Are you sure this was a DARPA project?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure this was a DARPA project??Sometimes folks make good decisions... Pretty neat capabilities - and you know that if they are releasing info on it now, there's probably something better available (or they downplayed it's capability) that's already deployed...

Stang70Fastback Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 This is some fantastic cinematography, and also an INCREDIBLY eerie film. Those long shots of the front of the aircraft - particularly of the intake. It's like it's sitting there. Watching. Analyzing. Plotting... Waiting.

kzr750r1 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 What being at war this long will do... Fund creativity. But what is it protecting? The common man, not likely. We fund this machine for others greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Drones like that one have been around for quite some time.... most countries have versions of things like that. The predator gets lots of attention, but it's by no means the only thing out there. For combat they make a lot of sense - why risk a live pilot when you don't have to?

SBT Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 This is some fantastic cinematography, and also an INCREDIBLY eerie film. Those long shots of the front of the aircraft - particularly of the intake. It's like it's sitting there. Watching. Analyzing. Plotting... Waiting. Some of the most dangerous 4.5 acres of real estate you'll find anywhere. That they can not only recover a UAV on that deck, but then maneuver it for storage, and reposition it for launch, from thousands of miles away, is quite a technical accomplishment. Kudos to the home team. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, they can be designed to a much higher G-load performance factor that would completely wipe-out a human pilot were they to be strapped into it. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
