CSM Exclusive: Iran hijacked US drone, says Iranian engineer
[T]his engineer’s account of how Iran took over one of America’s most sophisticated drones suggests Tehran has found a way to hit back. The techniques were developed from reverse-engineering several less sophisticated American drones captured or shot down in recent years, the engineer says, and by taking advantage of weak, easily manipulated GPS signals, which calculate location and speed from multiple satellites.
I’m pretty sure “weak, easily manipulated GPS signals” is a sphincter-clench-inducing phrase in some circles.
Programmers are labor. How can management be held responsible when they never lift the heavy end? Management makes decisions, workers make mistakes.
A corporal gassed in WWII trenches had a remarkable run of successes by contradicting professional management. Germany smothered in US productivity. After Berlin fell, the US… located, seized, and interrogated Otto Ruelen, who filed the first Oxo-process patent. WWII was economic conquest.
Beltway lobotomites whine about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, above all a Severely Gifted engineer. His opposition is an overbaked puff pastry lawyer. Engineering is like math, only louder. Legislation is faerie dust. Compromise is death.
if you use a drone for geocaching, you are cheating. especially if you use the hellfire missles to eliminate those hikers that are ahead of you.
