The PELICAN-ORCON Project attempted to solve early problems with television & radar — both of which were easily defeated by electronic jamming devices. However, Burrus Skinner convinced the US Navy that birds had great potential as a jam-proof missile-guidance system.

 

Pigeons were trained to peck at an image of a target projected by a lens onto a screen in the missile’s nosecone — these signals then corrected missile’s flight-path. Pigeons produced excellent results & were reliable under stressful conditions including extremes in cold, vibration, acceleration, pressure, & noise.

Old TV show has been updated. Called Red October, document a training exercise between USN F/A-18 versus German MIG-29G.

Interesting when they mention how every mission is scripted, limiting what they do. Something I know but many people forget when referring to "HUD videos" of shut downs.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
