UAVs and MAVs; How Small Can They Bee?

Can you imagine a UAV or unmanned aerial vehicle as small as an insect or Bee? It appears that the future there will be micro-air vehicles the size of insects, which will help our soldiers in the battle space. Imagine 1000 little micro-mechanical insect size flying MAV’s attacking each soldier of your enemy.

Obviously at that point your enemy will not be able to fight you, as they will be too busy fighting off all the micro-mechanical insects. Indeed as much as this sounds like science fiction this is the world we’re headed for in the new paradigm of the future battlespace. Perhaps not in this decade or the next, but within thirty years you will see micro-mechanical man-made insects swarming the enemy on the battlefield.

Now then, the question is how do you fight such an enemy that is so tiny if it comes after you? We will need to develop ways to fight off little tiny micro-mechanical MAVs of our enemy since they will go after our troops. Otherwise they will be rendered useless and unable to fight the enemy and therefore lose the battle or be defeated before they have a chance to actually engaged the enemy. How Small will these micro-mechanical insects become? Well, prototypes have already been designed to fly around under their own autonomous control that are the size of a bee. Consider all this in 2006.

How to Prevent Vandalism in Inner City High School Classrooms

No matter what the setting is students are students and if given the opportunity they will get into mischief or worse. As the classroom teacher it is your responsibility to maintain order and be a model of good citizenship to your students. If you ever at any moment let the students think that they can have a hand over you the classroom will be in jeopardy. This is because like a tear in a piece of paper or crack in your finger nail it is sure to grow.

From the first day of class be sure to make a seating chart and stick to it. Do not permit the students to move around as they please. If you are kind but firm with the students at the start you will have smooth sailing the rest of the year.

At each work station or desk place a number and inform the class that the assigned seating is in reference to that number. Further, they are responsible for that station. It is important to inform the students that the moment that they come in and see anything wrong with their work station to in for you. If they wait 10 or 20 minutes then that person will be held accountable. This is because enough time has elapsed for the student currently at the seat to have done the damage.

You will find that this method is very successful and students will come to you. The students want a clean space and respect as well and they know that you will amend the situation for them. This is because you told them the day class started your policy on classroom management. It would be exceedingly foolish to let the students get away with anything. You must be loving but be on alert.

I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago in Hyde Park Township, near the University of Chicago. As I child I was always drawing and painting. My father owned an art supply company, Favor Ruhl & Watson, where I was able to get all that I needed to progress in my work.

I have always enjoyed portraiture and landscape painting. In High School (Naperville Central High School) I took Drafting from Mr. Pierce. I quickly grasped the principles of perspective and drafting and hence made a career with both Fine Art and Architectural Renderings.

In the mid 1970’s I joined the US Navy and was stationed on board the USS Midway, CV-41. The Midway was home ported in Yokosuka, Japan (A suburb of Tokyo). While in service I traveled all over Asia including such countries as Korea, China, Philippines, Singapore, Pakistan, Hong Kong, and Japan. While in Japan I learned Japanese. I speak German and Spanish as well.

I am an omnivorous reader with a love of History and Philosophy. I admire the works of Immanuel Kant, Albert Schweitzer, and Fredrich Nietzsche. In music I admire the wo
