This thesis explores the strategic impact of human systems integration (HSI) developments on Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) technology to increase autonomy. A focus on HSI reveals strategic considerations to rethink the use of the Air Force's preferred organizational construct for the acquisitions. Considering the working relationship of the RPA community as it exists today, and identifying the potential drivers of increasing autonomy, provide for an alternate acquisitions model. Specifically, anticipated strategy motivates a technological development sequences towards two thrusts of effort. The first pertains to technologies that enhance platform-centric RPA autonomy. These innovations facilitate the ability of an individual machine to self-monitor critical functions and to devise its own missions. The second thrust encompasses the technologies that will enable a platform to contribute to RPA network objectives.

AfroCentric Cultural Sankofa writes...... This is a very interesting study, on the origins of Blacks in ancient China. The evidence shows, that Black Afrikans who founded the civilization in China were Li-Min "Black Headed People" - by the Zhou dynast- Babylonion called them. Sag-Gig- Ga "bhp". One of the lengendary chinese emperors Fu- Hsi (son of heaven) was a wooley hair black man who originated in the oracle of the I Ching- or the book of change. Also be aware of the true origins of martial arts, karate, kick boxing and wrestling originated from. And it's not where we have been lead to believe. Imhotep also had wall carvings illustrated in his tomb displaying wrestling holds any many other fighting technics. This clearly is proof how far back Kemetic arts goes. Original people of India were Afrikan. The latin word India comes from the greek word (Indus) which means black. Afrikans Ethiopians called Dravidians (Afro-Australoids) founded Indus Valley Civilization 3000 yrs B.C. Restoring spiritual sciences that originated in afrika.- yoga, kun dalini and reflexology. Hero Di-Yuhai - chinese medicine uses the logic of ancient Egyptians (Kemetic) who view the universal process. Where there is no boundaries between ; rest-motion, time-space, mind-matter, sickness and health. Chinese view reality as a unified field or interwoven pattern of inseperable links to a circular chain called Tao. Whick all emotion , events in nature, sound and climate and energy flows. After reading, hopefully you can come to a agreement that..... Afrikans are the blueprint and all others are a mere variation of the originals. Thus we are all linked by this connection. It's simple........we are All a product of..... "AfroCentric Culture By Design". ************************ BLACK CHINESE DYNASTIES A recent international study carried out by Shanghai scientists and international academics has confirmed that the Chinese did not originate from Peking Man in northern China, but from Black East Afrikans who migrated through South Asia to China some 100,000 years ago. The people of that era practiced the Afrikan ritual of single burials, and the skeletal remains from Southern China clearly shown them to be Negroid. Jin Li of Fudan University in Shanghai along with an international research team comprised of Russians, Indians, Brazilians and researchers from other nations, have found that modern humans evolved from a single Afrikan origin as opposed to the multiple origins theory still accepted by some experts. These findings therefore challenge the theory held that different groups of humans evolved separately at the same time in diverse locations around the world. School textbooks in China have been teaching that the Chinese race evolved from Peking Man , but Shanghai scientists and international researchers have dismissed this theory after discovering that early human families evolved in East Afrika some 150,000 years ago. This claim is based on the DNA analyses of 100,000 samples collected from around the world, which prove that the 65 branches of the Chinese race share similar DNA mutations with the people of East and Southeast Asia, and have originated in Afrika. Micro-satellites or bits of DNA which are short, repeating pieces of DNA that provide information about the genetic variation among people were examined, and they revealed that all Chinese have a great deal in common genetically. This recent research nullifies the theory that Peking Man was the ancestor of the Chinese people and also dispels the Chinese myth and beliefs once held by modern Chinese scholars that the Chinese race had descended from the Yellow Emperor, and evolved separately from other the races. These findings also add more weight to the Afrikan concept that all human life began in Black Afrika from one race, which was the original and aboriginal Black Afrikan race from the tropical regions of Afrika, in particular the Omo region of Ethiopia. Archaeology and forensic tests confirm that China's first two important dynasties, the Xia and the Shang/ Chang, were Black Afrikan, with an Australoid type known as the Madras Indian present in smaller percentages. The Black Afrikan race is therefore the only original and pure race that exists today; all other so-called races are mere variations of this original Negritic race. Besides, the appearance of other races is a recent occurrence in world history, taking place after the migrations of Blacks from Afrika into Europe and Asia, some 40,000 to 50,000 years ago. These Black, original, oriental people of China were known in historical literature as Negro, Austroloid or Oceanean by the Europeans, however, not a single shred of evidence concerning the thousands of years of Black occupation in China can be found in any Chinese Museum, - except for a few Chinese documents which report that some major kingdoms there were ruled by Blacks until around 1000-700 BC. However, these facts are recorded in the Afrikan, East Indian and Black-American history books. Africoid people from Kush in Afrika began entering China and Central Asia via Iran while other groups reached China by sea. This two migration route of Blacks to China led to the development of the southern Chinese branches of Africoids called Yi, li-man Yueh and Man , while the northern Chinese branches of Africoids were called Kui-shuang (Kushana) or Yueh-chih . Blacks also lived in Turkestand, Mongolia, Transoxiana, the Ili region and Xinjiang Province, in addition to the Yueh Tribes along the north east coastal region. By the way Afrika has the tallest and shortest people in the world, and the so-called Asian or slanted eye is a trait which came from the Afrikans. This facial type is typical Negritic, with the eyes that seem to slant , representing a common, racial characteristic generally found in West Africa, the Sahara and in South Africa among the Kong-San Bushmen (right) and other Africans. The Kong-San people are one of the most ancient pure Afrikan groups on earth. The features of the Kong-san (left) include Mongoloid eyes , high cheekbones, small stature, very kinky hair and brown to yellow-brown complexion, but, these Kong-sans and a number of groups in Southern Africa with similar features have not mixed with Asians of any other race, but remain pure African Blacks. The earliest occupants of Asia were described as small Black pygmies , and Chinese historians also described the Fou Nanese people of China as small and Black . The Ainus , Japan's oldest known inhabitants traditionally refer to a race of Black dwarfs who inhabited Japan long before they did. The Ainus people originated in Black Egypt and are recorded as having made large migrations to the Asian continent, taking with them thousands of years of Afrikan-Egyptian knowledge and influence. These migrations would explain the existence of man-made pyramids in China and Japan which were built by Afrikans of the Nile Valley, of which the Chinese have no idea as to how they got there. China's pyramids are located near Siang Fu city in the Shensi province. The Japanese pyramids were built during the time of Mu, were made of stones not indigenous to Japan and are often mistaken for hills because of their eroded appearances. The three major empires (first civilizations) of China were the Xia Dynasty (c.2205-1766 B.C), the Shang/ Yin Dynasty founded by the Yi tribe headed by the Afrikan-Mongolian King T'ang, or Ta (c.1700-1050 B.C), and the Zhou Dynasty , the first dynasty founded by the Mongoloid people in China called Hua (pronounced Who-aa) . The founders of Xia and Shang came from Afrika via Iran, and according to Prof. Shun-sheng Ling , the earliest documented ruler ship of China known as the Xia and Shang dynasties, were governed by emperors called Xuan Di or Black Emperors , who introduced farming and writing to China. Under their leadership, trade cities and travel developed, and by 3500 B.C., Blacks in China were raising silkworms to make silk. The fundamental structures of a stylish calligraphy which is still present today was perfected by the Chinese under this Black dynasty, but in addition to writing, the Blacks of the Xia and Shang dynasties introduced bronze working to China and invented the pounded earth architecture associated with early Chinese city-states. These Black Afrikans also took the art of fighting known today as the martial arts, (Tai Chi, Kung fu, Judo and Tae Kwon Do and so on), developed in the Horn of Afrika into China. (This is a picture of Teguai, the Black martial artist , from china's golden period around 1000 A.D.) In other words, the martial arts originated in AFRIKA, not Asia, and it was the ancient Kemetics (Black Egyptians) who discovered very early that the movements of animals could be used effectively to develop their fighting skills . They also incorporated the concept that "animal principles" could be isolated within the consciousness and manifested into an unconquerable fighting force. Inside the tomb of Imhotep are stone wall carvings of warrior scientists displaying a number of wrestling holds, kicking, throwing, punching and other fighting techniques . Also inscribed in the Tombs of many Kemetic (Egyptian) Governors who lived 4,200 years ago, are diagrams of more than 500 pairs of wrestlers and other warriors demonstrating weapons usage including the lance and short sticks. This diagram shows a section of the wrestling and martial arts moves that were sketched into an ancient Egyptian tomb wall of Governors at Mahez or Beni Hasan , some 2800 years before the birth of Christ. This type of wrestling was copied and practiced by the ancient Greeks and is still practiced in Nubia and West Africa today. These carvings constitute the ancient records and laid the foundation of the world's first martial arts system. Furthermore, these Black Egyptians had developed an understanding of the vital energy of the soul called chi in Chinese, ki in Japanese and ka in the netjer writing of ancient Kemet. The martial arts practice presently recognized as Chinese started around 500 CE under the influence of a Black Dravidian and Buddhist Priest from India, named Bodhidharma . Also known as Dharuma in the Japanese archives, Bodhidharma founded Zen Buddhism in China and taught the monks at the Shaolin Temple a set of exercises, movements, and breathing techniques which became known as the Shaolin ch'uan fa, temple boxing , or the 18 Hands of Lo Han , which formed the foundation of Chinese Shaolin Kung-fu and Japanese Karate. Afrikans on the continent still practice their own ancient martial arts styles, and continued practicing even when enslaved in the Western Hemisphere. This tradition continues to thrive in the Black Brazilian martial arts style called Capoeira . “A Samurai, to be brave, must have a little Black blood" . The first Chinese emperor, the legendary Fu-Hsi , (Son of Heaven) 2953-2838 B.C., was a woolly haired Black man who is said to have originated the oracle of the I Ching, or The Book of Change, which is the oldest most revered system of prophecy and known to have influenced the most eminent philosophers of Chinese medicine and thought. Ancient Chinese medicine dates back to the Shang Dynasty founded by the Afrikan King T'ang around 1500-1000 B.C. The Shang (Chiang) and the Chou dynasties were credited with bringing together the elements of Chinese medical concepts. The Shang was given the name of Nakhi. Na means Black, Khi means man . Many of the great principles of Chinese medical science compiled during the Shang period were later developed during the Han Dynasty (168 B.C. to 8 A.D.), which began to fuse Shang medical concepts with views from the philosophical ideas of Confucius (551-479 B.C.). In this way a system was produced which explained all phenomena in relation to the whole, and under this system, everything including the human body and the organs were organized within the system of "Yin" and "Yang," and the "five elements", or what is also known as the five phases theory. Buy the latest electronic gadgets from China at wholesale prices. DigiCams, Mobile phones, Surveillance equipment,etc. Chinese medicine uses the logic of the Ancient Egyptians who viewed the universe as process-oriented where no boundaries between rest and motion, time and space, mind and matter, sickness and health exist. The Chinese looked at reality as a unified field or an interwoven pattern of inseparable links in a circular chain called the Tao, from which all things and events in nature such as the seasons, colour, sound, organs, tissue, emotion, climate, matter and energy flowed. The culture hero Huang Di , whose name was pronounced in old Chinese as Yuhai Huandi or Hu Nak Kunte , shows a link directly out of Afrika. He arrived in China from the west around 2282 BC, and settled along the banks of the Loh River in Shanxi. This transliteration of Huan Di, to Hu Nak Kunte should be of interest to Black people who should recognise that Kunte is a common clan name among the Manding speakers. These Black Afrikans who founded civilization in China were often called Li Min "Black headed people" by the Zhou dynasts, which is similar to the Sumero-Akkadian / Babylonian term Sag- Gig-Ga also meaning "Black headed people." Currently, Blacks are very rare in China because of the genocide of blending the races, which may be a racist tool applied there and throughout the world to eliminate the Black skin. (Add a cup of milk to jet Black coffee and see if you can still identify the Blackness.) This is exactly what took place in Argentina, a nation which had more Blacks than whites during the 1700's, and it also occurred in Mexico and most parts of Latin America, where the Blacks are still severely oppressed. In sections of North Afrika, the Middle East and Southern Europe, the genocide of mixing was successful in eliminating all the Black populations from these regions except in India, where the racist caste system preserved the purest of India's original Black Negros to this day. These include the Black Dalit or Untouchables (Negro-Australoids) who were kept segregated and isolated for thousands of years by the Indo-European invaders who migrated from Central Asia/North-Eastern Europe. The original or first people of India were also Black Afrikans , in fact, the Latin word India comes from the Greek word Indus (Indos) which means Black . These Black Afrikans, many of whom came from Ethiopia and called Dravidians (afro-Australoids) , founded the great Indus Valley Civilization around 3000 B.C., bringing many spiritual sciences that originated in Afrika like Yoga, Kundalini and Reflexology with them. Also, being masters of urban planning and architecture, their homes and cities had running water, toilets, and an underground sewage system as seen at the Mohenjo Daro ruins around 2000 B.C. It is also believed that the Ganges, the sacred river of India, was named after an Ethiopian king by that name who conquered Asia up to this river. Buddha , Krishna , (two of the world's best known Black deities outside of the western world) , the great King Asoka and other great Black sages emerged from these successive civilizations. But in the western world nothing is mentioned that India was once a part of the great Black Ethiopian Empire , but this is verified in the Ethiopian sacred text known as The Kebra Negast which regarded West India as a part of the Ethiopian or Kushite Empire. In biblical times, Afrika included much of what European maps refer to as the Middle East, but it was the European mapmakers who determined that regions on the top of Afrika should be divided, based on distances from Europe to the Near East, Middle East and Far East . The name Afrika was imposed on this great continent by European explorers who have this knack for renaming and degrading everything they come across to suit themselves. A replica of an ancient Chinese map which included a recognizable outline of Afrika was made public in November 2002 in South Afrika's Parliament. This Map of the Great Ming Empire Da Ming Hun Yi Tu which dates back to 1389, was created decades before the first European voyages to Afrika , but this presents another problem, as European scientists could not explain how the Chinese possessed such a map that was dated decades before Europeans had sailed to Afrika. The normal response when something surfaces in an area that cannot be linked back to Europe, their scientists will come up with some statement like, "We have our team of experts working on that." This is a carefully constructed drawback which suggests that everything documented in history is supposed to be measured to and from Europe, - a baby civilization. http://members.tripod.com/jrmoore1958/chinese.html

In 1898 a young Englishman walked into a homosexual brothel in Peking and began a journey that he claims took him all the way to the bedchamber of imperial China's last great ruler, the Empress Dowager Tz'u Hsi. Published now for the first time, Décadence Mandchoue, the controversial memoirs of sinologist Sir Edmund Backhouse, provides a unique and shocking glimpse into the hidden world of China's imperial palace, with its rampant corruption, grand conspiracies and uninhibited sexuality. Backhouse was made notorious by Hugh Trevor-Roper's 1976 bestseller, Hermit of Peking, which accused Backhouse of fraudulence and forgery. Décadence Mandchoue, written shortly before the author's death, lay for decades forgotten and unpublished in the Bodleian Library at Oxford University, dismissed by Trevor-Roper as nothing more than "a pornographic novelette." But Décadence Mandchoue is much more than that. Alternately shocking and lyrical, it is the masterwork of a linguistic genius, a tremendous literary achievement and a sensational account of the inner workings of the Manchu dynasty in the years before its collapse in 1911. If true, Backhouse's chronicle completely reshapes our understanding of the era, and provides an account of the Empress Dowager and her inner circle that can only be described as intimate.
