NATO Developed New Methods of Cognitive Warfare

BY: Leonid Savin PEJOURNAL - A leading role in Cognitive Warfare direction is played by the Innovation for Defense Excellence and Security (IDEaS) Specialized Center, also known as the Innovation Hub, located in Canada. However, this center is not included in the list of NATO’s official accredited centers of excellence , such as the Center for Cooperative Cyber ​​Defense in Tallinn or the Center for Energy Security in Vilnius. Probably, NATO did not want to draw attention to its work, so it functions “autonomously”. It should be admitted that this concealment approach was successful, since, judging by the news feed, the Center began work…

China’s new hypersonic missile test

PEJOURNAL - In August, a Chinese rocket carried a projectile into space. That projectile, reported by US intelligence agencies as a missile and by China as a reusable space vehicle, fell into an orbit, circled the globe, and then glided into a spot about 24 miles away from its original target. The launch represents a demonstration of a new capability for China, the revitalization of an old technology, and a complicated way to bypass existing missile defenses. While the speed and the gliding are notable parts of the system China launched, what most stands out is the specific trajectory it…

Nuclear Batteries, a new approach to Carbon-Free energy

PEJOURNAL - Jacopo Buongiorno and others say factory-built microreactors or as have been called Nuclear Batteries trucked to usage sites could be a safe, efficient option for decarbonizing electricity systems. We may be on the brink of a new paradigm for nuclear power, a group of nuclear specialists suggested recently in The Bridge, the journal of the National Academy of Engineering. Much as large, expensive, and centralized computers gave way to the widely distributed PCs of today, a new generation of relatively tiny and inexpensive factory-built reactors (Nuclear Batteries), designed for autonomous plug-and-play operation similar to plugging in an oversized battery,…
