In 2005 we saw the Unmanned Aerial Surveillance Vehicles prove their worth as they continued to earn the keep in the battlespace in the Middle East; both in Afghanistan and in Iraq. We saw a number of different systems being used, both large aircraft size UAVs like the Global Hawk and the Predator and small “remote control” aircraft size UAVs in more urban combat settings with the United States Marine Corp. What will 2006 bring in the way of new defensive weapons to fight the war on terror both away and her at home? What trends should we watch and what comes next?

Expect to see more Unmanned Vehicles along our borders both in the air and on the ground. Expect to see new tactics being developed for robotic vehicles using swarming technique. Expect to see more bio-sensors to detect disease, anthrax and chemical agents at border crossings and protecting our troops abroad. Expect more use of high-energy lasers for shooting down incoming missiles and enemy aircraft.

Expect to see underwater unmanned vehicles which do surveillance and are tied into the net-centric battlespace thru direct ship communication and satellites and other unmanned vehicles in the air, water or on the ground. Expect to see more non-lethal and lethal energy weapons to stop intruders or disrupt threats to our national security interests, citizenry, first responders or soldiers. You can expect all of this in 2006.

There has been quite a lot of talk about taking sound waves to control organic insects with or even to use to stop locust plagues or steer bee swarms. But the more I look at this the more I want to build a micro-mechanical flying insect rather than screw around destroying the bugs. Then use the sound waves to help keep them aloft.

It would be great to study them and Bees make the most sense because we already know how to control them. We get a big aircraft hanger and draw lines on the floor and ceiling and then use virtual laser grids in a visible range that the sound will not interfere with.

Have the bees swarm across the floor and then turn the device at an appropriate setting of guestimation based on previous acoustic transducer thin film frequencies, which have already been documented in the lab, which coincide with the thickness and density of the wing structures.

It would be fun to rev it up to see if we could increase the Bees abilities first and see if the whole swarm moves upward before re-adjusting. Positive; increasing flying characteristics first. Then destructive later, as you do not want to kill all the bees, we need them later. And even when we use destructive we do so only in a zone or grid using directional sound precision.

In an online think tank one member states his choice of experiments; “Two modes need to be attempted; 1. Disrupt the “dynamic sound structures” that I perceive are located under each wing of the bee in the swarm or locust in the swarm; 2. Apply constructive / destructive sound energy that will produce a resonate-frequency that affects the wing structure.”

And I also believe that all the information gained will be of value to many other projects in the future. Especially to help in micro-mechanical insect swarm flight and defense against it if an any enemy tries anything. Consider all this in 2006.

Can we use the sand dunes on Titan to determine thru the study of erosion patterns what the weather is like there? We know from studying Earth deserts and the movement of sand and the patterns below that we can determine wind speeds and direction of prevailing winds and even seasonal shift changes. So then, why can we not do this on Saturn’s largest moon too?

Indeed it is possible and with man-made NASA probes and satellites from Earth feeding us back information from close range we can see the patterns in the sands of Titan and this allows us to better understand its climate and weather or wind flows. This will help us better understand how the system on Titan works and adds additional clues to scientists who are trying to figure out what makes Titan Tick.

Further by studying the sand dunes of Titan we might better determine if there is life on the Moon and where on the Moon it might be you see? Also by looking at the patterns of sand we can figure out exactly what they are made of and thus figure out their density and consistency to help us determine why they are there and how the surface of the planet like Moon came to be. The sand dunes on Titan may very well be just the weather vane we were looking for as we explore Titan; Saturn’s largest moon. Consider all this in 2006.
