MIT: Underwater to Atmosphere Radio Communications Perfected

Incroyable! Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have developed what could very well be the ‘holy grail’ of submarine-to-surface communications. Monikered TARF, the system ostensibly converts SONAR to RADAR with no mid-processing steps req… Continue reading MIT: Underwater to Atmosphere Radio Communications Perfected

Report: Chinese Hackers Siphon Off ‘Massive’ Amounts of Undersea Military Data

The stolen data included “secret plans to develop a supersonic anti-ship missile for use on U.S. submarines by 2020,” American officials said. Continue reading Report: Chinese Hackers Siphon Off ‘Massive’ Amounts of Undersea Military Data

Humans May Have Accidentally Created a Radiation Shield Around Earth

 

NASA spends a lot of time researching the Earth and its surrounding space environment. One particular feature of interest are the Van Allen belts, so much so that NASA built special probes to study them! They’ve now discovered a protective bubble they believe has been generated by human transmissions in the VLF range.

VLF transmissions cover the 3-30 kHz range, and thus bandwidth is highly limited. VLF hardware is primarily used to communicate with submarines, often to remind them that, yes, everything is still fine and there’s no need to launch the nukes yet.  It’s also used for navigation …read more
