Laserwaffe kann auch halbe Tonne abschießen

Reagans StarWars Träume realistisch?

In den 80-iger Jahren versprach US Präsident Ronals Reagan die USA mit einem Raketenabwehrschirm vor jedem Angriff von außen zu schützen. Vor wenigen Wochen haben sich solche Systeme bei der fast vollständigen Abwehr vor anfliegenden Drohnen und Raketen in Israel bewährt. Nun behauptet Boeing mit einer kompakten und mobilen Laser-Waffe auch größere Gruppe-3-Drohnen abschießen zu können.

Der militärische Vorteil liegt auf der Hand, statt mit Iris-T oder Patriot ca. 50.000 $ teure Raketen zu starten, um damit Drohnen für einige Hundert $ abzuschießen, muss man "nur" einen leistungsstarken Laserstrahl an- und wieder abzuschalten.

Im U.S. Army Red Sands Experimental Center in Saudi-Arabien hat Boeing sein integriertes Waffensystem Compact Laser Weapon System (CLWS) an unterschiedlichen Drohnen getestet. Das System soll auch an größeren Drohnen der Gruppe 3 erfolgreich gewesen sein. Das sind Drohnen, die ein Startgewicht von bis zu 600 kg aufweisen und bis zu 460 km/h schnell fliegen können, schreibt Heise.de.

Allerdings ist die Reichweite des CLWS mit Entfernungen zwischen 200 und 2500 m noch gering. Nur in diesen Abständen ist der Laser stark genug, um die Drohnen mechanisch so zu beschädigen, dass sie abstürzen.

Für "Freunde der KI" noch ein Satz aus der Erklärung von Boeing: "Das CLWS visierte das vorgegebene Ziel automatisch an und beschoss die Drohnen mit dem Laser." Lediglich zum Aufbau des Systems werden noch zwei Boeing-Ingenieure benötigt ...

Für den Notfall ist hoffentlich noch ein Boeing-Ingenieur vorgesehen, der dem System den Strom abstellt, wenn es plötzlich auf andere Gegenstände schießt ...

wikipedia - The Maunsell Forts are towers built in the Thames and Mersey estuaries during the Second World War to help defend the United Kingdom. They were operated as army and navy forts, and named for their designer, Guy Maunsell.The forts were decommissioned during the late 1950s and later used for other activities including pirate radio broadcasting. One of the forts is managed by the unrecognised Principality of Sealand; boats visit the remaining forts occasionally, and a consortium named Project Redsands is planning to conserve the fort situated at Red Sands. The aesthetic attraction of the Maunsell forts has been considered to be associated with the aesthetics of decay, transience and nostalgia.

Just remembered I have a shittly made Llamas in hats animatic with Thoughttella and Redsand, but like that would be how they'd act together. Redsand being a bat shit insane old(not really) women with her platonic non-binary he/they kid. I was also thinking about making Redsand and Emerald platonic lesbian mums to Thoughttella, they negatively influence him daily and smoke together.

Funniest part, Thoughttella alrighty has parents most importantly a health relationship with their Parents, but they spend most of their time with their crack family instead.

[cliff-and-the-kid]

(Noodling around with different 'verses, since that seems to be a Thing happening more often lately)

Main TFP universe, aka Cliff Lives

My first and foremost setting for Cliffjumper and Sierra, based on some fan fiction I wrote several years ago. Unless otherwise specified, this is where I'm working from concerning interactions, whether that means a thread is taking place in my AU, or Cliff and Sierra have un/intentionally gone universe hopping. Their groundbridge acts screwy plenty often, no need to elaborate beyond that.

Fae!verse

This one comes from @sparkmender, who's shared a frankly fascinating giant-magic-insect AU that I'm dipping my toes into, with red lily beetle Cliffjumper pretending he isn't breaking any rules by smuggling a teenage human into Iacon Hive, and said human changeling Sierra figuring out how to poke her magic into revealing itself. And also how to avoid being eaten.

Sarant!verse

Look. I'm a self-published author with one (1) novel to my name so far. Sarant is a big massive complex world I've been building over the past fourteen years, there's a tabletop roleplaying game I started crafting alongside the various book plots, and I will absolutely take any excuse to put some free publicity out there while also having fun amusing myself and friends. Hence Minotaur!Cliff and Quirren!Sierra and a few others I've been putting together.

Jedi!verse

Aaand this one I blame @ghostlyvisage for; mentioning a Mandalorian bounty version of Ghostspire instantly catapulted my brain towards all the space-magic shenanigans Cliff and Sierra could get into with the Force. So, introducing Devaronian Jedi Master Cliff Jammp'r and his human padawan Sierra Redsand, blue and green lightsabers respectively.

Cyberkid!verse

SO THIS ONE HAS A FEW DIFFERENT ITERATIONS, depending on which way the cards fell in Sierra being cyberformed via Omega Lock, yes there will eventually be fics for each. The main line is her alone going into the goop and coming out a brand new Cybertronian, except in an initially inert form that means Cliff and the others leave her for dead. Once the kid wakes up, however, the Decepticons quickly scoop her up as a 'recruit' (aka ace in the hole for taunting the bots), and it isn't until her path crosses with Cliffjumper again that Sierra remembers herself, remembers being human, remembers him. They escape, and the 'verse goes from there. Alternate Option! My girl isn't the only one cyberformed, because @convenientkeystorage and I are suckers for letting Sierra and Jack act like bonded cats even when they've become amnesiac alien robots. These posts are additionally labeled Sunset AU

Adventure!verse

Vaguely D&D, mainly just high fantasy shenanigans, with dragon!Cliff toting around young elf wizardling Sierra. So far this one's mostly art, we'll see if I ever get around to writing for it

Squire!verse

Less sorcery and more swords, featuring Sir Cliff the Jumper, Knight of the Autobot Order, and his young squire Sierra of Jasper. Also mainly art for the moment

Supers!verse

I'm not calling this one an X-Men AU, but. That's essentially what it's based off of. Established superhero and mutant boarding school gym teacher Cliffjumper generally likes all his students, but there's this one little spitfire with energy powers that he takes a bigger shine towards and invites to be his part-time sidekick

Future!verse

There are really only two ships I'll ever write on this blog, and that's Sierra/Jack and Cliff/Arcee, with a longterm endgoal of next gen fluff. I've got the name 'Gatecrasher' picked out for a dark magenta colored mechling, and 'April' for a human great-granddaughter, and at some point there might be some time travel shenanigans purely so I can give them a bit of the spotlight

Four Days

hello darlings! today's story was brought to you by Stefan! Darling, thank you so much for your support! 

Prompt: Desert Glass - Honeymoon

It was not Dabir’s first time to the Redsand Isles and he took special pleasure in showing Kalaesa all around the place that he often used to come during his studies. It was hot, of course. The Isles were tropical, even now, in what was, after a fashion, ‘winter’. All that meant was that there were afternoon rain showers of thick, warm rain that helped the island’s thick jungle flourish.

Currently, Dabir was introducing his lovely wife to the island’s many markets. As a major trading port, the Isles were a frequent port for ships crossing the ocean, and that meant goods of all sorts filled the markets. Dabir was thrilled to discover many of his favorites were still available, and had been introducing Kalaesa to the wide range of cultures on offer. Some she knew already, and happily traded him experience for experience.

Dressed as wealthy commoners, it was a blessing to finally be free of both her duty to the crown, and his worries about his enemies. Here on this island, with the protections of his old friend so thick he could almost smell them, mixed with the heady scent of flowers, it was safe.

Really, he was a fool for not running here to the protections of his own kind, but then, he wasn’t known for his good decisions when he didn’t have time to make a real plan.

Also, if he did that, he wouldn’t have met Kalaesa.

“You’re thinking too much,” Kalaesa said as she walked beside him, barefoot in the pink sand, with a skewer of some sort of fruit on it. Neither of them were entirely sure what the fruit was called, but it was almost like melon, and almost the same shade of pink-orange. Regardless, it was common about the isles, and they were eager to eat it whenever it was available. “But I know you. Tell me what’s on your mind?”

“How beautiful you are,” Dabir said, and twirled her gently by one hand. She really was lovely, dressed in floating pale blue silks that set off her auburn hair. It left her shoulders and a fair part of her back bare, and would be utterly inappropriate anywhere but the Isles, where everyone dressed so lightly. Even Dabir himself had relented to the heat and wore little but a loose shirt and trousers, and the sandals his own people preferred to boots. “And how glad I am to have met you.”

“You’re a flirt,” she accused him playfully but spun again at his urging, before she looped her arm through his and leaned her head on his shoulder as they walked. “And I’m sure you’re lying.”

“I am a little,” he replied and kissed the top of her head. “I was thinking I was an idiot for not running here, when I left Evash’hai. Yaimerisal would have given me shelter, and even Chakir would not be so fool as to challenge two Pillars, particularly one of Yai’s age and experience. I might be young to the title, but he has turned the fates of countries with little more than a visit for tea.”

“It does seem a little silly not to go to him, then,” Kalaesa agreed, never one to be delicate when she thought he was being a bonehead. It was, as it happened, something Dabir loved about her. She would never hold information from him to spare his feelings. “But I’m glad you didn’t, although I would wish you did, if only to spare you the suffering. This is very far from Kaelavash.”

“It is,” Dabir said and tossed their now-empty skewer into one of the many small braziers that the meat-sellers roasted their products over. “I would likely have never come to your cold shores. At least, not until Chakir gave up on me.”

“Maybe we would have met on a venture like this one,” Kalaesa suggested mischievously. “You wouldn’t know I was a princess, just wandering the markets, and I wouldn’t know you were a Pillar. Would you even notice me?”

“I wouldn’t be able to take my eyes off you,” Dabir played along with her game and was rewarded by her bright smile. “I’m not brave. It would take me days of glimpsing you to work up the courage to say hello.”

“With your Evash’hai manners, you would sweep me off my feet just as fast as you did in this life,” Kalaesa teased, and drew him to where they could hear musicians, setting up for the evening market. The Isles loved to dance, and there was music every night. Dabir was only a passable dancer, but no one here was an expert in the colorful whirl. “And I’m sure I would scandalize you, what with my northern manners.”

“I imagine you would be the one to drag me off, not the other way around,” Dabir admitted with a laugh, since that was also rather what had happened. “But I would be in love with you between one glance and the next, so I would let you take me anywhere.”

“Oh anywhere?” Kalaesa asked with a coy look at him up through his lashes that immediately had him thinking of a different sort of dance entirely. By her sly smile, she knew exactly what she was doing to him, and was not the least bit sorry. “That’s a very dangerous thing to say to someone like me.”

“If you asked, I would give you the world,” Dabir said and pulled her close in the shadows of a towering palm. She fell into his arms with a soft laugh of triumph that told him he had fallen for her trap without even noticing it. “Everything in my power to give. If you asked for a drop of time itself, held in a crystal, it would not be too much.”

“I don’t want the world,” Kalaesa whispered to him, and stood on her toes for a soft, slow kiss. “I don’t want your power. I don’t want a drop of time, held in a crystal. I just want you to love me as much as I love you.”

“That, I will do until the end of our days and beyond,” Dabir promised her between kisses that made his heart pound under her small hand. He pulled her close and wrapped his power around them with a twist of thought he rarely used. The market vanished from around them in a rush of smoke that left them standing in the sand before their borrowed villa. Kalaesa gasped at the sudden rush of magic and Dabir took the moment to sweep her off her feet into his arms. “Come, my beloved. My wife. We have four days yet before we’re expected back. I see no better use for those days than worshiping you as you deserve.”
