Motion Control Survey For Surveillance and Security In An Asymmetrical Era

Many security and surveillance applications today have a requirement for Motion Control technology. Think about what it takes to move a camera , antenna or radar from side to side or up and down. Motion Control is playing an ever increasing role in situational awareness in today's asymmetrical era. Now is your big chance to not only get paid but also share your input in a key  survey. Please follow the below instructions.

L.E.K. Consulting is conducting a study on the motion control products market. We are testing a new product concept designed to help purchasers of motion control products dramatically improve sales and reduce costs. The survey will take approximately 20-25 minutes to complete and all responses will remain completely confidential.

All respondents who complete the survey will receive a $100 honorarium! If you are unable to accept an honorarium, we can donate this money to a charity of your choice. We will also provide you and your organization with high-level feedback from the survey!  My suggestion for donation is the Wounded Warrior Organization who do so much to help the true champions or the asymmetrical era.

We have recently changed our qualification criteria, so if you tried to take this survey in the past and could not, please try again!

Stars In My Crown

 

A traditional old time movie shows what the world was like when asymmetrical activity only happened in the animal world. What has gone wrong?

The Real China

Several years ago while in China for business I took a weekend and went to the Great Wall with by local Beijing Sales team. The two associates that acted as my host had done so many times but never with anyone as knowledgeable in Chinese history as me. While leaving one of the museums we noticed dozens of military trucks pulling up. The local PLA base uses the Great Wall as the location of their weekly graduation ceremony. This would of course be akin to a USMC  recruit class at Quantico going to the Washington 
Monument to graduate. About 1,000 young Chinese got out of the trucks along with their drill instructors and marched in formation to the top of the Great Wall. Right  behind them were their parents,boyfriends & girlfriends, (the graduating class was COED ) , "Don't Ask /Don't Tell Hasn't Reached the a PLA yet .  The drill instructors lined the unit up and went into a typical pitch. Having only several months before watched my son graduate from his USAF basic training made me realize that drill instructors were the same all over the world. ( At least in organized provisional state oriented military groups vs.  Jihad central). When the ceremony was over ---it strangely paralleled what I had seen a few months before with the top squad , top recruit ,etc. mentioned , the graduates embraced their family members and left to celebrate. As I looked at the feet of the graduates I noticed almost every ones pants had holes in the bottom and their dress shoes were falling apart. As we followed them back to their trucks I noticed the trucks so resembled Tonka Toys from the 60's I couldn't help but smile and wondered what an air to ground missile from an F-16 would do to them. What's the point for bringing this up. Simple. China isn't our enemy. They may be pushing us economically which we need  . If anyone takes time to visit China they will find that it's becoming what we used to be. The biggest fights I saw were people trying to get onto the limited shuttle buses that were taking shoppers to the newly opened Walmart . At the Chinese McDonalds ,KFC,& Pizza Hut
while they speak Chinese vs. Spanish and  you are better understood and your order is correct vs. here. So stop trying to stir up anti Chinese sentiment by harping on defense cuts and preparing to fight China. Yes we need to fund our forces at the highest amount ; but for technology that makes sense and can be used for both the next 100 year asymmetrical era as well as classical conflict via the Jihadist wave hick jacking nation states ( Egypt,Libya,and the already hijacked Iran thanks to a weak presidents understanding of global dynamics ).

For details on what types of technology can be used to secure ourselves with a solution in surveillance and security in an asymmetrical era please see posts at :

Boeing's Private Space Taxi to Take Flight by 2016 | CST-100 Capsule : How Will Assets Like This Effect Surveillance and Security In An Asymmetrical Era?

With the end of shuttle operations the land rush or as it were space rush is on to be a supplier of transpiration systems to carry materials and people into space. The international space station will stay in operation and the stores and personal to man it will be transported by vehicles created and manufactured by private companies. The question then becomes how will this new paradigm effect the ability to conduct surveillance and security from space? The potential scenarios are endless with of course opportunities for any terror group or individual of that persuasion to have the ability to gain control of a platform and engage in activity that would emulate 9/11 space themed scenarios.

This publication serves as an extensive resource to review topics related to space and the associated areas potentially dealing with surveillance and security.

Matel Toys Win The West When Applied to Surveillance and Security In An Asymmetrical Era

These were the days . Before the crush of political correctness when kids could play in their yards and streets in front of their houses and not be afraid  of predators on two legs. Consider this concept . When cowboys rode off the television range we lost our moral compass. What data supports this ? Well how many school shootings, courthouse bombings,freeway snipers,Holloway ,et. al incidents were there in the golden era of the western.  Zero !!!  Case closed. Within several years without realizing it the forces of islamic revolution coalesced and with the aid of a weak presidential decision not to back the Shah of Iran was lost and we entered the asymmetrical era of terror politics. We now must be prepared to put into place solution sets that will preserve our infrastructure .
