Oracle for the Army



It was naive for me to think that computer systems are not sufficiently used in the military, they probably are and very extensively. But I was, however, surprised how innovative some nations are and how open they are to use all possibilities in IT for their operations. It is clear that complicated systems are very computerized but to use some system also for field operations sounds very interesting as well. 

"Delta software developed to help collect and disseminate information about enemy’s movements", is one of the functionalities mentioned. "A constantly updated portrayal of the evolving battlefield [...] displayed with one click" is another functionality mentioned. 

It is called Delta, a software package developed by Ukrainian programmers to give their armed forces an advantage in a contest of which side can see the battlefield more clearly and therefore predict the enemy forces’ moves and strike them faster and more accurately.

A credit for the Ukrainian army that under these conditions managed to develop themselves additional tools to help them. You can find the comments that they are also faced with the fact that they have to quickly change the organisation of the army, talking about horizontal links between the units. This is also something important. Technology can only help to move quicker and to reorganize quicker but the whole structure has to be organized in such a way to make use of these advantages. For big armies it can be a particular challenge as of course some hierarchical model is also necessary in the big structure, in my opinion.

    People Without drawing any conclusions, just for my own interest and for others to whom it may be interesting. Data based on the World Bank statistics. The population growth is in percentage. Data is provided until the year 2050, but because the percentage change is pretty much similar over the presented years I extended the curve until 2099 for total population graph and show the data as per World Bank until 2050 and then the extended trend until 2099. With decreasing growth population is still growing at 2050, reaches 0% growth in 2076 and starts decreasing from this point at quite low rate that the population line is quite flat.

Which Ones Do You Know?

    Which Ones Do You Know? I somehow lost the interest to continue with some conclusion of tactics and strategies and arms used and supplied by the greatest armies of this world. I started to think what I know from what I could use if needed. When I ask myself a question "which ones do you know", I am talking about the assault rifles. Today, as probably now for more than a century, soldier who is not equipped with a rifle is not a soldier, unless you use a tank, pilot a plan or use other equipment that is used to do some damage to the enemy. It's a bit surprise to me, what a wide choice of different assault rifles exist. Every bigger and quite many medium size and smaller countries have their own models of assault rifles . Which is your favorite and how well do you master it? For me who has not served in any army, I have quite limited knowledge and using practice of any of the assault rifles.

See if you remember this one - Rush - Superconductor (Lyrics), Rush - Lock & Key (Lyrics)

In what mood am I today? Something from my today's experience reminded me of something in the past? Or I just remembered something and music from the past takes me back. Or I just want to listen to that song I liked once. See if you remember this one: Rush-Superconductor (Lyrics) Rush-Lock & Key (Lyrics) After this romantic turn of nice songs let's turn to something more complex. I don't know how but my class friend digged out this group Rush. A bit critical in the beginning I gradually started to like the music of the group and could only wonder how my class friend could find,  evaluate and appreciate their music. Have to be a good music expert to understand this. What I find on the internet is that the group performed complex compositions by very professional musicians. For me it is also a very strictly and well organised songs with meaningful lyrics. In my sometimes chaotic and easily irritated mind this seemed  quite admirable. Now listening to the some of these son...
