiple pages into a single page encrypting and decrypting PDF files and more! So open your terminal and run the following command. pip install PyPDF2 2. Pyttsx3 pyttsx3 is a text-to-speech conversion library in Python. Unlike alternative libraries, it works offline and is compatible with both Python 2 and 3. So open your terminal and run the following command. pip install pyttsx3 Now here the code for it. import pyttsx3 import PyPDF2 book_name = open('harrypotter.pdf','rb') pdf_reader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(book_name) pa...

What is ARP Monitor?

ARP MONITOR It’s FREE tool like arpwatch but for Windows OS. This tool can help with ARP activity monitoring in computer networks. It allows you to catch intruders on the network, track MAC-IP bundles, detect scans, monitor real-time ARP protocol activity in the segment, and much more. This windows software monitors ethernet activity like unix apwatch and keeps a database of ethernet/ip address pairings. new activity - This ethernet/ip address pair has been used for the first time. new station - The ethernet address has not been seen before. flip flop - The ethernet address has changed from the most recently seen address to the second most recently seen address. changed ethernet address - The host switched to a new ethernet address.
