Raider X helicopter


Lockheed Martin's Sikorsky introduced the Raider X recon helicopter in October 2019 for quick reconnaissance and strikes. The proposal competes with Boeing's 360 Invictus for the US Army's FARA programme. Sikorsky has 98% of the parts needed to finish the Raider, and the helicopter is 90% complete, according to Jay Macklin, head of development for Sikorsky Army Programs and Innovations.

Above is official art of the Raider X prototype with Hellfire rounds and a 20mm rifle. The American helicopter company showed a shot of the Raider X prototype alongside the graphics. This photo from the company's West Palm Beach, Florida, testing site confirms the weapons.

Lockheed Martin said Raider X uses production methods from CH-53K, CH-148, and F-35. This reduces deployment costs and simplifies upgrading the base and equipment to meet future hazards. Radier X's avionics and mission systems use MOSA and fly-by-wire technologies. Plug-and-play sensor, module, and weapon configurations increase versatility and survivability.

Sikorsky's work is based on the S-97 Raider and X2. The Raider X is a coaxial, counter-rotating rotorcraft with a rear-mounted propeller. This link will power the General Electric T901-GE-900 (GE3000) turboshaft engine, limiting the Radier X's speed, altitude, and manoeuvrability.

India instructs VPN companies to collect and store data for five and hand over to the government.

 A new governmental order will require virtual private networks to store user data for a minimum of five years. This is new national directive of the country's IT emergency response team, called. Photo by Kevin Paster: Pexel This is a policy that is probably going to make life harder for VPN businesses and VPN users. CERT-in announced on Thursday that the VPN companies of the country will have to keep the names of the clients, the physical and IP addresses validated, the habits of use and other forms of personal information. If the customer cancels their subscription or deletes their account, their information will always be stored in the company's servers according to the directive. Those who fail to do so could face up to one year in prison under the applicable law cited in the new directive. The directive does not stop at VPN providers.Data centres and cloud-based providers are listed in the same provision. India has a long tradition of putting the heavy hand to online activ

Brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad

 The government’s crackdown on PTI workers and supporters made it clear that they have decided to stop PTI’s Independence March at all cost. News reports say more than 1,000 PTO workers and activists have been arrested.  The government has called in the Rangers to maintain law and order in Islamabad and other major cities of the country, including Karachi. All entrances and exits to and from Islamabad were shut down, as was traffic between Lahore and the Twin Cities. The government has also instructed transport companies not to offer buses, cars, or vans to PTI workers. The manner in which Shahbaz and its allies are using state apparatus to prevent people from participating in the march is not acceptable.  The #WeAreComingKaptaan hashtag tells us that brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad.  Look what this government is doing spreading broken glasses on the road.

Everything you need to know about DDR5

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two channels, it means it can double t
