So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Significance Of Unmanned Surface Vessel

By Olivia Cross


Developments in the technological world have played a major role in improvements of the monitoring systems. There has been to collect important data in the oceans for the purpose of analysis and research but there are high risks associated with these waters. However this has been solved by the development of unmanned surface vessel which have the ability to move long distances in the sea and gather the required data.

They are designed differently which makes them appropriate to be used in the tough oceanic conditions and withstand wave attacks. They are made from light materials which increase their ability to float and shaped in such a way that reduces the friction felt as it sail thus consuming less energy. Advanced mechanisms employed to transform and use tides and solar into energy for propelling have also been used.

Complex technology is employed in making these boats. Automatic remote control systems have been developed which have enabled their operation with no human on board which has also enabled easy operation. They are equipped with systems that enable capturing of the wanted data very easily. Location sensing devices are fixed as well so they can be used to send signals from the boat thus making it easy to locate it while in the ocean.

Control centers have been established. This is where all operations concerning their working are managed. A team of high skilled technicians and engineers are involved in writing different programs and operating systems and their commands. It is also from this unit that the boats are run from and all the information collected is sent here for analysis and recording for storage.

The vessels have been greatly used by the defense forces in safeguarding the international border lines especially on the waters. In the earlier years border patrols which involved sending navy officers using large boats were very risky due to the hazardous sea waves. The development and use of these boats has led to proper surveillance thus making the country safer.

It has become possible to collect necessary information regarding the sea weather and the strength of the ways and tides. This information has been useful especially by ship captains who can easily navigate the ship and know which areas to avoid. These have brought about significant reduction in the marine tragedies related to bad harsh sea weather.

Regrettably, some terrorists have been able to harness this technology which they are using secretly investigate the security measures employed by target nations. This has opened routes for them getting into the country illegally and they can easily carry out their destructive attacks.

Numerous shortcomings have been downsized the level of results expected. Some vessels easily develop technical problems while on their operations. There is also a problem of bad network which may result to total disappearance of these boats and they cannot be traced. The waves may result to the sinking of the vessels.
