Spain probably remembered what happens when you don’t outbreed. You’d think Austria would’ve remembered too since the Hapsburgs were also called the House of Austria.

6·1 hour agoMost of the world has spectrum regulators for that sort of thing, it isn’t only a US thing. MPs aren’t really the people who would be investigating unless you live in some authoritarian regime where the police and federal regulatory bodies are commingled.
I could be wrong but I can’t think of an example where a military regulates spectrum in any meaningful way and a quick web search turns up nothing.
Let you switch lanes?
As they say in Rome, carpe viam. Don’t ask for permission, just start moving your car towards the other fuckers. They’ll move if they prefer not to have scratches on their car.
Oh also you’re gonna wanna drive a shitbox in case they decide to tank those scratches.

34·4 hours agoPossibly but you could just put any radio signal up for a decoy, you don’t need something this fancy. Radar is just radio waves. The fancy part is collimation of the beam and sensing of the return beam. That’s what costs money.

103·4 hours agoInterestingly enough, this project was originally licensed under the MIT license, but Motti was advised that said license does not protect physical hardware, so it changed to the CERN-OHL-PT license. Should you elect to build your own unit, be aware that the frequencies it operates in are almost assuredly highly regulated in your legal jurisdiction.
Also be aware of anti radiation munitions if you decide to operate one of these in a warzone. Radarmen have very short battlefield lifetimes because turning on a radar without lots of electronic countermeasures (hell even with countermeasures) is basically like turning on a spotlight that says “blow me up”.

You’d end up jamming yourself. You can’t really have radars or other strong electromagnetic warfare devices near each other since they tend to interfere and wash out each other’s signals.
As a decoy makes sense though since you can send them far away on a drone or something.
