with that

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

lasers?

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

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.

and a sparse matrix library

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

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

if im understanding you

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Problem is where talking a potential 20k radius circle

20k ....20 kilometer?

Yeah

🤔

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

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

never got to play with any

lol

Just fancy cameras mostly, plus data collection shit

well i can hook up a cmos and get video out so im sure it cant be too crazy on the data side

Haha

but im curious about resolution and distance and speed and such

Oh. Bruhhh. I’m not spitting specs on this platform, but it’s amazing stuff

haha

well someday maybe you will need some beta testers haha

the physical specs i am fairly novice at anyway tho

not clueless but nothing great lol

I wish I was in that position 😂 I was an end user

oh haha

I just nerd out over anything I mess with so I spent a bunch of time talking to the tech cats

what we should do is just get a shitload of cheap scrap metal and build a 2-bit knockoff of HAARP

lol
