Hoverwatch the Phone Tracker

Comprehensive solutions are a necessity when it comes to monitoring of activities on mobile phones. People require a service which is invisible to some extent and is competent in tracking everything which is inclusive of incoming calls, SIM card changes and even location. Fortunately, supply is a function of demand with regard to my Hoverwatch review. I will cover each and every feature that constitutes one of the leading phone tracking services and assess if the service is able to meet the major requirements of even some of the most demanding clients.

Description and use

The Hoverwatch can be described as the ultimate cell phone spy in the year 2017. It allows its users to record each and every activity that happens on any smartphone that runs on the android operating system. While there are a few people that might consider cell phone spying to be unethical, there exists a good number of very legal reasons as to why this kind of service is required.

The spy app has a number of functions. However, it is usually recommended for the following applications:

1) It is recommended for parents who are concerned that their children might access pornography, get contacted by strangers or visit inappropriate site. This can either be through social media platforms or via phone.

2) Business owners who are keen on controlling the manner by which their workers (employees) are utilizing the company phones.

3) It is also highly recommended for individuals who fear that their phones might get stolen.

All the above applications are possible and does not require much input. This is because one only needs to set up a Hoverwatch account and to access the device that they are interested in tracking.

Important features

This amazing cell phone spy service offers clients all the important features that may be of some assistance to them. However, reviewing all of them will take some time and that is why only the critical ones will be reviewed. Individuals who are interested in learning more or viewing all the features associated with the phone spy service can easily do so by visiting their official website. There is even a demo app available for viewing on the official website.

Unlike the other apps currently available in the market that are specialized in either social media tracking or just call recoding, Hoverwatch spy app offers its consumers a comprehensive package of features. The following are some of the most interesting features:

• The phone spy service provides consumers with a full access to a convenient dashboard that allows them to edit the tracking settings as well as to view the activity log.

• The phone spy service allows users to track phone location. This enables one to know the geographical location of the phone at all times. It is able to detect any SIM card changes, this is a protective feature against theft. It also allows parents/ employers to know where their children/employees spend most of their time.

• The service is able to accurately track phone calls and even record them. This feature can be useful to parents as it allows them to know just who calls their children.

• This spy app service is capable of tracking WhatsApp Calls and shared files, SMS as well as Facebook messages. This is good because Facebook and Whatsapp happen to be the most popular apps used for social media.

• The app can also track the browsing history. This helps parents to know if their kids are visiting adult sites and helps employers to know if their employees are being productive or not.

Conclusion

Hoverwatch is a unique phone tracker that operates on stealth mode but is highly effective.

The Queen is NOT Dead – Long Live the Queen

Opinions that the main battle tank (MBT) has had its day as the queen of the battlefield have been voiced for decades. Yet the world’s armed forces still bristle with ‘steel beasts,’ albeit perhaps not in the volumes seen at the height of the Cold War. Whilst procurement of new MBTs is slower than in the species’ heyday, upgrade and enhancement programmes abound in every corner of the globe.

Companies like Rheinmetall have poured significant efforts into developing these upgrade offers and are reaping the benefits in the form of contract awards on several continents. Although all three of the elements of the ‘magic triangle’ hierarchy of needs – protection, mobility and firepower – have been taken into consideration, the last of these remains foremost in the minds of many operators. The imperative for increased lethality in the face of ever increasing threats has exercised the best technical and engineering minds at Rheinmetall. And the result has been a series of developments that hold great promise for the continued longevity of the MBT as a powerful, vital and flexible sovereign of the future battlespace.

Programme Manager for all 120mm armament and ammunition programmes at Rheinmetall, Dirk Gerthenrich, told an audience in Berlin on 7 October that crises such as Ukraine and Syria have fuelled a willingness among the company’s customers to re-evaluate the effective4ness of their MBT fleets and to supplement rather than replace MBTs with medium weight weapon systems with similar firepower. “There is also increasing concern about the effectiveness of large calibre ammunition against modern protection such as that on the T-14 Armata introduced in 2015 – and that is prompting consideration of an improved KE round such as the DM73,” he said.

He believes there is strong evidence to support the fact that only two calibres will survive beyond the next few years as far as MBT main armament is concerned: 120mm smoothbore for ‘Western’ designs and 125mm smoothbore as the Russian and former Warsaw Pact nations standard. Despite this, there is still interest in the L51 130mm future main armament Rheinmetall unveiled last year – the advantages of an increased chamber volume and chamber pressures up to 880MPs offer an improvement in performance that is just too good to turn down.

Customers, however, need to become more savvy in order to derive optimal benefit from investment in improving anti-armour performance, according to Gerthenrich. “There are some customers who still demand performance evaluation based on the ability to penetrate RHA (Rolled Homogenous Armour), despite the fact there is not a current generation MBT out there that still depends on an RHA protection solution. Such tests are expensive and time consuming – and are now of very questionable value,” he said.

Rheinmetall’s current 120mm smoothbore range consists of three models: the L/44, the L/47LR (Low Recoil) and the L/55 – which he characterises as “the normal one, the smooth one and the quicker one” respectively. The first and the last of have under feasibility studies examining the development of an ‘A1’ version of each, featuring higher gas pressures capable of getting maximum utility from new performance-enhanced kinetic energy rounds. Further development will have to be customer financed, the company has decided, but Gerthenrich revealed that “the pilot customer for the L55A1 is going to be the German Army.”

In addition to KE munitions, he points to a trend towards ‘multi-purpose’ secondary ammunitions (HE MP) as being a ‘one size fits all’ solution to the increasing range of targets faced by MBTs in the broader range of operational scenarios now common to most armed forces: deployed troops, missile positions, light/medium armoured vehicles, infrastructure, field fortifications – even helicopters.
Rheinmetall’s proposed solutions address the continuing viability of the MBT’s future as a vital component of a wide range of responses to operational requirements. Rumours of the Queen’s death, it would seem, have been grossly exaggerated!

AUSA 2016: Curtiss-Wright Shows Rugged PSU3-THOR Power Supply

Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division at booth #319 introduced the company's first 3Uembedded power supply that also delivers system I/O expansion without increasing slot count.

The rugged PSU3-THOR power supply combines dual XMC mezzanine slot expansion and a 6-port PCI Express (PCIe) Gen2 switch all in a single 3U VPX slot unit. It enables system designers to provide 285 or 485 watts of power to support today’s demanding deployed applications while simultaneously reducing their 3U VPX system’s size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) envelope. The PSU3-THOR’s built-in 24-lane 6-port PCIe switch provides the backplane interface for its dual XMC sites while eliminating the need for a separate XMC carrier or switch card. The power supply’s PCIe switch also provides up to four extra x4 PCIe ports, significantly expanding overall system I/O. The PSU3-THOR power supply is ideal for use in today’s latest generation of high performance small form factor 3U based embedded systems. It also provides a compelling solution for expanding the capabilities of legacy 3U systems through technology refresh.

“Many of our customers face the daunting challenge of reducing the size of their embedded subsystems while deploying more power and I/O hungry processing performance,” said Lynn Bamford, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Defense Solutions division. “Over the last 5 years, we have seen average system size requirements decrease by up to 40%, while the power required for the latest technology has increased over 50%. That’s what makes our new PSU-THOR power supply a breakthrough for system integrators. It’s the industry’s first 3U form factor power supply to deliver XMC card expansion and a 6-port PCIe Gen2 switch all in a single compact unit.”

AUSA 2016: Airborne Systems’ Releases Hi-5 Parachute

Airborne  Systems  North  America  presents the Hi-5 as the latest  addition  to  their  line  of  High  Performance  Ram  Air  Parachutes.  The  Hi-5 demonstrates  exceptional ram  air  glide  performance  while  allowing  glide modulation  to  descend  quickly  and  land  accurately. 

The  Hi-5  has  a  remarkable  5.5:1  glide  ratio  and can  transition  to  a  1:1  glide  ratio  with  a simple  control  input  using  the  Glide  Modulation  System. Unlike  other  methods  of  angle control,  such  as  front  riser  trim  tabs, Airborne  Systems  Glide Modulation  System  does  not  increase  the  total speed  of the  canopy, providing  a  safe  transition  at  any altitude.   This  eliminates  the  need  for  multiple  spirals  or S-turns  at  low  altitude,  and  allows  for extremely  accurate  landings  using  safe  straight-in  approaches.  The  jumper  is  in  total control  of  where they  are  and  when they  arrive  on  target. In  addition  to  the  leap forward  in glide  ratio  technology, the  Hi-5 is  also  easy  to  maintain  and  handle for a jumper,  and  very  intuitive  to  pack  for  a rigger.  The  Hi-5  bridges  the  gap  between  the Intruder/RA-1 (shown below at AUSA 2016) and  our Hi-Glide  parachutes,  providing  a  wing  with a high  glide,  accurate  landings, and the ability to descend into tight areas safely.

AUSA 2016: Lockheed Martin Receives Contract for APACHE Sensor Upgrades

The US Army awarded Lockheed Martin a $49.3 million contract to upgrade the Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor (M-TADS/PNVS) on the AH-64E APACHE helicopter.

Under this contract, Lockheed Martin will produce an additional 42 Modernized Day Sensor Assembly (M-DSA) upgrade kits and spares for the US Army as part of Lot 1 production. Production will take place at Lockheed Martin’s facilities in Orlando and Ocala, Florida, through March 2019.

“M-DSA gives APACHE aircrews the ability to more rapidly identify targets and coordinate with troops on the ground, which improves mission success,” said Tom Eldredge, director of M-TADS/PNVS production programs at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “M-DSA’s modular design reduces operation and support costs, and will be supported by our award-winning Performance-Based Logistics sustainment programme.”

With M-DSA upgrades, pilots can identify targets at farther distances through an additional field of view and extended range picture-in-picture capability. They also now have the ability to view high-resolution, near-infrared and color imagery on cockpit displays. M-DSA also provides a new laser pointer marker that improves coordination with ground troops, and an updated multi-mode laser with eye-safe lasing capability that supports flight in urban environments and home-station training.

M-TADS/PNVS provides APACHE helicopter pilots with long-range, precision engagement and pilotage capabilities for mission success and flight safety during day and night and in adverse weather conditions. Lockheed Martin has delivered more than 1,350 M-TADS/PNVS systems to the US Army and 15 countries.
