Andrew_K • Put a kill switch in every weapon… And turn them all off. A wiring diagram is a streamlined conventional photographic representation of an electric circuit. The fact is that you can put in any sort of “kill switches” you want into any sort of heavy military gear, but rest assured that it will not be 100% effective and once the “enemy” has discovered the existence of a kill switch, he’ll be fast to move on defeating it – especially if the gear is heavy enough. And this is why you don’t want “kill switches”. – some weapons are equiped with a Flight Termination System (FTS) during testing. Even IBM’s famed crypto co-processor had to be in a carefully controlled environment to prevent a false alarm deleting all the secrets. That is the policy. Such a design is well within the abilities of a second or third year undergraduate as a project… It’s lethality can be low, but like a lone sniper it’s fear factor can be totaly debilitating to division sized military units or entire villages, towns or cities (remember the Washington Sniper). Another problem is we want our soldiers to pick up someone else’s weapon if needed. An enemy or an talkative well meaning friend discovering one tiny error and then a weapon about to be used becomes so much useless slag and not just in the wrong hands.

A video on identifying and locating the upfitter switch wiring for some Ford Superduty pickups, not necessarily powerstroke. Among the many mysteries still surrounding that strike was the failure of a Syrian radar—supposedly state-of-the-art—to warn the Syrian military of the incoming assault.

A risky move, but it could pay off. Further, students are now doing “drone” type projects in universities using the guts of mobile phones and other cheap consumer electronics, with a little extra thought weaponising such designs would not be difficult. The only other offensive weapons where cost/value and peculiarities exist where PALs might be viable are Smart Weapons.

According to a U.S. defense contractor who spoke on condition of anonymity, a “European chip maker” recently built into its microprocessors a kill switch that could be accessed remotely. For my last Meteor from my southern F-35, I decide to switch to manual targeting and allow the Flanker to get closer to 50nm to put it at the heart of the Meteor's engagement envelope. The pilot would bail out of the aircraft as it got within sight of the target and the auto pilot would then fly it into the target detonating ten tonnes of explosives. them off if they see one about to be misused. Comparing military equipment to a kill switch on an iPhone? Putting in a potential hack vector is a greater risk than equipment being captured and used. To further add to the F-35s demise, drones are also perfect platforms for taking down aircraft from a distance. But a Tank for example, is so complex to start off with, the PAL is just a small component, like an anti-theft system on a modern car.

My ramblings as you so engagingly put it are about the weapons in current usage in active war zones. Most advanced encryption schemes rely on the difficulty that computers have in factoring numbers containing hundreds of digits; discovering a 512-bit type of encryption would take some machines up to 149 million years.
