@rka1: ''The below is from a UAV Pilot;

Me: You know this how? The commenter does not identify himself as a Gulma UAV Pilot.

@rka1: "The Gulma series project was borne by NAF’s vision at Optimizing Local Engineering (OLE), developing aviation technology in Nigeria using 100% Nigerians and within Nigeria as much as possible – Indigenous is the key word. @Crystal Aerospace cleared thoroughly on the wealth of experience of the NAF team working on the Gulma."

Me: Hehe..There's a reason why you omitted the first part of his comment. He's a fraud. He says, '' There are quite a handful of engineers and researchers from the Amebo team that's on the Gulma project.'' Well we know this to be wrong because the Gulma is borne out of the Amebo project. There are no two separate drone projects. The Gulma is a descendant of the Amebo prototypes built by the same people.


@rka1"The black camera on board has a tau 640 IR sensor. The drone can operate day and night and has one of the best autopilots on-board. The aircraft was designed by an Air Force team made of 8 PhDs (all trained at Cranfield University UK) plus over 30 Officers with MSc in Aerospace Vehicle design, all from Cranfield University UK. The process from concept to test flight was over 80,000 man hours of work. Guys, let’s learn to appreciate good things"

Me: On his earlier post he/she says, 'Amebo was a joint project between the Air Force and Cranfield University UK. Gulma from concept to design to manufacture has NO FOREIGN PARTS.''

Really? Do you agree?

And he never provides a source that ''camera on board has a tau 640 IR sensor. The drone can operate day and night and has one of the best autopilots on-board...''

Not only is he self-contraditory; but he doesn't even bother to post a source. The burden is upon you to provide a source on his behalf seeing as how you brought him up.

@#??@#^^()?<>@###?

souldust:

what is this "gateway" all about? Whats the implication of it being in SA?

agaugust:

gateways for satellite telecoms will work like GSM base stations that are spread over a city to transfer/connect/forward signals/messages from source point to final destination point.

could be used for telecommunication satellites, but would not be needed for earth observation satellites that just take pictures of locations.

i dont know any source that says nigeria has satellite gateways in south africa, it may just be a story south africans cook up because we have embarrassed them with the fact that they dont have any satellite

i cannot say if the gateway thing about nigeria is true or false.

.

Fighter Pilot:

Most of sub-saharan African countries receive their network from SA. A gateway is a source of network or router in simple language.

Fighter Pilot:

It seems as if you know little about how satellites work. Satellites need servers (gateways) to funtion optimally, be it of anything, including taking images.

Read the link below to see that your gateways are located in SA, China, Italy and Northern Nigeria.

http://www.itnewsafrica.com/2007/05/nigeria-nigcomsat-gateway-to-digitalising-africa/

Fighter Pilot:

That is very true, one of your gateway for Nigcomsat is located in SA.

The satellite has four gateways to be located in South Africa, China, Italy and Northern Nigeria.

souldust:

is Northern Nigeria different from Nigeria?

NaijaPikinGidi:

I can authoritatively guarantee a kid like you that there is no such gateway in South Africa. The onus to prove me wrong resides with your willingness to tell us where in SA it is located. There is a difference between submarine fibre optic cable landing points/gateways and satellite communication gateway! There are many submarine fibre optics cable landing points and gateways across Africa's coastline also landing in Europe and Asia.

Please prove me wrong, otherwise remain with comments above and below:



Take your time to read the above excerpt from your shared link.

NaijaPikinGidi: Stupid boy! I was even hoping you'd be talking about satelite relay and base stations being located in SA but here you are talking your kak about servers! You well at all? Look up Main One, Glo-1, WACS and SAT3 landing points/gateways. Stop fooling around.

CraigB: This is where the useless Naai-gerian military personnel gave up their wives and children to Boko Haram.

It doesn't get more pathetic than this.

Fighter Pilot:

My friend this is really not a joke anymore. I have also seen that on the news. The second most powerful military in Africa (source: Agaugust's rankings) have really suffered a collateral damage at the hands of insugents. They have had several soldiers killed and their wives and children kidnapped, probably even r.aped as we speak, but the army is keeping mum about the whole ordeal. There is indeed a serious problem going on in that country of denial.

NaijaPikinGidi: And an infantile CrazePig for want of something to say is only able to express more of his chronic stupidity? Sadly he and his dumb FighterPilot know nothing about Satellites. They fail to understand that making spurious and silly points seriously exposes their porous nyash! Nigeria's Satellites are doing their rounds in orbit and are fully functioning, controlled and manned from our ground control station. Ask or beg nicely to get a piece of our satellite's functionality/action and we may site the gateway to fulfill SA's satellite cravings!

Fighter Pilot:

It seems as if you dont even know what a gateway is. All gateways that are connecting Africa to Europe are located in SA.

More useless noise. No evidence. As expected.

NaijaPikinGidi:

A pig will always be a pig! All mud and no decency! All stupidity and no sense! Deluded by the smell from his piggy pout!

Fighter Pilot:

I think the only person who knows nothing about satellites is you. I live in a country which is very advanced in Engineering, Science and Technology.

NaijaPikinGidi: Stupid boy! I was even hoping you'd be talking about satelite relay and base stations being located in SA but here you are talking your kak about servers! You well at all? Look up Main One, Glo-1, WACS and SAT3 landing points/gateways. Stop fooling around.

NaijaPikinGidi:

If you had known the meaning of a gateway or tried to educate yourself from my direct comment and response to you, you'd not have responded in this manner! The topic is about Nigeria's satellite gateways and so far there isn't anything credible you have offered to sustain your dubious claim.



Until you can tell between a submarine fibre optic gateway and satellite gateway, just shut up! BTW, my comment above still stands!

chris365:

You are useless. There are 36 states in Nigeria and war on terror is only affecting one which is not contributing anything to the Nigerian economy.

And your stup1d brain calls it serious. Serious enough to make Nigerian economy overtake SA by next year? Serious enough to make Nigeria the country with the highest FDI in Africa this year and next?

You and you fellow south sad Africans are just a bunch of clueless and ignorant 1diots that don't know anything outside SA.

Carry on. Ode

Fighter Pilot:


Perhaps, is your amadioha that controls your satellites for you on the ground.

Fighter Pilot:

You care more about economy than the victims who are law abiding citizens of Nigeria and yet continue to lose their lives for nothing. It doesnt matter if is affecting 3 states in Nigeria or not, but still it is happenning in Nigeria.
