Someone mentioned about privatization of Dicon. The trick is to sell enough stake that they will be concerned how the company is run but not enough for them to have actual power or influence. Somewhere about 40-45% should be enough.

its reported pakistan air force wanted to buy turkey targeting pods to mount them on their JF-17.Nigeria does need to acquire JF-17 jets to drop precision bombs.they could load GBU-12 on their Chengdu F-7 and laser designate targets using Super King Air ISR aircraft.the question now is,does the Super King Air ISR aircraft FLIR pod have the capability to designate target or they for ISR role only !?

Why don't u first target the service providers , install ur relevant support equipment's at the MSC or BSC and if required at the relevant BTS choke points .

Every BTS has a fixed coverage , so any call in or out of that BTS or any BTS in that region can be monitored and fixed from the MSC/BSC if relevant software/hardware r installed. Handheld COTS equipment's like GSM direction finders can be ported and provided to the ground troops who will feed the captured info to track the hostile very accurately. Or simply u can clone the sims in a jiffy with the gained info and hand them promptly to the ground troops .

Only requirement will be stationing of liaison personal at the MSC/BSC who will update and dessiminate the info as required

That what u can develop ur capabilities in a more sustainable way and implement them within the technology constraints at present.

This will build up ur experience and allow ur to identify ur technological shortcomings if any and also help u to identify the relevant technologies u need to develop in order to move to a much more capable mobile system.

I will always suggest a bottoms up approach for u when it comes to developing tech in-house, since I want u to succeed but the final decision is yours to take as u will know ur capabilities better rather than me or other's .

Whatever u do I wish u success

Go through these plus the previous links I gave it should give u more ideas

The old product below is from an Ind.. private company specializing in intelligence and surveillance . In fact they r one of the top companies in this field, not much is known about them their clients includes almost half the intelligence agencies plus corporates .

1 or 2 pages before the above link and around 5 or so page's after the above link should keep u more than interested

The relevant posts r scattered among these pages

the shilka was probably hit by 122mm shell by direct fire from the D-30 howitzer ,nigeria air force need to hunt that truck mounted D-30 howitzer and take it out

BruncleZuma:
With the polarity in our political affairs do you think they'll go for what's best for DICON?

nemesis4u:
Ur free to disagree but let me tell u this nobody can block anything completely especially those related to Internet , ask the Chinese

Blocking the services is useless it is to discourage the general public from accessing them , with very little effort u can bypass the state imposed controls.

How about using VPN or proxies eh?

BruncleZuma:
That's a splendid business idea until we arrive at National Security.

nemesis4u:
More or less , u might search for EW in the technical thread for additional info. There r other systems too but due to operational secrecy and compartmentalisation no info is given out .

U might get some clue with respect to some of these systems in the technical thread where I once posted around 20 such systems from Indi... private companies, odunayaw might remember about them he was pretty concerned about their misuse

How will u block VoIP ? It is simply a protocol where voice is converted to data thereby avoiding the regular cellular / telecom choackpoints . It is quite impossible to trace such calls forget about intercepting them
What if I tell u messaging apps like WhatsApp with additional encryption services will have everybody running in circles , would u believe me? That too from a simple handset.

Terrorists use them regularly in fact they combine them with military grade comms/tech provided by regular state / military sponsoring them . in fact it is a cat and mouse game , terrorists and their supporters keeping coming out with new military and civilian solution Everytime we break them.

Iterations of software is enough to ruin existing capabilities forget about hardware upgrade when that happens simply put ur on the back foot .

BruncleZuma:
Not a very good idea, profit before quality might become the other of the day look at every public institution that has been privatised of late.

BruncleZuma:
In addition to that a mobile phone running a Network Analyzer can even see the signals from the drone as these cheap ones use WiFi.

What does it take by now for DICON to be producing ammos such as different type grenades ranging to RPG rounds by now.

nemesis4u:
From where I come half of the tango's r located tracked identified and eliminated becz of utilization of such resources .

They r an integral asset for COIN
In fact we have what u can call as the world's first dedicated and operationally in use LIC (low intensity conflict) EW system.

I posted about them in the technical thread previously
A pic to highlight the capabilities ,this is not the end all system, many other different systems exists both on ground air and in space operated by multiple agencies

There was a time when calls made over VoIP gave us headache only the CIA and mossad had the capability to intercept them , with some help we managed to develop the necessary technology

on a crash site where a hardware worth million of dollars. the NAF should av provided the ground troops with ISR. ?

Stephandeswardt:
The shilka and the 73mm gun....which has more potential? A single sweep from the shilka would have done a lot....the troops didnt even manouver,they just left equipment, i think the crash site was bombed by our jets....


We dont arm our mraps with gpmgs again in the north east,we use HMGs..

They should have divided the bh...into sections, distrubted weapons and men so each section can engage the section carved out


Looking at BH body language....initially they were jittery, the lack of resistance emboldened them.

bidexiii:
Hmmnn.......?

A good mortar section.....

When BHT closed in on you less than 50 metres, flanked from different directions and AA rounds straying all around in the air.

Both good stories worth reading, they don't get told very often

MikeCZA:
Saw a screenshot of a Vickers MBT disabled by BH in one of the links you chaps shared. Came from this latest?

Just sad!!!

Stephandeswardt:
Boko that saw 2 fighter gets and still advanced? The truth is that we lost the battle because of the way the soldiers reacted!!!

Odunayaw:
Na wa o

Loro kan bayii -1 Mi-17

Odunayaw:
Taking into consideration I haven't watched the video and Jake says both parties were danger close High altitude kaboom would be a no no

Only CAS flyables could have gone low enough to reach out and swat those flies. The Hinds could have taken out the 76mm at least

bidexiii:
Wow , wow.................


The jf17s is not built only for acrobatic purpose only, it's a multirole fighter jet built to take out ground target.

It takes a dare devil pilot of a Mi24/35 to attack such gathering of enemies with AA guns attacking from different directions.

What we need here is a combination of a faster jet and precision guided muinition/bomb.

Odunayaw:
JF17s would have only been there for acrobatics in my opinion
In the video was there any response by Mi24/35?


altogether I think TRADOC isn't flexible at all. All these lessons we have learnt constantly from ECOMOG years to Boko Insurgency and what do we show for it? Repetitive mistakes on home soil? Dammit!

Hopefully they get the SF units to track the spoors of the boko people to trail them back to their enclaves and harass them

bidexiii:
If we get now, so what's delaying us . When we can get cheap jf17s or his it till our entire force is been wiped out.
