For those of us who underate the country, Nigeria does have drones (but they are mainly in the ND) and even robot boats like the SeaStar USV below guarding our waters (there is no human on that boat).

hotwax: We are talking about purpose and suitability.

For combat and mobile terrorist drone is the answer.

Satelite has missions too. There are military satelite, communication satelites, geography/environment/climate monitoring satellite.

You cannot use a communication satelite for military. The last time I checked, Nigeria has no Military satelite but climate and communication.

As drone is purpose/mission specific so also satelites.

We do not have drones with such capabilities, but we have satellites.
Like that BBC link mentioned, Nigeria is one of only a few countries with top grade satellite capabilities. NigerSat-2 is military grade, it can take much better pics than those provided on this thread (you will not likely ever find them either, cos that has to be classified info).
NigerSat-2 can be put to use for any purpose that requires high res pics / surveilance - from weather forcasting to battlefield.

[quote author=United_abby]ódé!i wonder why i'm talking with a nitwit and a withered jundist sun-burnt testicle like you.why not shut that shit hole with which you mutter balloney and go get a life?[/quote]Pathetic.

Gbawe: Cheap ashewo, since you never learn, I will keep embarrasing you. How many times did you mention and focus on Gbawe on this thread to be ranting incoherently in ways that leaves no one in doubt you are obsessed with Gbawe ?

Clearly you are behaving like a rejected LovePeddler with how you have now made stalking others your only conduct on nairaland these days. You are only making a fool of yourself. Look at all the crap you wrote below on this thread I kept ignoring like someone covering his nose to avoid a rancid odour? Get a life Ashewo and stop derailing threads over your obsession with others who don't give a toss about you. Take your silly feelings of rejection elsewhere abeg.

Lol! Should I count how many times you've mentioned Beaf here and on other threads?
O-Lie to me bro!

hotwax: Total cost of a drone plus service cost per year if operational round year= US$4.5 million
Total cost hurricane-watch satellite mission cost =$290 million

Have you factored in the profits for renting out satellite services? That is always enough to buy another bunch of satellites; unlike drones, it is a profit making venture.

Lying! Lying!! Lying!!!
A "skill" that is thankfully uncommon.

oyb: the only haters of nigeria are the likes of you, spokesmen for their stomachs, for mediocrity, for empty promises and long meaningless speeches , incompetence and whining.

THERE IS NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER POSTED THAT HAS COME TO PASS

it has always been govt to . . .

and nothing has ever come out of it

One day, you will burst with hatred and stup!dity, cos that is all you are known for.
By the way, have you given some thought to the proposal for your place as a veterinary research subject? It will help you, bro. You can't be this stup!d and walking free. There will be donkeys, monkeys, baboons, vultures... All kinda daft animals to keep you company.

No be small tin o!

hotwax: The cheapest satelite cost 6billion dollars. The cheapest predator SR32 costs $100,000.

Do the math urself.

I don't know where you got your 6billion dollar price tag from, but its false. Aside from that, your calculation based on cost price alone is simplistic and faulty.
You have to take in the full gamut of cost price, running costs and profits (yes, satellites make a profit).

Gbawe: Why don't you stop following others around childishly? Take your obsession and stalking elsewhere. This is the trend for you now and the entire forum can see it. You ignore threads but literally post seconds after any submission from Gbawe. You don't know how sad and pathetic that makes you look with the obvious implication your are literally sitting around waiting for Gbawe to talk like a rejected LovePeddler stalking others obsessively.

You mentioned me in your post, yet I'm following you?
Wonders!

O-Lie to me, bro. Its what you are known for.

hotwax: Drone is cheaper, effective and instant.

Interactive with drone is real-time.

Drone can launch a missile.

Drone can chase.

However both Satelites and Drone can be hijacked electronically.

Drones are cheaper enh? How did you do that math?
Do you think satellites need fuel to propel themselves? Do you think they need engineers to service them up in space? Do you realise how long they last? etc etc

oyb: we will be happy to see boko haram on the way out,

sadly we know your dunce will only give us speeches and empty promises, much like you

Don't be ashamed of your stance as a hater of Nigeria, dunces tend to lack shame.
All you have ever done is bounce around in glee each time a bomb has gone off, cos you are a self-hating dunce. A wretch who sees no worth in his own country.

Scarab.

Beaf, Beaf, Beaf...
Yet all you do is tell lies all over the place and get caught over and over. Our daddy, as old as you are?!

This is the Gbawe I know, a winsh propagating and in the hunt for bad news:

Gbawe:
keep watching buddy. We will see who has overestimated their touted strenght within a Nigeria where [size=14pt]the stomach, and not enduring principles, is king[b] today[/b]. Boko Haram has been butchering Nigerians from all walks of life so far. What has been the reaction of those who vacuously make noise about their 'powermen' strenght on the net?[/size] Where was the immediate burning of Mosques after the Christmas attack to indicate a readiness for t.i.t-for-tat and we-wont-take-it-lying-down people like you tout?

[size=14pt]Right now, the "owners of Nigeria" will do and undo , plus give the lead, while all Nigeria will follow as is the case so far !!! Many of you don't seem to understand that events on the ground has overtaken the history you so much hold on to and assume other share feverishly , as dogmatic mantra, with you.[/size]

this is where you got your nigersat pic from, not so?

or do you think you can hide from the link?

you think you can pretend to be smart by posting gifs and loling like a happy drunk?

My broda, where is your brain? Is it near your arse or actually in your arse?
You are really stup!d and fit only for use as a vetenery research subject. It isn't humanly possible to be as daft as you, bro.

It is the latest technology in tows. Mr dumbassssss

The news is old enh? And of cause, terrorists have grown too small to be photographed from space too.
What an acrobatic display of buffoonery!

I de hail ooooooooo!!!

oyb: asaba japan, why you no post the entire artice

see cretin


sadly, this is the sort of brain in the gej administartion. an empty head that spams us with empty grammer aimed at deceiving the simpletons who voted gej not pdp

What a clown! You should really be used for vetenery research! Lol!
While, I posted high res pics from NigeriaSat-2, you are banging on like the id!ot you are about NigeriaSat-X. Do you know the vast difference in capability between both platforms? You don't even know the basics of what you are talking about, but like the loud fool you are, you want to expose the fact that you are an id!ot for the Worlds consumption.

How can anyone argue with an anus like you?

All hail fools!

Nematode.

oyb: and there we have it

only dunces like beaf will try to equate cutting edge classified technology with garden variety satellites which his fellow dunces in arms are touting as intelligence tools

intelligence is indeed lacking in the crybaby goodunce administration and its army of eediots

are we equating the highly professional and motivated specail ops command with the highly over fed and diarrhea mouthed special speech command of the gej administration?

You areso stup!d, but its no suprise, cos you were born that way. You first came on the day namedropping and farting through your mouth, now you are talking about the bolded. Lol! Thats how we identify losers, winshes and those who claim satellites only operate radio waves.

What a complete fool and self-hater. So, the fact that Nigeria is one of the few countries in the World with such high tech capability is painful to you? Na wa!

You might hate yourself, but the country will continue to progress regardless.

hotwax: Now let me clue you in satelite man.

There is what we call Predator drones. They do the dirty work of satelite more efficient.

They carry radio waves to Intelligence gathering stations.
They have supersonic camera.
They disect GPS data
They are armed with intelligent guided missiles.
They are stealth

You are too low and worthy of arguign with. U just argue for the sake of argument.

Grow up satelite man

You are a proven dunce, bro.

Mumu, here is your trophy as the Grand Mumu 1 of NL!
Recieve it with pride and honour! Ode!

[size=14pt]U.S. Special Ops Building Satellites to Track Terrorists Everywhere[/size]
The raid on Osama bin Laden's compound this month highlighted special forces' focus on finding high-value targets. Their hunt extends into space, too. An official with U.S. Special Operations Command has confirmed that his organization is testing tiny satellites that could keep tabs on targets from above.
By Sharon Weinberger

Montana State University/NASA
May 18, 2011 5:00 PM

An official with Special Ops revealed Wednesday that the U.S. recently launched mini-satellites that could clandestinely track high-value targets, like al-Qaida terrorists. "We sent up four satellites to demonstrate passing TTL [tagging, tracking, locating] data," Doug Richardson, a civilian official at U.S. Special Operations Command, told an audience on Wednesday, referring to a December launch of a SpaceX rocket carrying the CubeSats—inexpensive satellites so small they can fit in the palm of your hand, and which have been used for scientific missions for a number of years.

Richardson, an official working in the Special Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Exploitation program in Special Ops Command, is responsible for several programs designed to help locate high-value targets using covert tracking tags: Hostile Force Tagging, Tracking and Locating, and Clandestine Tagging, Tracking and Locating. Unlike regular Tagging, Tracking and Locating technology­—which is used to keep track of friendly forces—these programs are designed specifically to track down enemies and combatants, and thus employ covert tags.

These tracking satellites are part of the growing Special Operations focus on "high-value target" missions, best exemplified by the raid earlier this month that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Richardson presented his office's work in a packed, standing-room-only auditorium at the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference in Tampa. The satellites may solve a fundamental dilemma of using tracking tags on enemies: how to follow them once they are in place, particularly in parts of the world like Afghanistan, where having a satellite in place to capture a signal can be a challenge. Presently, Special Ops commanders can't just take over an entire military satellite to keep over a moving target. With a small and inexpensive CubeSat, they could.

Citing the sensitivity and classification of the topic, Richardson declined to go into detail on the specific types of sensors U.S. forces are developing and deploying. However, several methods are already on the market—some simple, and some strange. A number of companies have openly advertised covert tags using technology such as radio frequency identification devices, and also more elaborate technologies, such as quantum dots that could be used to track a singe molecule. Scientists have also proposed more exotic tagging measures such as insect pheromones.

"The thing worked," was about all Richardson would say about the specifics of the Special Forces' sats, but he added that there are plans to move forward and improve the system. That doesn't mean, though, that these satellites are already being used. "The [system] I sent was just to test the theory that we could do it," Richardson told PM.

hotwax: My point is.

When you are tracking unknown target like Alqaiada/boko haram, you use drone. America use drone, because AMerica does not have enough record/information of these people. No central database in Iraq/Pakistan. That is why they operate drone to track them.

If you have a central Dbase of your citizen like US home land, you can track your citizen with Satelite.

Man dont argue blindly. You are a Nigerian. You know Nigerian government has no record/information of its citizen. Stop pretending as if you are in the USA.

This is Nigeria.

Argument or bashing aside. The fact is "We dont know who these boko harams are"

The fulanis that kill people in Jos. Does the FG knows them ?

They hide in bush and migrate hapharzrdly without a pattern. They are similar to alqaida/alqanis.

I know you are knowledgeable, but u just dont listen

Listen man.

Stop being silly, you are doing yourself no good.
Satellites are regularly used to track and kill terrorists across the World. Please get an education and stop talking tonnes of bullshiit.
First it was that satellites could only operate radio waves, now it is the daftest arguments about the US needing a database to track its citizens. Dude, pardon me, but you sound really really are daft. Is it from constant practice?

There is a vast array of ways outside photographs for satellites to track you (and none involves "radio waves" ). Ok?
If you like, go join boko haram. There are eyes in the sky that will be used in the near future to ferret you out.

Lol! You are a grass eating fool in the category of alj harem. Not worth my time, you should be arguing with baboons who might have a thing or two to teach you.

A first picture should be released from NigeriaSat-2 in the coming days. This is a much more powerful platform, able to resolve details on the Earth's surface just 2.5m across.

Few countries in the world have access to such a capability.

hotwax: Master dumbeee!

This is a public website. Stop portraying Nigerians as retarded here.

Stop posting area photo of towns here. We are talking about tracking. U are post photos.

http://www.spacedaily.com/news/gps-99a.html

Google drone, and see what is used for.

U are even a disgrace to all retardeeeen

Is a drone a satellite or whats your point?

Unu go take laf kill baby antelope o!

What a dunce! Lol!

You are only here on public display as a fool. Maybe the pics were taken with radio waves if we are to go with your IQ level. Next time, shut the phuck up when you don't have a clue, instead of looking incredibly foolish.

They will never listen. Man, If you prove stubborn to learn, then shove ur incomplete knowlegde in ur asssss and lets breath.

What has taking a satelite view of a town got to do with tracking an object ?

You keep saying the word "Fool Fool fool". It says much about you. You are not just a fool. But a hardened one.

Lol! I have posted a pic taken by our satellite. Its visual proof sir, not not pack of lies and bullshiit about "radio waves. GPS, cordinate data of an object."

I'm sure its hard to be a dunce, so I wonder how you cope!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14679166

Dunce.

How did the policeman acquire 2m?

hotwax: I think you need a tutorial.

Americans used drones to track terrorist in the middle east. Drones carries Camera. Drones provide a view and target for military.
Drone can chase/track a single target.

Satellites carries radio waves. GPS, cordinate data of an object.
It is a target you identified that you can track with a satellite. If you dont have the data of whom u are to track, then satelite is not the option.

Listen and stop arguing igno man.

E.g Nigerian streets and roads has no standard numbering system. This will be difficult for satelite to digest.
Oh boy. I no vex with you again. Its just that you need tutorials. You can google how satelites works.

Nigerian Government can use drones. But satelite is a joke.

Shut the phuck up dunce.
When you have made yourself look a fool, the best thing is to withdraw and stop making a bigger fool of yourself.

Only a fool would think that satellite tracking requires a database. Only a fool would argue that drones carry camera's while satellites don't.
The image below is a pic of Aukland (New Zealand) taken by a Nigerian satellite, they have a high enough resolution to track cars with close up shots.

Dude, you are stup!d.

I cant argue with an Ignoramus! A secondary school student even knows this.

The subject has nothing to do with IT, but [b]IQ. Read up at least before contributing.
When the US tracks terrorists in the Middle East, is it done with a database? When you take pictures, does your video (or still) camera need a database?

Unido is telling you right there who they bought the patent from and that they transferred the patent rights to NASENI (to cover the entire Africa).
