Last week, Battleland bemoaned the increasing difficulty finding cost-per-flight-hour data for U.S. military aircraft.
In a flash, longtime defense watcher – from a perch on Capitol Hill, as well as a stint at the Government Accountability Office – Winslow Wheeler piped up to say he recently sought, and got, such data from the Air Force comptroller’s office.
He adds that he has tried to get similar data from the Navy, without luck. What’s up with that, Admiral Kirby?
The Air Force provided Wheeler with cost-per-flight-hour for dozens of aircraft.
Here’s a sample of what it costs to keep these Air Force aircraft airborne for one hour last year (the so-called “ownership” cost-per-flight-hour, which includes modifications):

The Difference Between LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Home Edition (#31313) and LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 (#45544)

http://robotsquare.com/2013/11/25/difference-between-ev3-home-edition-and-education-ev3/ This article covers the difference between the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Home Edition and LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 products. Other articles in the ‘difference between’ series: * The difference and compatibility between EV3 and NXT ( link ) * The difference between NXT Home Edition and NXT Education products ( link ) One robotics platform, two targets The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotics platform has been developed for two different target audiences. We have home users (children and hobbyists) and educational users (students and teachers). LEGO has designed a base set for each group, as well as several add on sets. There isn’t a clear line between home users and educational users, though. It’s fine to use the Education set at home, and it’s fine to use the Home Edition set at school. This article aims to clarify the differences between the two product lines so you can decide which

Building a portable GSM BTS using the Nuand bladeRF, Raspberry Pi and YateBTS (The Definitive and Step by Step Guide)

https://blog.strcpy.info/2016/04/21/building-a-portable-gsm-bts-using-bladerf-raspberry-and-yatebts-the-definitive-guide/ Building a portable GSM BTS using the Nuand bladeRF, Raspberry Pi and YateBTS (The Definitive and Step by Step Guide) I was always amazed when I read articles published by some hackers related to GSM technology. H owever , playing with GSM technologies was not cheap until the arrival of Software Defined Radios (SDRs), besides not being something easy to be implemented. A fter reading various articles related to GSM BTS, I noticed that there were a lot of inconsistent and or incomplete information related to the topic. From this, I decided to write this article, detailing and describing step by step the building process of a portable and operational GSM BTS. Before starting with the “hands on”, I would like to thank all the pioneering Hackers and Researchers who started the studies related to previously closed GSM technology. In particul
