BCL-M5. The BCL-M5 is an armored personnel carrier manufactured in Algeria by the Central Logistics Base (BCL) of Béni Mered, which is a public industrial and commercial establishment (EPIC) under the Algerian Ministry of Defense. Designed in 1991 and entering service in 1993, it is named after the Central Logistics Base (BCL).

Features 
The BCL-M5 armoured vehicle developed by the Central Logistics Base is a four-wheeled armoured vehicle of a shape and size similar to those of the Russian BTRs and can be equipped with a 25mm cannon.

With a 4×4 four-wheel drive system, this armoured vehicle was built on the foundations of a SNVI m120 truck that contains a German F6L912 KHD Deutz engine with a capacity of 120 hp, which is 100% locally manufactured under the license of Deutz, and there are two doors on each side of the vehicle for the driver and the commander of the board, and there are openings on the roof And a small one with small windows on both sides and a total number of 8 for shooting, carrying 8 fully armed personnel + 2 crew members.

The armour of the BCL-M5 is able to protect the occupants of the vehicle against impacts from armour-piercing 7.62mm calibre ammunition, while the front side can withstand impacts from 14.5mm calibre ammunition.

The vehicle also has a "V" floor, providing it with a high level of protection against mines and IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices). It can withstand the blast of an 8 kg mine, a characteristic that can be further improved, if necessary, by carrying additional armour modules.

Armament 
This troop carrier can be fitted with a wide variety of remote-controlled and turret-mounted weapon systems.

Typically, it is paired with a 7.62mm remote-controlled machine gun, paired with a 40mm automatic grenade launcher. However, it can carry weapon systems with a calibre of up to 90mm.

Operators 
  : Used by the People's National Army during the civil war that this country experienced when the major Western powers suspended their arms deliveries.

THOR (weapon). The Tactical High-power Operational Responder (THOR) is a high-power microwave directed energy weapon developed by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).

Design
THOR is designed to counter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by sending out a high-power, short pulse of microwaves to disable electronics through overwhelming critical components intended to carry electrical currents. This is effective at intercepting drone swarms; while a laser needs time to burn through one at a time, an HPM can fire in an arc to disable multiple at once and refire in rapid succession. Compared to hard-kill methods for engaging drones, THOR's radio bursts have a wider engagement range, are silent, and are instantaneous. Intended for base defense, the system resembles a  shipping container with a satellite dish attached. It can be transported on a C-130 Hercules and assembled by two personnel in under three hours.

History
THOR first began testing in spring 2019. The system was developed quickly in 18 months for $18 million. The program represents a collaboration between AFRL, BAE Systems, Leidos, and Verus Research, an engineering firm based in Albuquerque. An Air Force official said in December 2020 that THOR was being tested "in a real-world setting" in Africa, but that statement was then retracted.

The AFRL began solicitations for contractors to develop a follow-on prototype to THOR in July 2021 called Mjölnir, named after Thor's hammer to keep the new system's name in the family. Mjölnir will incorporate improvements in capability, reliability, and manufacturing readiness to produce a deployable system that can be made in large numbers. In February 2022, the AFRL awarded Leidos a $26 million contract to build the system.

On 5 April 2023, THOR successfully engaged multiple targets in a simulated swarm attack in a demonstration at the Chestnut Test Site, Kirtland Air Force Base; the number of drones downed and at what range was not disclosed.

Stanton Sunbird. The Sunbird is a single-seater homebuilt motor glider, designed and built in New Zealand by Charles Stanton. It first flew in 1995, and was retired in 2005.

Design and development
Charles Stanton of Nelson, New Zealand had previously built and flown an AmEagle American Eaglet motor glider, registration ZK-GOE (c/n AACA/641). That craft's registration was cancelled in 1992. Stanton then went on to design and build a motor glider, and utilised components from the American Eaglet. Construction took over three years, and was completed by early 1995.

The Sunbird was a self-launching motor glider. It was a high-wing monoplane of conventional configuration, with a pod-and-boom style of fuselage. The cantilevered wing had no dihedral and its planform was of constant chord with a tapered outer section. The pilot was housed in a small faired nacelle. The engine was located at the rear of the nacelle, and powered a two-bladed folding propeller. The engine was a  Rotax 277, which could be re-started in flight. The empennage was of the standard type arranged in a cruciform configuration. The undercarriage was a fixed monowheel fitted with a wheel spat. The Sunbird met the New Zealand specifications for Class 1 Microlights, and was issued with the registration ZK-JEA.

Operational history
It first flew on 26 February 1995, with Stanton reportedly making numerous flights in it over the next ten years.  On one flight, it reached an altitude of .  Another flight lasted for  hours. The craft's final flight took place on 16 April 2005.  It was donated to the Ashburton Aviation Museum on 4 December 2005, during the Museum's Christmas Party.

Hydroelectricity in Armenia. Hydropower generates about 30% of Armenia's electricity but its share varies a lot from year to year.

Hydro power plants provide 70 percent of Armenia's renewable energy. Major HPP capacities are installed within Sevan-Hrazdan Cascade and Vorotan Cascade. The hydropower potential of Armenia is reported to be 21.8 billion kWh.

As of the 1 January 2018, electricity was generated by 184 small HPPs, with total installed capacity of 353 MW.  In 2017 the generation of the electricity from small HPPs was around 862 million kW*h, which is about 11% of the total generated electricity in Armenia (7762 million kW*h). As of 1 January 2018, and according to the provided licenses, 36 additional SHPPs are under construction, with about total projected 69 MW capacity and 250 million kW*h electricity annual supply.

The economically justified hydropower potential of Armenia is around 3.600 GWh/year.From this amount, 1.500 GWh/year (or about 42% of economically justified hydropower potential) has been developed already.Six of the plants are in the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Large plants 
Armenia has nine hydroelectric power plants which together accounted for one third of its domestic electricity generation.  The plants are grouped along two cascades:  the Sevan–Hrazdan Cascade and the Vorotan Cascade.  The following table lists the details of each cascade:

Planned projects 
Though both Iran and Armenia have long discussed opening a 140 MW, joint hydro power plant on the Artak's River – Meghri HPP (also known as the Araks Hydro Power Plant) – by mid-2021, the project had not begun construction. Coupled with the 60 MW Loriberd HPP, these projects would add a cumulative generation of 1,012 million kWh/year.  The Meghri Hydro Power Plant is a joint Armenian-Iranian project slated to be constructed on the Araks River near Armenia's southern border town of Meghri.

In 2010, the energy ministers of Armenia and Iran signed a document on the long-anticipated construction of two hydropower stations on the Arax River. The agreement stipulates that the $323 million project will be fundamentally financed and operated by Iran, 793 million kWh of energy transported to Iran annually, and the stations transferred to Armenia's ownership 15 years later. Construction was expected to commence in 2011 and take five years to complete. By 2021, construction had not begun.

Small plants 
According to a USAID sponsored report, 313 small hydroelectric power plants (small HPPs) with an installed capacity of 243.366 MW and an average yearly electricity production of 737.38 GWh are installed in the country.

History
Some plants were lost in the 2nd Nagorno-Karabakh war leading to electricity shortages after cables connecting the enclave were damaged.

AI-assisted virtualization software. AI-assisted virtualization software is a type of technology that combines the principles of virtualization with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. This software is designed to improve efficiency and management of virtual environments and resources. This technology has been used in cloud computing and for various industries.

History 
Virtualization originated in Mainframe computers in the 1960s in order to divide system resources between different applications. The term has since broadened. 

The use of AI in virtualization significantly increased in the early 2020s.

Uses 
AI-assisted virtualization software uses AI-related technology such as machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks to attempt to make more accurate predictions and decisions regarding the management of virtual environments. Features include intelligent automation, predictive analytics, and dynamic resource allocation.

 Intelligent Automation: Automating tasks such as resource provisioning and routine maintenance. The AI learns from ongoing operations and can predict and perform necessary tasks autonomously.
 Predictive Analytics: Utilizing AI to analyze data patterns and trends, predicting future issues or resource requirements. It aids in proactive management and mitigation of potential problems.
 Dynamic Resource Allocation: Through the analysis of real-time and historical data, the AI system dynamically assigns resources based on demand and need, optimizing overall system performance and reducing wastage.

AI-assisted virtualization software has been used in cloud computing to optimize the use of resources and reduce costs. In healthcare, these technologies have been used to create virtual patient profiles. They are also used in data centers to improve performance and energy efficiency. It has also been used in network function virtualization (NFV) to improve virtual network infrastructure.

Implementing this type of software requires a high degree of technological sophistication and can incur significant costs. There are also concerns about the risks associated with AI, such as algorithmic bias and security vulnerabilities. Additionally, there are issues related to governance, the ethics of artificial intelligence, and regulations of AI technologies.
