Would any nation that has staff at all levels of US mil, command, policy and political levels as trusted second and third generation totally cleared team members risk discovery over a short term prototype drone project?
No nation would risk their generations of well placed deep penetration staff over a shot term, stop gap, no bid contractor platform.
The real US drones will be AI ready over a set zone and fall back on the Vietnam war fantasy of a free fire zone.
Until then its just contractors that sold prototypes that have expected design issues as their mission time is too long.
Lack of awake pilots for the distances and hours? Lack of classic jet designs ready for the role of 24/7 leadership decapitation? AI drones not ready yet?
Contractors sold the US a complex prototype drone system that got more and more upgraded but what was offered was still not ready for the role.
Years later the basic issues cant be hidden from the press. The electrical failures would point to having to find savings and a lack of good long term design.
Ready for the sale pitch and fly by, long term its going to be replaced soon was seen as mission ready. US policy stretched that time line out too far and now the issues creep in.
Or wait for the new cover story other nations can spoof the connections and GPS globally and are gliding the drones down at will. The very mysterious talking points.
The drones need an expensive new encryption upgrade and will be just fine again.
That taught BASIC, Ada, Pascal.
They have a lot of simple intro projects that dont need some "company" CS web gui, movie set branding or intro movies to show what fun their movie themed gui is.
Re 'write a program to divide two numbers in two different programming languages and compare the results to determine the differences between the languages."
That might just result in seeing something done in 4 lines vs 8 lines or the use of english words in code. A discussion about the amount typing, why english was used... why it was done like that in the past, what is been done now.. what company they know uses what language this decade and why...
Show the origins of other languages, history eg Ada, C, BASIC but then teach and show one language to a good standard.
Much of the EU has its own deep dark history with German Nazi occupied Europe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., Soviet occupation, decades of NSA, CIA and GCHQ operations.
Mass surveillance was used on a lot of the different nations and individuals for different party, political or trade reasons.
Legal teams can draw on the past generational experiences under fascist, communist and now EU/US/NATO rule and tell the press about what they found.
Recall the vaults filled with audio tape opened in the 1990's. The vast amounts of files the East Germans collected and then tried to destroy. The German legal views on opening East German files re East or West German collected content. Now the NSA whistleblowers.
Looks like the EU just found out about the wisdom of the US 4th amendment to be secure in their persons, houses, papers vs big government or a politico-economic union tyranny.
Re "a slogan for themselves":
"Why the US Launched a Spy Rocket With an Earth-Sucking Octopus On It" (December 7, 2013) http://motherboard.vice.com/bl...
All part of the very long term collect it all domestic dragnet surveillance and the use of insignia badges with Latin phrases.
But then one remote staff member can replace all the union staff on site and still meet gov control guidelines. Think of the savings.
A lot of this remote network upgrade was sold to remove the human side to a site or area. So now the open internet has been let deep into once restricted and air gapped locations that would have been be very secure.
The next rush is to upgrade security and sell or rent advanced systems to keep the same old networks secure.
For that marketing to work, real world press has to be created that shows the need to spend big.
Once a company sells a huge contract, a company is listed as buying. The lists already exist as part of sales material..
Its really what a good defence lawyer can ask about and find was done from a standard POTS warrant or beacon copy and paste tracking.
ie the gov is doing NSA collect it all on domestic hops of friends friends from one persons court paperwork for a cell phone or tracking one SUV.
A good lawyer should be able to see what else was built from one case. How was so much information found from one court order that might not even be for their client...
Methods and what a court allowed. Beacon was for gps? Why the hours of open mic voice conversations from the SUV in sealed court then? POTS warrant used for cell phone and all connections to other cell phone and their metadata too? Crafted gov malware pushed into a lot of cell phones or computers?
How did the case even evolve? What was the first mention or discovery of their client? Metadata? An unexpected voice phone call mentioning a name, location in full? Informant? Paid? Granted early release? Chat down? SUV seen in an area of interest?
The way all that is prevented is by ensuring the guilty person can never pay for a good legal team. Would a lawyer work for free over years out of friendship or other considerations? That can usually be detected before a case and steps taken avoid the gov facing any such legal risk in open court.
The "free" gov gifted lawyer is reduced to asking for a copy of the "deal" and takes it into their client. Hints about the much better terms when cooperating, even release if many more people can be found with more cooperating...
That is then offered to "allow companies to listen to their employees calls when investigating misconduct, such as in the financial industry"?
If the GCHQ wanted undetectable, just ensure the designs allowed in the UK are to the generations of usual tame and junk maths standards.
Then dont tell or allow anyone to publish on the existing, new or to be released standards.
Get any wider academic study out of the telco sector and replace it with tame UK professional academics with security backgrounds. Have them pump out vast numbers of complex papers to a waiting press to pass on the wholesomeness of UK crypto academics and advanced secure communications.
That would have covered the "Undetectable" part in a more realistic fashion. If junk crypto is been talked about as offering "companies to listen to their employees calls" people kind of understand the level of UK mass surveillance over all devices sold in the UK.
Why would anyone interesting ever talk about anything interesting on a UK connected network ever again?
The more people understand the UK gov is a party to all their private digital communications, the more they can revert to traditional methods of communications.
Does the UK have the overtime for 6-10 contractor or mil teams in shifts to watch every single interesting person 24/7 when they fail to turn on their gov ready phones everyday?
Drones, teams of cars and helicopters to track every meeting of 3 interesting people in a remote locations with no phones again?
What worked so well in Ireland needed a small army of very skilled teams watching a very small population. Do todays gov officials and contractors have the ability to fit in with the communities or will they be noticed?
As for "“scale and usability requirements" that would be more Tempora? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Telling an entire nation they are under constant surveillance will change how they use a cell phone. Why would any gov tell them to change their habits?
Is the UK gov hoping to induce a trackable rush to VPN's and then track for people altering their cell phone habits as the information filters down the wider press?
That gives the UK give a short list of people who altered their habits but for the loss of their digital communications. Time for a lot of ground teams in vans to make up for what the GCHQ got for "free" every generation?
Staff need to be found on merit so they can design the future. Consumers pay a lot for branding over very low production costs and ensure a great profit.
That takes real skills and smarts. Good branding and profits per device needs the best staff.
How to get the very best people for the job?
Find people who have had access to study and who had the freedom to learn to like and enjoy further education.
Good new reading material, small class sizes, new equipment, professional teachers who could advance learning rather than teach how to just pass state and federal testing.
Once the few region of educational excellence in a nation have been mapped out, focus recruiting within the very best of the best over every generation.
People who have had the pleasure and time to enjoy history and can project into the future wants of the average consumer. Then place new advanced products on any production lines that ensure a good profit growth.
Finally have a sales team to tell the world about the joy of working with good design. Smart staff can play a charismatic role in keeping the media well away from the production lines and any questions about gov crypto trap doors.
Just as the role of taxation was considered so should any nations further educational demands on a company.
The idea was that internal secret police had to be used to keep independence movements contained. The US did not want to be seen in public supporting such a role in post ww2 Africa. The US liked the idea of supporting new nations that would then be totally dependant on the US and its brands, services with no political issues.
The UK and some other EU powers tried to stay on for as long as they could under their own local leaders or more direct rule.
The West was even ready to swap to military dictatorships as long as their NSA and GCHQ stations got to stay in the region.
eg Silvermine, HMS Vacoas, Heliopolis, Kagnew Ethiopia.
Keeping a massive secret police was expensive for the UK. Other EU powers had cash flow issues after ww2 into the 1970's.
The wider media started to note the methods needed to keep independence movements down and what local leaders did under the cover of their colonial masters.
The cost and optics started to catch up with EU nations selling a freedom loving message into the 1950-70's.
Local autonomy or token civil rights was not freedom from another nations monarchy, rules, taxation, military.
Would any nation like to have its leadership, faith, courts ruled from another nation?
For the West it was often just about trade and mil access at the lowest cost. Full independence and huge new bank loans was cheaper than troops been lost on the ground.
Re "UK economy would have been.. " The UK did not have the free cash to run, police control parts of Africa and support its own internal post ww2 rebuilding.
Too many camera crews would have seen the results of UK police or mil actions and told the world after the 1950's.
The UK role in more Mau Mau Uprising like events would not have made for good TV every night if seen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Other nations had the same raw materials much cheaper or new advanced materials became more interesting globally.
Now the US has to go back and do the same deals with local leaders for bases.
China, even Vietnam had the real smarts when it came to supporting Africa. Help the locals with growing food, building rail, energy, mines, jobs ie not just huge cash loans that the West liked giving nations leadership so much.
has been around for years. The US gets "invited" in by some emerging democracy, leader and builds a small camp with a runway.
Just like in another few nations in the region.

Clinton Email Shows that Oil and Gold Were Behind Regime Change In Libya (01/09/2016) http://www.zerohedge.com/news/...
Will the US vision of a remote war work? For that the US needs constant signals intelligence ie people have to walk around with electronics that is "on" and been in use. Shared electronics or electronics thats just been driven around randomly could be another part of the puzzle.
Another method was to hand out tagging and tracking systems to local "freedom fighters" or US trained "moderates" to then place near people of interest. Such efforts can get used to quickly settle local issues rather than the US expected role for easy leadership decapitation.
The US is still trying to reduce flight time and get more loitering time.
Great news for the contractors and mercenaries working hours. Just like the Vietnam war base funding, pacification ideas and search and destroy zones but no complex draft politics back home.
Re "weird alien megastructure":
What aliens would let their food supply or spare parts herd ie Earth get to see anything other than deep empty space to keep them calm and tender? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
How did science solve the distant science issue on earth and power needs? Build collection systems and place them in interesting but very remote locations.
Data is collected and ends up at a nice well funded, comfy lab for publication and study over decades. The news media tells the world and more study follows.
The US did it with its Sentinel 100F, Sentinel 25 remote monitoring sites. Voyager 1,2, Galileo ect.
ie just keep looking, funding and teaching science.
The big issues is the lack of any charismatic leadership, decades of educational social promotion and stifling political oversight of science, blocking of funding and projects due to questions of faith by political leadership, having to spend big to rediscover past manufacturing skills lost in decades of no funding.
ie just give US science a tiny fraction of the wasted US military no bid contractor like funding and over decades great US discoveries can build on past wonders.
Once the US gets it science funding and education ability back to a normal level, good news can propagate brightly as other nations slide back into their traditional darkness.
Re 'Purely speaking from an economic standpoint, it would also make sense to do things differently."
Have a look at the other ideas. Cheaper, more smart to get the mission done, much less complex and they could offer more up in space with what could be moved up from earth.
The US has always had a fixation with a bring back down option. Why would the US demand a soft, safe land return?
A few ideas about burn up or public ocean return got offered and got rejected.
In the back of the US military industrial complex is one long term design option the US wants passed onto its design team.
The need to collect a nations space equipment and return it to any selected US military base when needed.
Allowing a long term team to win with burn up or an public ocean recovery would set a bad technological design trend that would stop providing public and science design cover stories for dual use military ready missions.
Long term its back to a dual use Space Shuttle landing like landing system with big cargo room to sell the wider public on cute science while offering the military large cargo up and down options.
"Declassified US Spy Satellites Reveal Rare Look at Secret Cold War Space Program" (September 20, 2011) https://news.yahoo.com/declass...
"The space shuttle's payload bay was sized to accommodate the KH-9".
Recall the First Amendment mentions and protects a profession by name: the press. Thats a right, guaranteed.
No local finding, act, law, debate, twist gets to take away press freedom.
US tax payers are paying for the footage and its their bureaucracy and officials using equipment paid for by tax payers.
The "police" do not get to just internally "agree" to block a FOIA request from the media.
The body worn camera is a feature to ensure public servants are interacting with the wider public and local, state or wider press review should be no problem.
Other US states really enforce and have strong local laws to support FOIA requests at every level of local bureaucracy.
Why? Good local laws got passed to ensure FOIA was fully available at every level of local government.
Members of the media could also reach out to people who film first amendment audits and accountable grassroots organizations. They often have a lot of interesting interactions under color of law.
The media has it get its First Amendment back in court and start showing the wider public all and any media it wants.
More freedom of the press and less hidden bureaucracy eg Florida has its sunshine laws that are very easy to understand at any level of local bureaucracy and ensure open government for all.
People will just use a Windows desktop OS with a new CPU lock for new computer games.
Too much risk with real computing needs and a consumer OS that demands a new CPU sometime very soon.
Yes for key words ie the text used and any details about any file any national or international police force, federal agency or cleared NGO has listed as needing to be tracked.
Cloud-based antivirus would be another sector to think about.
Been secure in a persons own papers has gone years ago. The way some email was stored long term made it a free for all years ago.
Yes the US space commands publications make it clear the role space will play for the USA.

Kind of puts the comments about another science probe with interesting communications needs from China into perspective.
One final interesting aspect is if a nation's staff could party. Lack of any basic party skills or per person interest in partying resulted more a lot more surveillance.
So ensure all embassy staff, trade missions and people sent to the USA can party to a US standard.
The ability of a nations staff to relate to new and popular music, hold witty conversation in English, have an understanding of alcoholic beverages and move quickly to participate in all social events seemed to be an interesting part of US counter surveillance.
So for the foreign gov staff and embassy staff in training study US party culture for a few years.
in a quickly created amusement part.... With multinational brands shown the visiting public their branded propaganda in public?
Interactive life size ads?
Most of the new cash went back to winning coveted US entertainment awards over the years and for more tv shows.
The internet protection was not active for a while and the wider internet wondered around... using ftp.
A lot is about staff from other nations selling food... and getting their students into the USA.
The millions of people moving past would be exposed to other nations staff and politics... and might meet, talk to the non US workers.
Did the federal gov have enough cleared US staff to cover watching all the new staff from other nations..
The issues of song and dance staff from China..
Who got long term areas to show their nations, who got what gift shop...
Staff faking their English skills as in not understanding much English or pretending to need translation and having great English skills.
Pages about a $50 sale/overring and the chat down with staff and who took what photo or did no get photo taken...
Pages on people been offered reading material about travel/study in China.
Some comment on the role of students from Hong Kong.
200 pages later and the 2016 news is?
It takes a lot of gov staff to watch a very few people from other nations. Everyone is been followed in person, every stop, start, look, chat is been logged.
All US staff interactions get a complex "chat downs". Reading material about study in other nations is of great interest.
Will HD and 4K networks need a per user dongle sent out to users who send in REAL ID Act details?
Activation after a call centre makes direct voice contact and tracks the dongle to a US location in real time?
A good VPN could still shield the origins of most of its east and west coast users at the EU and oceania entry points into the USA.
The US exit ip shows up from a US based network a bit further than a network-neutral centre with interconnection services.
Or have the VPN pop up in some fly over state with low taxes, really cheap networking and power costs as part of a massive ip range sold to a walled community.
All I can suggest is to borrow a friends advance unit and try different distances and in different rooms. The created network might be amazing and work really well or not be so great in different locations. Some people have had great success with the more advanced business grade repeaters and extenders as an option.
The price can go up for the more useful units.
All the best.
Depends on the users location and the building standards over the years. From one end of the parked RV back into the home? Plasterboard, wood, plastic wrap with quality plastic veneer?
A more traditional design with real brick and cement was used or a steel structure? Is the users computer in a basement expecting bandwidth up to the second floor network? A tent undercover just outside? A sleeping area created in the crawl space?
How many other users have returned home to now live in once spare bedrooms above the basement and now expect days and nights of HD streaming too?
Do other neighbours that are sharing a thin wall have the same very powerful new networking setups?
Or is the user in direct line of sight of the network hardware in the same room with very distant neighbours who all use ethernet?

"The space shuttle's payload bay was sized to accommodate the KH-9".
Recall the First Amendment mentions and protects a profession by name: the press. Thats a right, guaranteed.
No local finding, act, law, debate, twist gets to take away press freedom.
US tax payers are paying for the footage and its their bureaucracy and officials using equipment paid for by tax payers.
The "police" do not get to just internally "agree" to block a FOIA request from the media.
The body worn camera is a feature to ensure public servants are interacting with the wider public and local, state or wider press review should be no problem.
Other US states really enforce and have strong local laws to support FOIA requests at every level of local bureaucracy.
Why? Good local laws got passed to ensure FOIA was fully available at every level of local government.
Members of the media could also reach out to people who film first amendment audits and accountable grassroots organizations. They often have a lot of interesting interactions under color of law.
The media has it get its First Amendment back in court and start showing the wider public all and any media it wants.
More freedom of the press and less hidden bureaucracy eg Florida has its sunshine laws that are very easy to understand at any level of local bureaucracy and ensure open government for all.
People will just use a Windows desktop OS with a new CPU lock for new computer games.
Too much risk with real computing needs and a consumer OS that demands a new CPU sometime very soon.
Yes for key words ie the text used and any details about any file any national or international police force, federal agency or cleared NGO has listed as needing to be tracked.
Cloud-based antivirus would be another sector to think about.
Been secure in a persons own papers has gone years ago. The way some email was stored long term made it a free for all years ago.
Yes the US space commands publications make it clear the role space will play for the USA.

Kind of puts the comments about another science probe with interesting communications needs from China into perspective.
One final interesting aspect is if a nation's staff could party. Lack of any basic party skills or per person interest in partying resulted more a lot more surveillance.
So ensure all embassy staff, trade missions and people sent to the USA can party to a US standard.
The ability of a nations staff to relate to new and popular music, hold witty conversation in English, have an understanding of alcoholic beverages and move quickly to participate in all social events seemed to be an interesting part of US counter surveillance.
So for the foreign gov staff and embassy staff in training study US party culture for a few years.
in a quickly created amusement part.... With multinational brands shown the visiting public their branded propaganda in public?
Interactive life size ads?
Most of the new cash went back to winning coveted US entertainment awards over the years and for more tv shows.
The internet protection was not active for a while and the wider internet wondered around... using ftp.
A lot is about staff from other nations selling food... and getting their students into the USA.
The millions of people moving past would be exposed to other nations staff and politics... and might meet, talk to the non US workers.
Did the federal gov have enough cleared US staff to cover watching all the new staff from other nations..
The issues of song and dance staff from China..
Who got long term areas to show their nations, who got what gift shop...
Staff faking their English skills as in not understanding much English or pretending to need translation and having great English skills.
Pages about a $50 sale/overring and the chat down with staff and who took what photo or did no get photo taken...
Pages on people been offered reading material about travel/study in China.
Some comment on the role of students from Hong Kong.
200 pages later and the 2016 news is?
It takes a lot of gov staff to watch a very few people from other nations. Everyone is been followed in person, every stop, start, look, chat is been logged.
All US staff interactions get a complex "chat downs". Reading material about study in other nations is of great interest.
Will HD and 4K networks need a per user dongle sent out to users who send in REAL ID Act details?
Activation after a call centre makes direct voice contact and tracks the dongle to a US location in real time?
A good VPN could still shield the origins of most of its east and west coast users at the EU and oceania entry points into the USA.
The US exit ip shows up from a US based network a bit further than a network-neutral centre with interconnection services.
Or have the VPN pop up in some fly over state with low taxes, really cheap networking and power costs as part of a massive ip range sold to a walled community.
All I can suggest is to borrow a friends advance unit and try different distances and in different rooms. The created network might be amazing and work really well or not be so great in different locations. Some people have had great success with the more advanced business grade repeaters and extenders as an option.
The price can go up for the more useful units. All the best.
Depends on the users location and the building standards over the years. From one end of the parked RV back into the home? Plasterboard, wood, plastic wrap with quality plastic veneer?
A more traditional design with real brick and cement was used or a steel structure? Is the users computer in a basement expecting bandwidth up to the second floor network? A tent undercover just outside? A sleeping area created in the crawl space?
How many other users have returned home to now live in once spare bedrooms above the basement and now expect days and nights of HD streaming too?
Do other neighbours that are sharing a thin wall have the same very powerful new networking setups?
Or is the user in direct line of sight of the network hardware in the same room with very distant neighbours who all use ethernet?
