When whole satellite networks spatial grid positional systems are effectively block shifted in any direction, by any distance, suddenly you have a whole lot of birds that can "redirect" anything that requires those SV's for navigation, rendering them useless except for those controlling the "new" grid coords.Back to how satellites are useful
Well step one done, I hope they broadcast more recent 'escape to the country' episodes, we might become boat people.
Solomon Islands inks security deal with China, ignoring Australian protests
The agreement paves the way for China to take its first major stake in security in the Pacific and tests Australia’s century-long influence over the region.www.theage.com.au
Now just to get Indonesia onboard and Bob's your uncle.
Jeez @rederob I hope I can cancel the Hyundai and buy a BYD E.V, I'll ask for a Chinese flag mounted on the bonnet, if it is on the accessory list.
You never know how soon that small a cost, may save your ar$e.
As I posted years ago, we were testing hypersonic missiles in the 1990's at Woomera, if people think that all that was just shelved, they are down at the end of the garden with the fairies, the dwarves and rob. ?Looks like we had better get a move on with those hypersonic missiles.
Nor is signal jamming.Positional spoofing via hacked birds. It's not rocket science ?
That is why we are using subterfuge and obfuscation, by deploying fast food outlets, stuff the satellites, go for the heart.Nor is signal jamming.
Nearly every new military initiative has a counter that can be invoked.
That's why any significant investment in satellites makes no sense when just about everything we need can be accessed commercially.
But they are all secret ICBM silo sites that China has let the Golden Arches build over so American satellites won't target them.That is why we are using subterfuge and obfuscation, by deploying fast food outlets.

If there's a conspiracy here then rumour has you will be in like Flynn.??
I'm just sitting here having a quiet beer and wondering how I became involved in this thread?
Interesting irony there, Red. Anyway, nice to know you're thinking of me.If there's a conspiracy here then rumour has you will be in like Flynn.
Otherwise, cheers.
I wonder what these now grown up hypersonic students think of the DSC.As I posted years ago, we were testing hypersonic missiles in the 1990's at Woomera, if people think that all that was just shelved, they are down at the end of the garden with the fairies, the dwarves and rob. ?
This is from the bloody SMH 2009

All of a sudden China and Russia crack it and it's news.
Directorate:Maybe they could give us a hint.
As I said, they fed you word salad as there is no main course.
The DSC not into R&D so the answer is no.
Correct.
We "access" satellites, just like Optus would for communications.
It's a military command structure. I have written Reports for our military so I know this was a political move as the DSC's role is of a "directorate".
As a directorate the team can serve a useful role in coordination activities.
You've just said it yourself, Chinese BeiDou system.Back to how satellites are useful. I have yet to see anyone post something that is not possible via commercial satellites beyond US DoD's GPS system. And FYI, if America ever pulled the plug on us then the Chinese could fill the void with their BeiDou system.
Perfect: I outlined what their lines of effort were in post 104.Directorate:
noun: directorate; plural noun:
a section of a government department in charge of a particular activity.
Over 120 countries are already using BeiDou.You've just said it yourself, Chinese BeiDou system.
With the rhetoric and stance China has been taking against Australia, would we even get access to that system?
If such an organisation existed, then mine too. But ideally this needs to be a plus-billion dollar budget element within DSTG if we are to be serious.How we do that I'll leave to those with the know how and skill sets to do so. They have my full support.
I regard it more as a bluff in Poker. Except we revealed our hand and can't even make a pair!Thing is, regardless of what we discuss here, in makes no matter as the powers that be (East or West) will just keep on playing their games of Chess or, more accurately, Go/Weiqi and move pieces on the game board.
The DSC is just another move on that game board.
You have to start somewhere rob.Perfect: I outlined what their lines of effort were in post 104.

I agree, and DSTG is the perfect element, as otherwise the wheel is already circling us above.You have to start somewhere rob.
Finally I now have the gist of it.I agree, and DSTG is the perfect element, as otherwise the wheel is already circling us above.
It will be interesting to read the Ukraine War wash-up in terms of the role of satellites given Ukraine has none and they are beating back the Russian military which do.
Aside from my concern about a Command of nothing in the DSC, the real problem with this decision and the nuclear sub decision is that they fail the test of future proofing our military elements. That is, neither nuclear subs nor satellites represent the cutting edge of defence spending for effect.
What the Ukraine War has proven is that national defence can be based on a geographically widespread deployment of relatively small forces that punch well above their weight. Defensive missile systems and loitering weapons (drones/Switchblades) have thwarted Russian attacks to the extent they have now become offensive weapons. Although we are not yet there with technology, it will soon be possible to integrate AI into into loitering weapons such that they become an autonomous kamikaze strike force which can be scaled to kill anything from soldiers to battle ships as either singular vehicles or in swarm formation. The use of AI in such weapons means that neither satellite intervention (via GPS or communications) or humans are needed to control them until they hit their targets.
Somewhat off topic, I would love see a feasibility study on transforming Australia's Bushmaster troop carriers from single engine diesel drive, to all wheel electric drive via two separate HFC "engines". Imagine the effectiveness of a silent troop carrier with 1000km range and built-in traction redundancies!
While a good idea we could never afford the naval or air force necessary, and that's why we have alliances. For example, where would we place any of our "defences" along our 30000 km coastline, and how much of the skies or seas could realistically be defended beyond our borders?We shouldn't be waiting until an enemy gets to our shores before we defend ourselves.
We need anti-ship, anti-aircraft and anti-missile missiles to make sure that soldiers never land on the mainland.
