Malaysian plane: 20 passengers worked for ELECTRONIC WARFARE and MILITARY RADAR firm

A US technology company which had 20 senior staff on board Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 had just launched a new electronic warfare gadget for military radar systems in the days before the Boeing 777 went missing.

Freescale Semiconductor, which makes powerful microchips for industries including defence, released the powerful new products to the American market on March 3.

Five days later, Flight MH370 flew from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 people including 20 working for Freescale.

Twelve were from Malaysia eight were Chinese nationals.

Freescale’s spokesman Mitch Haws has said: “These were all people with a lot of experience and technical background and they were very important people.

“It’s definitely a loss for the company.”

Freescale’s shareholders include the Carlyle Group of private equity investors whose past advisers have included ex-US president George Bush Sr and former British Prime Minister John Major.

Carlyle’s previous heavyweight clients include the Saudi Binladin Group, the construction firm owned by the family of Osama bin Laden.

The fact that Freescale had so many highly qualified staff on board the Boeing 777 had already prompted wild conspiracy theories about what might have happened.

The company says they were flying to China to improve its consumer products operations, but Freescale’s fresh links to electronic warfare technology is likely to trigger more speculation and deepen the mystery.

Experts have been baffled how a large passenger jet seems to have flown undetected and possibly beaten military radar systems for up to six hours.

Avoiding radar via “cloaking technology” has long been one of the objectives of the defence industry and Freescale has been active developing chips for military radar.

On its website, the company says its radio frequency products meet the requirements for applications in “avionics, radar, communications, missile guidance, electronic warfare and identification friend or foe”.

Makes sense...

Please understand something: Patent “holder” != Patent “owner.” Patent “holders” have their name at the top of the Patent, and that’s all they get out of it, besides recognition within the company. See the difference? Furthermore, the vast majority of Freescale patent *holders* work in the US, in Austin (corporate HQ) and Tempe, AZ. Not KLM or Tianjin.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get my butt in gear and go to my lab, which is in one of the two US locations listed above.

You forget one thing. The radar used by commercial airlines is transponder based. Instead of transmitting a pulse and listening for an echo at the tower, they wait for the individual airplanes to broadcast their position and identity. Anyone wanting to disappear just shuts off the transponder. They can still be picked up using radar, but air traffic controllers probably wouldn’t notice it.
So, cloaking would not be used, but failing to transmit identifying signals would.

Probably the artists doing “ free-scale” not your average dawg!
From wiki
Xxxxx
Two-thirds of the 227 passengers are Chinese citizens, including a group of 19 artists with 6 family members and 4 staff returning from a calligraphy exhibition of their work in Kuala Lumpur; 38 passengers are Malaysian. The remaining passengers come from 13 different countries.[144] Of the total, 20 are employees of Freescale Semiconductor, a company based in Austin, Texas – 12 are from Malaysia and 8 from China.[145][146

Sorry - was trying to make someone laugh.

[hoosiermama]

Maybe its the calligraphers they wanted. Great for doing BC
the emporer of Japan after all got a Hawaiian BC just like 0. Or was that China
I got your drift. You weren’t too subtle. Obots try the same thing with me. I usually ignore THEM.

LOL ... nothin’ like the thick skin of a confident woman.

FYI

I know perfectly well how patents work. My BIL holds a couple of dozen of them

Almost asked if you were a company man before you let the cat out of the bag. Your bias shows.

Have a GOOD day!

[MarMema]

There was no malice intended. And actually I had trouble with
the name too at first. So it was in part self-directed.

[hoosiermama]

You betcha!

[Cyber Liberty]

I’ve only worked there for 30 years. I’ve avoided IDing the actual company, but this BS story sorta flushed me out. Bias? You betcha! Ta ta for now....

(If you know how patents work, why the conspiracy stories you knew were false?)

[MHGinTN]

Somewhere in Cheyenne Mtn there is a tapedigital tracing of radar tracings following the blip to its touchdown somewhere.

I had the good blessing of having been married to two of them, ‘in previous lives’.

Plenty of foreigners hold patents in the US.

Ping to # 30.

This report should dispel a rumor.

>>>>Four off them held 4/5 of the company’s patents the fifth part was owned by the company. - Upon their death guess who owns 100% of he patents?<<<<

"I can answer that. Freescale.

"If nobody were missing, who owns them? Freescale.

" Who owns 5/5 of the patents to which you refer? Freescale.

"The individuals are named on the patents, but the company "owns" them, and no "survivors" gets rich because 20 people are gone

"This is a non-issue. These 20 did not hold a huge number of the Freescale patents, anyway.

"That kind of R&D is done in the US. Where does this story come from? Well, today is bound to be pretty entertaining for me. I'll be lurking but I won't be able to comment much on this thread."

Also, check out # 40 and # 42.

It’s the auto speller in he phone. Type in one thing it spells what it wants.
He is a good example typed T he but for some reason it hanged it

Apology excepted Now lets get to work!

Have you checked out GAN airport. In path range and is only used seasonally for a spa resort

Still trying to find the information on the pilot. Was he on deck when a 777 made a record breaking trip a few years back? What’s the significance of the T shirt? Was he heading to US base for political asylum ?

There comment was not that they didn’t land there but that “we would have known it if they landed here!” What kind of a statement is that? Did they land at another of the WWII runways close to base?

Just throwing ideas out

[hoosiermama]

Because you were belittling co workers from another country

Read the thread at the top of the page — someone in your company values them

BTW. Do you hold numerous patents like they do?

[hoosiermama]

Lucky you!

[B4Ranch]

Did you investigate 9/11 this carefully?

[hoosiermama]

Didn’t we all. But remember the WALL that not only kept information from the American people but also those who should have been told in government.
