Sorry by ISR detection I meant air assets

2020-04-30 04:35:52 UTC  

@Bob Dole I’m not tech savvy enough to understand the exact encryption process, but that’s what we used for casual comms on my last deployment

2020-04-30 04:36:44 UTC  

if you can just record a signal to a digital medium then it would be possible to run decryption on pretty much anythign you broadcast with encryption

2020-04-30 04:36:53 UTC  

Oh no shit? They let y'all have personal cells downrange? My last deployment all we had were a few sat phones for SHTF and our comm got schwacked

2020-04-30 04:37:35 UTC  

We had it on our personals and our gov cells

2020-04-30 04:37:45 UTC  

for that you would just pre-record your message, run it through encryption command, broadcast. then ppl on the receiver would have the other half an private/public keypair

2020-04-30 04:37:59 UTC  

can do 8192 bit encryption or whatnot with that

2020-04-30 04:38:08 UTC  

Times have changed since my last tour lol. That was back in 08 though so shouldn't surprise me

2020-04-30 04:38:10 UTC  

really whatever bit u want

2020-04-30 04:38:16 UTC  

USFG has access to all of your cell phone i/o not through the app but partnerships with companies that make your cell phone hardware.

2020-04-30 04:38:28 UTC  

tho you really want to physically send the keypairs not digitally

2020-04-30 04:38:44 UTC  

and confirm reception before broadcast

2020-04-30 04:38:50 UTC  

@Garet I’m looking for a solution that can detect and potentially track the path of loitering air assets. That’s what I mean by ISR detection

2020-04-30 04:39:00 UTC  

oh see im super noob

2020-04-30 04:39:01 UTC  

lol

2020-04-30 04:39:05 UTC  

with that

2020-04-30 04:39:11 UTC  

Alright I'll leave you boys to it cause now you're talking greek

2020-04-30 04:39:36 UTC  

lasers?

2020-04-30 04:39:43 UTC  

so for that i assume you'd want to hook into an object-recognition library

2020-04-30 04:40:09 UTC  

I talked about it with my last ops chief. If they’re using active stuff it’s not that bad, but if they’re passive it’s tricky.

2020-04-30 04:40:10 UTC  

and a sparse matrix library

2020-04-30 04:40:45 UTC  

ya if they aren't moving its harder to discern their existance

2020-04-30 04:41:08 UTC  

you can do it with a slower scan mode but you'd have to then find some rule to know when to use it

2020-04-30 04:41:29 UTC  

if im understanding you

2020-04-30 04:41:34 UTC  

Sorry, active meaning transmission of data or pushing IR designator, passive meaning nothing leaving

2020-04-30 04:43:04 UTC  

hmmm thats hard im only coming up with brute force solutions off the top of my head

2020-04-30 04:43:33 UTC  

where you'd have to try permutations of signals to trigger a handshake on potential matches

2020-04-30 04:44:12 UTC  

you're talking about devices in air doing data routing?

2020-04-30 04:45:06 UTC  

Yes, although thinking about it, if they’re manned assets they might only be pushing radio

2020-04-30 04:45:59 UTC  

well if you could get a small array of drones in a tight enough formation

2020-04-30 04:46:29 UTC  

you could manage some pretty fancy mapping of the signal environment in 3d

2020-04-30 04:46:53 UTC  

and encrypted or not you'd manage to see where they were coming from over time

2020-04-30 04:47:09 UTC  

Interesting. Would that be fucked in an ao that’s super transmission heavy?

2020-04-30 04:50:30 UTC  

you would just need to be able to have variation in the voltage on the antennas. there probably is some limit for the material and size of antenna used, but with a swarm of say 8 drones in a cube -- no matter how much noise you had the triangulation of the map would be pretty much automatic. you might have to take longer samples to get a deep enough visual

2020-04-30 04:51:32 UTC  

Problem is where talking a potential 20k radius circle

2020-04-30 04:51:49 UTC  

20k ....20 kilometer?

2020-04-30 04:52:15 UTC  

Yeah

2020-04-30 04:53:34 UTC  

🤔

2020-04-30 04:53:53 UTC  

You’d be amazed at the sensor arrays that are out there

2020-04-30 04:54:27 UTC  

i have heard they have all these meta-material sensors now

2020-04-30 04:54:31 UTC  

never got to play with any
