Detenidos los tres islamistas que ensayaban con UAV para realizar un atentado
El Ministerio del Interior ha difundido documentación gráfica que
desvela que los yihadistas Eldar Magomedov, Muhamed Adamov y Cegiz
Yalzin habían ensayado con un avión teledirigido para cometer atentados.En
concreto, se trata de un vídeo, con muy baja resolución, en el que se
observa cómo despega uno de estos aviones y del que posteriormente se
desprende una bolsa de plástico que desciende lentamente mediante un
pequeño paracaidas. A continuación se ve al turco Cegiz Yalzin que
comprueba que el ensayo ha teniodo resultados satisfactorios.

El MIT desarrolla un UAV de ala fija capaz de sortear cualquier obstáculo
El Robust Robotics Group del afamado Instituto Tecnológico de
Massachusetts está trabajando en vehículos aéreos no tripulados capaces
de orientarse en interiores sin necesidad de
datos de cartografía preexistentes ni sistemas de posicionamiento vía
satélite (GPS); utilizando simplemente medidores de distancia láser
(entre otros sensores) y un cerebro Intel Atom para procesar las rutinas
de inteligencia artificial.

Vídeos y Fotos: Primer vuelo del LEMV, del X-48C, video del X-47B y primera suelta de bombas desde un F-35
Este verano, lejos de estar de vacaciones, está siendo espectacular en cuanto a presentaciones se refiere. Por un lado el estreno de la aeronave híbrida LEMV*. Por otro lado el vuelo del UCAV X-47B, el uso de alas volantes como aviones no tripulados de combate. Y una vez más, al que me recuerde que es como los aviones de los Horten, ¡habrá que recordarle que también es como los aviones de Northrop! Y es que el mismo sueño se perseguía en ambos lados del atlántico. Similar a esta aeronave es el X-48C, aunque en este caso no se trata de un ala volante, si no de un BWB, Blended Wing Body, un avión en el que fuselaje y ala están totalmente integrados. En teoría se espera que los aviones que sustituyan a los actuales aviones de pasajeros tipo "fuselaje de tubo y alas" sean como éste. Respecto al último vídeo, se describe por si solo, se trata de la primera suelta de bombas realizadas desde el F-35B.

NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity getting "brain transplant"
NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity getting "brain transplant":
NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity is changing its mind – or rather, NASA is changing Curiosity’s mind for it. The 4X4-sized robot explorer is spending its first weekend on the Red Planet installing a major software update that NASA calls a “brain transplant.” This new software replaces that which Curiosity ran while in transit from Earth and will prepare the rover for exploring the Martian surface...

NASA's Morpheus lander crashes, burns, explodes, burns some more
NASA's Morpheus lander crashes, burns, explodes, burns some more:
A free test flight of NASA's prototype Morpheus lander ended prematurely, spectacularly and in flames on Thursday when the vehicle lost stability directly after take off, crashed upside down into the dirt, before experiencing a number of explosions that left the lander in flames and apparently completely destroyed. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the incident... Continue Reading NASA's Morpheus lander crashes, burns, explodes, burns some more
