the US now has a very small Air-Ground Missile in development;it's
called Spike(not the Israeli Spike ATGM),and is 2 ft long,5.3 lb total
and has a 1 lb warhead,electro-optical guidance.It's intended to take
out unarmored/lightly armored vehicles or single rooms in buildings
and not cause a lot of collateral damage.
A soldier can carry three missiles and launcher,and it can also be
carried on the drones.
it's like a small model rocket.

Heck,-I- want a launch rail on MY car.
Anybody have plans for a rail gun ?

I think you're a friggin' retard.
You ain't real bright.
The real question is: "Do you even know what IS in current use?"
NONE of the Predator's signals UP to the bird were intercepted.

Passing encrypted video over a satellite network built for
unencrypted analog video is not a trivial challenge. As far as I
know, there exists no scheme to do this that has not been broken
already. The problem is that encryption works partly by diffusing
information so that no part of the output looks like any part of
the input. The satellite link is filled with errors and distortion
that have to be contained to retain adequate video quality.
um,, is that why General Instrument was able to do it did it 15 years
ago for HBO?
Is it "known" that the GI stuff (ironyisn't cracked?
You do know there were two levels of Videocipher? VC-1 was designed
for military applications.
Total bullshit. It was designed for backhaul work. It was also used
by companies like General Motors, to feed training seminars, etc. to all
their dealerships. They were one of the first OTA educational systems of
that depth.
ALL the major networks ended up using it, and that is what made GI the
de facto standard, and is why they were UNsuccessfully sued as a
monopoly. Uplink encoding is used by any content provider, and they must
use GI gear because that is what all the birds use. So they ARE a
monopoly, by default, but it is not their fault all the networks went
with their gear.
VC-II was a very scaled down version done for
HBO in the early '80s.
VC-I was in use in 1983 and from then on.
It was retired on the last day of last year, 2008.
VC-II (1985)"was done for" satellite receivers, uplink encoders and
decoders, and backhaul work, not just for HBO. It was retired in 1993 as
piracy had to be nipped out of the system. That was VC-II RS and that is
where the false keys and rolling keys and such came from. Then came
DigiCipher and DigiCipher II.
I installed one of the first VC-II units for
beta testing for HBO at United Video in Cincinnati, Ohio. That would
make it 25 years.
It appears that you understand basic math.
VC-II was hardware items for cable system operators, sure, but it was
ALSO hardware items for use in end user satellite set-top boxes, which
have nothing to do with cable.
In the post you're replying to.
What would it cost to make a scaled-down TOW missile?Jim Thompson <To-Email-Use-The-Envelope-Icon@My-Web-Site.com/Snicker> wrote

Spike is "fire and forget",so it locks on the target's image.
Easier to aim.
but 5 grand a shot,though....
unless you can engineer a really low cost seeker.
I may build a model rocket copy of Spike,I've got an unfinished airframe of
the right size.
Heh,cops would FREAK if they saw a missile on a launch rail on top of a
car! Maybe put a red LED in the nose,people would think it's a seeker...
