This is when cell phone jammers were being installed in public places like hospitals, libraries, theatres, religious places like churches, museum etc. But soon people started misusing this technology for improper purposes like theft or kidnapping.

"I welcome reports that the Air Force has decided to keep the A-10 aircraft flying through fiscal year 2017, ensuring our troops have the vital close-air support they need for missions around the world. Today, the A-10 fleet is playing an indispensable role in the fight against ISIL in Iraq and assisting NATO's efforts to deter Russian aggression in Eastern Europe," McCain said in a statement last year.

Infrared Digital Thermometer- This is a device that reads the temperature buy using and infra red beam to convert the detected temperature into an electrical signal that gets displayed in units of temperature.

"The 30mm cannon has 7 barrels. They are centered the way the aircraft fires. The firing barrel goes right down the center line. You can point the aircraft and shoot at the ground. It is designed for air to ground attack," Haden explained.

The major issue with these devices is that many localities ban the sale of these devices because they are transmitting signals at frequencies that the FCC doesn't like. Even though these devices are only effective at a short distance, owning these devices is still prohibited. It is similar to having radar detecting equipment in localities that have made it illegal. You can find places online willing to sell these jamming devices to anyone willing to take the risk of getting caught with one.

Laser Projector- A laser projector is a video projection device that uses lasers to break the image down and refocus it in a very powerful picture. Laser projectors boast the best quality color and picture sharpness available today.

The Wall Street Journal broke the story
the other day that the United States will be building a missile defense radar station at a top secret site in Qatar. While that's been widely reported, there have been  a recent bout of proposed foreign military sales to Qatar that have been largely under-reported.

Even more, Qatar asked for 24 AH-64D Apache Attack Helicopters
which are also in the pipeline for sale. That sale includes nearly 600 Hellfire missiles and 300 stinger missiles, as well as night vision goggles, 60 GPS systems, 30 radio jammers, 30 chain guns, and much more. 

As a result, the Air Force will be looking for the "optimal" type of close-air-support platform by weighing various considerations such as what the differences might be between existing aircraft and future developmental platforms.

The A-10 carries a full complement of weapons to include Joint Direct Attack Munitions, or JDAM GPS-guided bombs; its arsenal includes GBU 38s, GBU 31s, GBU 54s, Mk 82s, Mk 84s, AGM-65s (Maverick missiles), AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and rockets along with illumination flares, jammer pods and other protective countermeasures. The aircraft can carry 16,000 pounds of mixed ordnance; eight can fly under the wings and three under-fuselage pylon station, Air Force statements said.

When you have virtually any queries about in which as well as how you can employ http://www.griffithzone.com/userprofile/tabid/61/userid/26475140/default.aspx, it is possible to email us with our own page. Nowadays we are surrounded by bits of technology and gadgets that do many different things. There are so many tech gadgets it is hard to figure out which ones are worth buying and which ones aren't. This article will take a brief look at a list of top tech gadgets to see what they are and how to use them.

This kind of firepower, coupled with its 30mm cannon, titantium armor plates and built-in redundancy for close-air-support, makes the A-10 a valuable platform for potential larger-scale mechanized, force-on-force type warfare as well. The A-10 has a unique and valuable niche role to perform in the widest possible range of combat scenarios to include counterinsurgency, supporting troops on the ground in close proximity and bringing firepower, protection and infantry support to a large-scale war.

Unfortunately, the ways in which you regain your privacy when it comes to being tracked through GPS tracking device. Even though your options may be limited, they are effective. The solution you use to keep your privacy may be determined by where you live and the local laws in your area.

The GPS earth monitoring stations, of which there are 4 unmanned and 1 master stations, are responsible for relaying position data from the satellites to the master station. The master station uses this data to correct the position of the sat tiles which is then transmitted back to the satellites. This keeps the data that the satellites transmit synchronized to provide accurate coordinate information

Another way to jam GPS signals is to use good old fashioned technology... metal foil. If you can find the wires in the GPS tracking device, you can wrap the wires in a metal foil (aluminum foil or some other type of metal foil) and you will be able to block much of the signal coming into the device. The issue is that you have to know where the GPS tracking device is and you have to know where the antennae wires are on the device. If the device is in some hidden part of the automobile, you may have some digging to do in order to find it, and it may be difficult to encase the wires in foil.
