Laser Tag a la Satellite



The skills of a satellite "hit" squad are entirely dependent on how fast you can traverse the stack...it is not every day that 3-D holographic interferometry becomes essential as you need to study which bird was used for what...!!!

When I was in the US we had a guy come over form one of these defence majors to explain how satellite to submarine communication used to be done in the "old" days and how it has modernised over the years. While discussing the topic at hand he said they used to use the lasers to paint a pretty big area on the sea surface to communicate with the sub because they did not know the location of the damn thing...while this use to eventually solve the problem as the sub would reply if it was in the painted zone...it raised a huge big problem for the submarine as it would create huge big shadow on the sea floor giving away the subs position...!!!

When i was at school it used to bother me that we used to loose a lot of pilots in the air force for what was in my opinion not their fault or the machines they flew...who o who then could mess with these guys in air and lase the electronics of the machine in flight...i finally decided that a satellite mine field would solve this problem as the idiots would have no choice but to walk into our airspace and hit the damn field...just then a voice at the back of my head said...dude its war if you take out a satellite :)
