After years of Japanese, in Spain there is already a generation at the gates of an uncertain scenario: old age without children

by

In 1960 each Spanish woman had throughout her life almost three children. Today They do not reach 1.2. The data is just that: data, demographic means, pure statistical mathematics, but they serve to understand better trends that are every time more present in homes of homes. As I know Birth sinkslife expectancy and Families changeSpain meets A new reality: The first “without children” generations look at old age with the challenge of facing that last vital stage without offspring. No children. Neither grandchildren. The big question is … why? And what does it imply? Figure issue. Spanish demography (like that of Other other countriesinside and out of the West) It is changing. A lot. And fast. In fact it has been doing it for a long time. If we review the fertility index we find that It has collapsed Throughout the last decades: of 2.94 children per woman in 1967 we have gone to 1.12. And going down. Translated into babies that supposes that today they are born in Spain less than half that in him Baby Boom. The trend has been the opposite among people who live alone. At least over the last years. If in 2014 the unipersonal households supposed 24% of the total From the census, six years later they were already 26%. Another reality is those who live in a couple but choose to do it without offspring. In 2020 the INE counted near four million of homes with that profile, two out of ten. Generations without children. A few months ago the CIS contributed an even more interesting approach. Its technicians They asked to people born over the last decades if they had children and found themselves with which the percentage of ‘Sies’ fell clearly as the age of the interviewees did. It is a predictable trend among younger respondents, under 34, but the study reflects something else: among cohorts with more advanced ages, which are already peeling retirement, there is also a considerable percentage of people without offspring. And to show a button. If 89% of people of 75 or more years had children, that percentage went to 81.5%Among the interviewees from 55 to 64 years. If we go to the fork from 35 to 44 years the proportion drops even more, to 62%, and if we descend even more, focusing on the population between 25 and 34 years, we find that only 32% of respondents have had at least one offspring. Why is it important? Because as I pointed out recently The Spanish newspaper (EPE) in An analysis On that same phenomenon, the data of the CIS show us that Spain is at the gates of a demographic milestone: the arrival in the old -generation old age in which a relevant percentage of people has chosen to have no offspring. According to the CISin the age strip from 55 to 64 years they represent 18.5%. “The ghost of old age without children”. Between that 18.5% of people without offspring, such as I confessed recently A couple in the fifty to EPE, there are those who already contemplate with concern to the “ghost of old age without children.” That is, the perspective of becoming greater or becoming dependent without children or grandchildren who, if necessary, can serve as a network. “It seems that you are always going to be autonomous, but the aging is noticeable year after year and seeing it in your elders causes restlessness because having children does not mean that no one will take care of you, but you can have support, at least someone to call,” Write The same couple. They now have octogenarian parents who need help and “someone for everything.” “What would they do without their children?” Marking the way. 18.5% may seem a reduced percentage yet, but THE STUDY OF THE CIS It is interesting for something else: it suggests that this scenario of ‘old age without children’ will be increasingly common. Among the interviewees of 45 to 54 years the percentage of those who claim to have no offspring represents 21.3% and between the people aged 25 and 44 touches 36-66%. Maternity It has been delaying With the passing of the decades and today it is located in almost 33 yearswith what the logical thing would be for these percentages to soften, but still the trend is clear. THE CIS Confirm In addition, another reality that institutions such as the INE have been drawing for a long time: many of the couples who have been parents have had a single descendant, so the support they can receive in their old age will depend on a single child. It comes to review two figures to understand it: among those over 75 years of age the percentage of people with children who claim to have had more than a offspring reaches 90.3%. Among the interviewees of 55 to 64 years that same proportion already collapses to 73.5%. A complex reality. The big question arriving at this point is … Why do the Spaniards have fewer children than a few decades ago or do we even opt for not having them? The answer is complex and adds multiple factors, including cultural, labor and social changes, but a few months ago the CIS reflected Another factor Same relevant: the economic one. According to your polls, 77.3% Of the Spaniards believe that people have no children “due to lack of economic means.” 44.1% indicate another cause that goes along the same lines: “Conciling problems” work and professional life. Moreover, the research center states that 59% of respondents who have not been parents recognize that they would have liked to be. “Create support networks”. The other question that remains by throwing is … What will this increase in people who reach old age without children or grandchildren? Will it translate into greater pressure for public coffers? The problem is not exclusive to Spain. Other countries (Even in Asia) They also face the challenge of seeing how their demographic pyramid is widened … Read more

Valencia’s TSJ does not agree

by

Return to work after having suffered a heart attack and being intervened urgently is very hard. But that, when leaving the hospital, you have to drive a 674 km truck And it takes more than ten days to return home because the company has not organized the transfer to Spain is much worse. The cherry cherry is to make all that journey making cast stops and that, when you reach your destination, the company has prepared The dismissal letter. The story you have collected Genbeta It may seem surreal, but it is what happened in 2021 to a truck driver from Elche who, while he was making a long distance route through Europe, suffered a myocardial infarction and had to be treated in Germany. Now, the Superior Court of Justice of Valencia He has failed in his favor declaring the nullity of dismissal and setting compensation for the treatment received during his return to Spain. The truck driver incident As detailed The sentence From the Superior Court of Justice of Valencia, a truck driver of Elche lived a dramatic experience when on December 12, 2021, while driving on Germany on a long distance route to Norway, suffered a myocardial infarction and had to be hospitalized for three days to practice a catheterization. This incident occurred only three months after the driver was hired as a temporary worker with the aim of covering a new route. After being discharged in the German hospital, the truck driver found himself in a difficult situation that justice has described as “negligent actions” and “uncontending.” Despite having a work decline due to the surgical intervention they had undergone, the company demanded that it lead more than 674 kilometers to Strasbourg, where a partner who was on a route back to Spain picked him up and returned together. However, this return trip, far from being direct, included multiple stops and additional distribution tasks assigned to the partner he had collected. Finally, the return was an odyssey that lasted until eleven days later of the medical incident. Welcome home: You are fired The truck driver’s adventure did not end with his return to Spain. Upon arriving at Elche on December 23, He notified him the dismissed Without prior notice. The company did not officially communicate the dismissal until a week later, under the pretext of needing its presence to “sign documentation.” This dismissal was considered by the truck driver as zero for violation of fundamental rightsspecifically the right to physical and moral integrity. In addition, it was argued that dismissal occurred as a result of the worker’s state of health, which could be considered Disability discrimination. The company, meanwhile, tried to justify its actions. They argued that dismissal was not such, but a “valid extinction of a temporary employment contract due to the circumstances of production.” According to the company, temporary hiring responded to specific market needs, such as covering a new route to Norway and Sweden during the winter and Christmas campaign, and that service had concluded. The company insisted that, for the return, the instructions of the mutual for the worker’s medical assistance had been followed and denied any discrimination or violation of fundamental rights. However, these justifications were not enough to convince the court. The court ruling The Superior Court of Justice of Valencia issued a Judgment in favor of the truck driver. The High Court supported that the company had acted contrary to the protection of the worker’s physical integrity by forcing him to drive in precarious health conditions after having suffered a heart intervention. The sentence declared the nullity of dismissal forcing the company to readmit itand ordered compensation of 30,000 euros for the truck driver for moral damage derived from the management of his return home. The court rejected the company’s allegations on the legality of the TEMPORARY CONTRACT EXTINCTIONconsidering that the cause of temporality had not been properly justified. This judicial decision sends a clear message to companies about the need to prioritize the welfare and safety of their employees collected by article 19 of the Workers Statuteabove the operational demands.

Use headphones With cable as a retransmission antenna. Sounds crazy, but it’s the New practice whereby the attackers can listen at a distance everything you are saying. Periscope is the new espionage system by electromagnetic radiation developed in the laboratory, in order to prove that the devices that are connected to this type of headset are vulnerable. New research has deepened this method by which the sound can be intercepted that is being broadcast through laptops and mobile computers (both Android and iPhone). The authors discovered that both phones and computers generate electromagnetic radiation When they process the sound signals. The funny thing is that, intercepting this signal, the original sound can be recovered. Cable headphones They act as antennas, so they amplify this signalinterceptable up to 15 meters. These signals are imperfect, but can be cleaned with noise and distortion by computer. A complete reconstruction of the audio was achieved with 7.44% error, making audio intelligible both by humans and artificial intelligence. What scenarios can this vulnerability be exploited? In anyone in which your device is broadcasting audio. For example, if you were in a meeting and say any confidential data, a laptop located in a range of 15 meters could intercept the signal and rebuild it later. The researchers reported the problem to Apple, Lenovo, Huawei, Vivo, Oppo and Dell, ensuring that Huawei has been one of the first to get to work to develop a solution. This vulnerability has been discovered in the laboratory, so, for the moment, it does not seem to have been tested in real scenarios at the hands of hackers.

Elon Musk shared a message that apologized to Stalin, Hitler and Mao. Then closed an office that nobody had heard

by

Elon Musk’s role in Donald Trump’s administration, at least the public nature, is to face To the cuts and expenses within the US government. In the last 48 hours there have been two circumstances that reflect The climate of a certain chaos that is breathed at the passage of the richest man on the planet. It all started when he shared a controversial message in X. Excuse Hitler. Last Friday morning, Musk shared in X a publication that claimed that Stalin, Hitler and Mao They were not directly responsible Of the millions of deaths that occurred under their regimes, but the guilt fell to public sector workers. Obviously, the post was received with an immediate reaction and generalized criticisms, being seen as a trivialization of genocides and an anti -Semitic narrative. Given the growing pressure, Musk eliminated the publication, but the damage already seemed done: historians, human rights organizations and thousands of users They condemned him for giving visibility to historical distortion. Political ties and affinity. The truth is that it was not the first time that Musk faced accusations for sharing or supporting controversial content on his network. Also, for example, supported an anti -Semitic postwhich led to a massive leakage of advertisers of the platform. In another case he generated controversy by suggesting that it was “strange” that no one would have tried Killer the former president Biden Oa Kamala Harris, shortly after the trump murder attempt in the elections. In addition, Musk has openly shown sympathy for Right and extreme right leaders worldwide. He has praised and backed figures such as Javier Milei (Argentina), Jair Bolsonaro (Brazil) and Narendra Modi (India), all leaders in countries where he has commercial interests. Recently, he even offered A platform to the ultra -rightist Alternative for Germany (AFD), organizing A Town Hall Online With your chancellor candidate. Unions and organizations in arms. No doubt, the apology message was perceived as an attack on public sector workers in the United States aligning with Musk’s rhetoric against the federal government. In recent months, he has accused public employees of hiding fraud and waste resources, encouraging that give up their positions. The Public Employee Union (AFSCME) strongly rejected the publicationarguing that public servants such as nurses, firefighters, teachers and librarians cannot be compared to genocides. In turn, the Anti -Diffamation League (ADL) described Musk’s action as “Disturbing and irresponsible”since it contributes to minimizing historical crimes and encouraging dangerous narratives. Musk defended himself alleging that his critics were the true allies of Nazism and suggested that there was a conspiracy against him. A strange dismissal. Shortly after, it was made public The last “cut” that has taken the firm of Musk. It all started last February 3When Musk published in X a message stating that 18F, an unknown office of the US government dedicated to technological services, it had “eliminated.” His tweet was an answer to A publication by Alex Lorussoa right -wing activist and producer of conservative influencer Benny Johnson, who falsely said that 18F was a group of extreme left in charge of making bureaucrats prepare the tax statements of citizens. What seemed like a harmless comment on social networks unleashed confusion and alarm within 18F, as we said, an unknown agency that works on technological projects to improve government efficiency and, paradoxically, to reduce costs. The employees did not know if the office had really been dissolved, what would happen to their ongoing projects and/or how to respond to other agencies that depended on their work. The definitive closure. As The Guardian told This weekend, already in March, weeks after Musk’s controversial tweet, 18F employees received an email at 1:00 am notifying them that they would be fired and that the office would close. The order came from the high levels of government and the administration of general services (GSA), the agency that supervised 18F. The official motive given by the government was that employee’s time costs They were too high and that hiring external consultants would be cheaper. However, 18F ex -women and GSA current employees pointed out that this explanation was false, since the office saved money by avoiding unnecessary contracts with private companies. Obvious, many suspect that the closure was A political decision promoted by Musk and its anti -government ideology. Disinformation. As in the case of the publication of the Defense to dictators18F is Another example of what seems like a recurring pattern in the way Musk handles X. Since he acquired the platform, he has used his influence to amplify messages from the radical right and attack government institutions. His tweet on 18F was an example of how misinformation in social networks can translate into real and harmful actions within the government. Lorusso, activist whose tweet Musk amplified, was A nearby collaborator of his political campaign and has worked as Consultant paid for your Super Pac. His post over 18F was denied by X itself, which clarified that the agency did not prepare taxes, but had developed a free platform in the shadow for citizens to They will present their statements without paying third parties. Hence, the disappearance of 18F seems to fit with the objective of Musk to dismantle state structures in favor of private solutions, even when the data shows that the agency saved money to taxpayersas he pointed out The Guardian. In addition, the danger of misinformation in media figures networks, where one day the story is modified by spreading dangerous narratives, and others end up closing offices with all their workers.

Some Amazon made in the US hid a fantastic option for privacy. Alexa +’s arrival will disappear

by

In recent times Amazon launched three models of his family with an interesting option that yes, was only available in the US and in English: local processing of voice recordings. That prevented users from They had to send those recordings to the Amazon cloud and supposed an interesting improvement in privacy. That option will soon stop being available. Less privacy. The products that allowed this feature, explain In The Vergeit was the Echo Dot (4th generation), echo show 10, and echo show 15. As of March 28, those devices of the Amazon Echo family will stop being able to process the audio locally on the device itself. Thus, all audio clips will end up transferred to their servers to be processed in their cloud infrastructure. AI as an excuse. In Ars Technica They indicate how Amazon has explained in an email to this publication that the change is due to the new use of AI models in Alexa+. Specifically, they assure, By continuing to expand Alexa’s capabilities with generative functions that depend on the processing power of the safe cloud of Amazon, we have decided to stop supporting this function. Alexa+ in sight. After this decision is the launch of Alexa+the new version of this voice assistant that will now be enhanced by AI models. To process these models, however, the power of the Amazon cloud is needed, which according to the company makes it impossible for requests to be processed at home as happened so far. Voice recognition. The new AI system that will govern these devices will also have more advanced options to recognize the voice of who is using it and thus be able to respond more precisely and contextually, something that the company calls Voice ID. This characteristic forces Amazon to eliminate the privacy function that was present before, although very limitedly: it is likely that many users of these models did not even know that such privacy characteristic was available. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to in your echo. Users of these devices will not be able to avoid this sending of audio clips even if Alexa+will not use: Amazon will also send those audios even if they do not use said service with ia. The Alexa+ service based on AI models will be included in the Amazon Prime subscription. Another condemnation for privacy. Apart from that special option, the Amazon Echo family devices allow to control certain privacy options like him time that the recordings were stored If they reach their servers. Controversies of the past. In April 2019 it was revealed how Amazon employees listened recordings with the excuse of improving the service. That made The controversy will jump And in fact they already had problems with the suspicion about privacy When Alexa began to be available in Spanish. Amazon promises to protect that data. In that email to Ars Technica Amazon also assured that “Alexa’s voice requests are always sent to the Amazon security cloud, which was designed with security protection layers to keep customer information safe.” They also point out that there will still be various controls to refine that way of managing user data.

Within the most advanced chips manufacturing machines there is something incredible: small supernovae

by

Identifying a Supernova is an event that astronomers usually celebrate with enthusiasm. And it is not for less if we consider that they are One of the most violent events with which we can run into the cosmos. Knowing them better is very important because it can help us understand more precision How are the latest stages of The life of mass starsand also the mechanisms that explain how the material caused by stellar synthesis can lead to new star systems. The mathematical tools handled by astrophysics current nuclear fusion that take place in the nucleus of mass stars. During the stage known as the main sequence, stars obtain their energy from the fusion of hydrogen nuclei. As this chemical element is consumed, the star begins to produce helium nuclei, and, of course, its composition begins to evolve. During this process a huge amount of energy is released and the star is forced to continuously readjust to maintain hydrostatic balance, a phenomenon that is the result of the coexistence of two opposite forces capable of compensating. One of them is the gravitational contraction, which compresses the subject of the star, pressing it without rest. And the other is the radiation and gase pressure, which is the fruit of the ignition of the nuclear oven and tries to expand the star. The small supernovae of the extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment As we have anticipated from the holder, this article does not go only from Supernovas; It is also starred by the semiconductors. A priori we can intuit that these cosmic events and integrated circuits have nothing to do, but, curiously, they do have something in common. This is the reason why I found a good idea to start this text reviewing what a supernova is and why they occur. Otherwise we could not understand in all its extension the idea in which we are about to investigate. The ultraviolet radiation generation process used by UVE lithography equipment is very similar to what happens during a Supernova In the teams of extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) that manufactures the Dutch company ASML, high power lasers instantly heat tens of thousands of tiny tin drops in a single second until they reach a temperature of half a million Celsius degrees. This interaction produces An extremely hot plasma that emits ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 13.5 nm. This light must later be transported to the wafer thanks to a very precise mirrors and lenses system with the purpose of capturing the patterns that define the integrated circuits on a layer of photorers. Very broadly this is the strategy used by the most advanced semiconductor manufacturing machines that currently exist. And, as we have just seen, high -power lasers interpret an unquestionably protagonist role. As Jays Stewart, Chief of Research at ASML, explains in the very interesting article he has published in IEEE Spectrumthe ultraviolet radiation generation process used by UVE lithography equipment to produce avant -garde chips is very similar to what happens during a supernova. When a massive star exhausts its fuel and stops nuclear fusion processes, radiation pressure and gases is no longer able to counteract gravitational contraction. This phenomenon causes the star iron core It suddenly contracts under the enormous pressure that all layers of material that it has above. The star has lost the hydrostatic balance. At this moment all this matter loses the support that the nucleus exercised, which is now much more compact, and falls on it with enormous speed. When all that star material touches the surface of the nucleus there is a rebound effect that causes it to be fired with a huge energy towards the stellar medium, being disseminated. A supernova has just been produced. Some of them are so energetic that for a few seconds they emit more light than the entire galaxy that contains them. The tiny explosions that take place inside the UVE lithography equipment when a laser affects a tin drop produce a shock wave similar to that originating in the stellar medium, although much smaller scale. Surprisingly the mathematical equations that describe the evolution of these two types of explosions are the same. ASML engineers use them to calculate very precisely how the evolution of the shock wave that triggers plasma balls within the UVE equipment will be. And astrophysicians use them to describe the remains of the supernovas and deduce the properties of the star explosion that originated them. A Supernova has 10⁴⁵ times more energy That an explosion of tin, but thanks to this parallel, ASML engineers have been able to solve the complex problem derived from tin residues inside their most advanced lithography equipment.

How to scan a product and check with these apps if it is European and what country comes from

by

Let’s tell you How to scan a product to know if it is European or what concrete country is coming. You can also know the relations that this country has with Spain, the description of the product, and if it is a foreigner you can even know the European alternatives. Due to the geopolitical context, many initiatives of this nature are emerging. In this case it is Several mobile applications They analyze the barcode or the product logo, and they tell you if they are European. We will tell you both the main apps to do this and the way to use them. Apps to know if a product is European Let’s start with a small list with Some applications for scanning products and know if they are European or not. At the moment, there is no multiplatform unified app, but we have several independent apps available for Android or iOS. BUY European for Android: A quite new app that analyzes the products for its barcode, and tells you the company to which they belong and the country they are. Is on Google Play. BUY European for iOS: It is not the same app as for Android, but does the same. You analyze the product barcode and tell you if they are European. It is in the App Store. Buyfromeu for Android and iOS: It allows you to know if a product is really made in Europe, and gives you alternatives. It also allows you to look for alternative for online services. Do not escape anything, you only use a search engine, and this is multiplatform. Is on Google Playand In the App Store. Buyeuropean for iOS: An app that does not analyze the barcode, but the face or cover of the product. Then look for that product and tells you its origin, and it is not European even gives you alternatives. It is in the App Store. How these apps are used In most cases, all you have to do is install the app and give permission to access the camera of your mobile. This permit is necessary to take photos of the barcode or the front of the product you want to analyze. Once you have done this, simply take a picture of the product or bar code, it depends on the app. Sometimes it is not even necessary to take the picture, you just have to point towards it. In any case, When reading the application, it will show you the product data And he will tell you if it is European or not. What this app does when detecting if the product is not European depends on each one, in some cases an alternative can be offered. What you can know with certainty is when one of these products is from some country on the continent.

Google is going to kill a mythical app in all Android. The AI ​​is to blame

by

He debuted almost ten years ago, and Google has made official the announcement of his death. He Google assistant He was born in 2016 with a simple purpose: to become a simple assistant for basic and automatic day -to -day basis. Put alarms, establish reminders, draw quick routes with Google Maps. Functions that are performed in a few steps in the apps, and that the assistant could solve with a single voice command. But this is not enough for Google, which wants me to Gemini be everywhere. The company’s new artificial intelligence will be the official replacement of Google Assistant, which will cease to be available on phones at the end of this year. It is not good news. Helping for almost a decade. Google Assistant has been with us since 2016already level of functionality was extremely polished. It allowed to interact with both native and compatible applications (Spotify, YouTube, etc.) to perform simple tasks in seconds. Since Gemini was launched for Android, this became the native assistant of the system, but we could always go to the settings to make Google Assistant again the native option. At the end of this year, it will cease to be possible. Gemini is natural evolution, but it has a way ahead. Gemini will be better and more complete than the Google assistant, but worries that at this point he will keep it hard to perform the simplest tasks. In Xataka We deepen how Gemini behaves in front of Assistant in simple tasks As what to do on the weekend, what can we eat today, its limitations when interacting with native system functions (panel shine, telephone sound, etc.). It is a great assistant, but it is not yet polished. Ia, we want or not. In the new Gemini era, we want or not (unless we disable the app and we stay without assistant), all the phones will have the integrated Google AI. This is great news at the level of possibilities: we can generate images, access Gemini Live advanced voice, and have an assistant that will end up being much more complete and useful than Assistant. For those who are not too comfortable with Google’s AI, comment that OpenAi already works For ChatgPPT, it can be used as a native voice assistant on Android, a great option to have the advanced voice mode in a few seconds (although it will be difficult to access other apps). The future of the industry. Google’s pass is the logical, even more so if you manage to integrate (as you are already doing) Gemini on all telephone with its operating system. Apple wants to battle with Siri’s advanced mode, But he is choking And there is no defined date for an AI that should already be present on the iPhone. What seems clear is that, if technological ones want to conquer us, they have to do so by introducing it natively in the system, not as an APP available more.

A bomb is directed to Ukraine from the US. It is called GLSDB and is Boeing’s antidote to the “offensive triangle” of Russia

by

Two news in the last hours reflect to what extent the war in Ukraine is a nonsense. On the one hand, the United States has confirmed that he is arguing with Putin LAs lands and energy plants that would find the long -awaited fire. On the other, a package is directed from Washington to Ukraine. Inside, some bombs They promise to change the current Russian advantage in the invasion. The “offensive triangle”. They counted several analysts over the weekend that as the war in Ukraine enters its fourth year, Russia has perfected a strategy that, although it has not achieved decisive advances on the battlefield, is Erosioning systematically the abilities and moral of the Ukrainian forces. The approach, called by British experts such as the “offensive triangle,” combines infantry, attack drones and planning pumps to subdue Ukrainian forces at constant pressure. Tactics has been particularly effective due to Current situation of Ukrainewhich faces the reduction of western military supplies, exacerbated by the decision of the Trump administration of freeze shipments of arms and all cooperation in intelligence (now reactivated both). Although Russia still does not achieve significant strategic advances, its approach is achieving an accumulation of small victories at a high human and material cost. The key role of UMPK. One of the most novel and effective elements of this strategy has been the intensive use of UMPK planning pumpswhich have allowed Russia revive your air capacity without exposing your enemy fire planes. These bombs, which transform conventional ammunition into low -cost precision weapons, have been a key factor for Russia since Your introduction in 2023. Unlike western systems such as The JDAM from the United States (used for more than 25 years), Russian UMPK prioritize quantity over precision. Although its accuracy is less than that of its western counterparts, its explosive power is devastating. Plus: These ammunition have proven to be particularly effective against Ukrainian trenches and bunkers, since even a close impact can destroy well prepared fortifications. It is estimated that Russia will increase its production of 40,000 UMPK bombs in 2024 70,000 in 2025which will mean an even greater challenge for Ukraine. American aid: GLSDB. The response of Ukraine to the Russian offensive triangle will arrive thanks to the reactivation of military aid and intelligence cooperation in the United States. To be more exact, a New improved version of the GROUND-LAUNCHED SMALL DIAMETER BOM (GLSDB). The bomb, which debuted on the Ukrainian battlefield months ago, had a disappointing performance, especially due to the advanced electronic warfare capabilities of Russia, which led to its use was suspended. However, with the growing need for long -range armament after the decrease in reserves of Atacms missilesGLSDB has been reevaluated and modified to counteract electronic interference and improve its effectiveness. The modifications. According to Reutersthe new versions of the GLSDB include structural reinforcements to better withstand launch tensions, in addition to an optimization in Your GPS navigation systemwhich would do it more resistant to blocking and supplantation of signals (Jamming/Spoofing). In fact, to validate these improvements, 19 launch tests were carried out recently. We remember that the bomb was developed by Boeing and Saab, a precision weapon released from the ground with remote attack capacity. Its design is based on the combination of two existing components. On the one hand, the small diameter pump GBU-39/B (SDB), used in air attacks. On the other, the M26 rocket engine, which is used in multiple launcher systems m270 mlrs and M142 Himars. How it works. The system allows the GLSDB to be triggered as if it were a rocket to use and, after reaching a certain altitude, displays retractable wings that allow it to plan without propulsion to its target, using its inertial navigation system and GPS. Its scope is approximately 150 kmwhich makes it especially useful for Ukraine in its attempt to attack Russian infrastructure and supply lines at a great distance. The initial problem. Although Saab had ensured that GLSDB had high precision (with a margin of error of only one meter), reports from the front suggest that their vulnerability to the Russian electronic warfare It was greater than expected. Russia has demonstrated an effective capacity to Block GPS signalswhich affected the precision of the GLSDB and reduced its effectiveness. Interestingly, the aerial version of the SDB has worked well in the Ukrainian Air Force, which has raised doubts about why the land version suffered interference problems. It is suggested that the greatest flight distance in GLSDB may have amplified the impact of GPS signal loss. Strategic importance and versatility. Be that as it may be despite its initial problems, GLSDB is still A key piece In the Ukrainian military strategy. Its great reach places the pump above the 227 mm rockets used in the MLRS and Himars, which allows deep attacks without the need for expensive tactical ballistic missiles such as the same Atacms. In addition, it has the advantage of being compatible with multiple launch platforms, including the MLRS M270 and the Himars M142which facilitates its integration into the Ukrainian Arsenal. Plus: Another important factor is the availability of components, since both M26 engines and GBU-39/B pumps have broad “stock” in the US and other allies, which makes the GLSDB pump a viable and scalable option to maintain the pressure on Russia and cope with that moscow wear war with Your offensive triangle.
