🏹 Green Berets Hijacked WiFi To Control Home Security System Then Vanish In Mock Raid

U.S. Army Green Berets covertly breaching a WiFi network to disable a building’s security systems so their companions can sneak inside, complete their mission, and leave after using electronic warfare gear to conceal they were ever there sounds like the opening scene to a Mission Impossible movie or Call of Duty video game. Very real Army Special Forces soldiers executed this exact scenario during a training exercise in Sweden earlier this year. This is another example of specialized intelligence-gathering capabilities that are getting new attention as America’s special operations community shifts focus away from counter-terrorism missions to preparing for high-end fights.

“During the exercise, [one]… ODA team identified a target building and used a remote access device (RAD) to identify the networks coming from the facility. They were able to crack the WiFi password, enumerate the network, and run exploits on the target computer inside the building,” according to an official Army news item. “This enabled the team to manipulate security cameras, door locks, and other security systems in the building.”

“While one team was in charge of manipulating the building through cyber disruption, a second ODA team conducted an infiltration operation on the facility,” the Army news story adds. “They conducted a military free fall (MFF) jump and marched seven miles to access the building, which they were able to enter easily due to the cyber disruption. From there they placed signal jamming equipment to clear any trace of the attack and exited the premises.”

🇯🇵☢️ Nuclear energy race: Japan to launch world’s first steady-state fusion reactor

The reactor is anticipated to have an initial power generation capacity ranging from 50 to 100 megawatts.

Commercial helical fusion reactor development for base load electric power

“We intend to have the world’s very first steady-state combination reactor up and creating electrical power within the next 10 years,” Helical Blend CEO Takaya Taguchi told Reuters.

The small-output fusion reactor has potential applications as a localized power source for factories like aluminum or titanium smelters, remote islands, or large ships.

The construction cost of the first-of-its-kind (FOAK) power plant is estimated to be around USD 5 billion. After more than one year of continuous operation, maintenance could be completed within three months to achieve a high availability rate of more than 80%.

The fusion reaction of hydrogen isotopes (like deuterium and tritium) using 1 gram (equivalent to 5 balloons) produces the same energy as burning 8 tons of oil (equivalent to 50 drums), according to Helical Fusion.
