Portable nuclear technology is the tool. That offers new energy solutions for new types of systems. The problem is that the military. And other types of infrastructure. Require lots of energy.
New AI-based systems. Like adapting camouflage. And especially drones are problematic things. The AI requires lots of energy, and in the same way. Defense against drone swarms requires directed energy weapons. Those directed energy weapons require electricity. The Shahed-136-type drones can give. All platforms have an attack range of about 1000 kilometers.
The small drone with a hollow warhead. It can cause lethal damage. If. It hits the nuclear submarines. Small nuclear systems. Can offer new types of abilities to small systems. Plutonium batteries offer a small drone. It uses an electric engine and a propeller. Unlimited. Operational range. Those drones can be airborne, underwater unmanned vehicles (UUV), and surface drones.
A portable nuclear reactor fits in a truck. “'ZEUS' NANO Nuclear Energy's Portable and On-Demand Advanced Nuclear Micro Reactor Design”(Yahoo.com)
Portable, or miniature nuclear reactors. It can give a new capacity. To a small submarine. Like the Swedish A26 (The Blekinge) class. The Swedish A26 is a silent diesel-electric submarine that uses air-independent diesel-electric engines. Those submarines are shown to be effective when they could damage or even destroy the U.S fleet carrier during a naval drill. That submarine can be even more effective. If. It can have nuclear engine ability.
That so-called micro reactors can offer. Micro-sized nuclear reactors. Are planned. To use as a portable energy solution for military operations and anti-drone systems. But they can also give. New abilities in all types of logistics. From trucks and other vehicles. Those systems can offer aircraft and ships almost unlimited operational range. Small-sized systems. That offers electricity. And heat to limited areas. Can make the networked energy solutions possible also in civil infrastructure.
