U.S. Develops New Reconnaissance Drones

The U.S. has developed three new unmanned next-generation reconnaissance aircraft.

A secret test flight of the newest drone, dubbed Global Observer, was completed at the Edwards Air Force Base. It can survey "an area larger than Afghanistan -- at a single glance... at a stratosphere-skimming 65,000 feet," the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

The U.S. media and military cheered, calling it a weapon that will completely change the aspect of the battlefield.

Global Observer
Global Observer, which is produced by AeroVironment for about US$30 million, is completely different from previous unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the daily added.

Unlike the propeller-driven Predator and Reaper drones, the jet-propelled Global Observer is capable of flying at 65,000 feet, out of range of most antiaircraft missiles.

"Current spy planes can stay airborne for only about 30 hours," the paper said, but Global Observer is capable of flying for days at a time. It has a wingspan almost the size of a Boeing 747's.

The drone can survey about 660,000 sq. km -- about three times the size of the Korean Peninsula. The Pentagon called it an "unblinking eye" over the war zone.

Two other unmanned spy aircraft, Northrop's X-47B and Boeing's Phantom Ray, will also be tested soon. The X-47B equipped with laser missiles can be launched from an aircraft carrier. The stealth Phantom Ray will help U.S. fighter jets carry out missions over enemy territory safely.

One of the reasons this country is going down is because we can't shut the fuck up!
See how the Chinese built their super-craft before "debuting" it? We would have gone the Ford/GM way and announced to the world that we are making it. This is supposed to be used for clandestine operations, why the fuck announce it to the world? You think terrorists don't read or we just assume they're stupid?
Cot fucking dayum, shut the fuck up till after the fact!

 

[smokedacane]

no.

They are planning to put more drones and uav's over American cities. It's amazing how American citizens have also become the "enemy"

I understand what you're sayin' but none of that really means anything when da US has tech that has been in existence for 10-20 years or more.

Drone may be coming to Miami-Dade


DORAL, Fla. (WSVN) -- A new piece of technology may soon be coming to South Florida, but is already raising concerns from residents.
The Miami-Dade Police Department recently finalized a deal to buy a drone, which is an unmanned plane equipped with cameras. Drones have been used for years in Iraq and Afghanistan in the war against terror.
Many residents are concerned that the new technology will violate their privacy.
MDPD purchased a drone named T-hawk from defense firm Honeywell to assist with the department's Special Response Team's operations. The 20-pound drone can fly for 40 minutes, reach heights of 10,500 feet and cruise in the air at 46 miles an hour. "It gives us a good opportunity to have an eye up there. Not a surveilling eye, not a spying eye. Let's make the distinction. A surveilling eye to help us to do the things we need to do, honestly, to keep people safe," said Miami-Dade Police Director James Loftus.
The ACLU is one of the organizations that is concerned about the drone that may soon be coming to Miami-Dade County. Howard Simon, the executive director of the ACLU of Florida approves of the drones but also advocates strict regulation of the drones. "Technology: there's no reason not to embrace technology if it makes the streets safer, if it helps the police. The concern is, though, that every new technology also has within it the capacity to threaten people's privacy," he said.
Terrorism expert Douglas Haas, however, believes that the drones will help in many ways, including fighting crime. "This has unlimited capabilities," said Haas. "Not only is it good tactically for a SWAT call out or any tactical situation, there's numerous search and rescue applications for it after a hurricane. They could send one of these up fast and assess damage."
Residents have also questioned whether or not Miami-Dade Police can afford to purchase the drone, especially since the department has recently made a lot of budget cuts. "Nothing happens quickly in the purchasing process, and that's something that really was in place, the funds for that, a couple of years ago," Loftus said.
The purchase of the drone may have been made possible through a federal grant; however, this has not been confirmed.
Honeywell has applied to the FAA for clearance to fly the drone in urban areas. This has never been allowed before, but if it does happen, the Miami-Dade Police Department will be the first police agency in the US to use the technology.

My good fellow do you realize that the Clinton and Bush administrations sold military tech secrets to China?

Six months ago, the Bush administration quietly eased some restrictions on the export of sensitive technologies to China. The new approach was intended to help American companies increase sales of high-tech equipment to China despite tight curbs on sharing technology that might have military applications.

But today the administration is facing questions from weapons experts about whether some equipment — newly authorized for export to Chinese companies deemed trustworthy by Washington — could instead end up helping China modernize its military. Equally worrisome, the weapons experts say, is the possibility that China could share the technology with Iran or Syria.

The technologies include advanced aircraft engine parts, navigation systems, telecommunications equipment and sophisticated composite materials.

This...The DOD needs to keep that budget plush and healthy..

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

People still believe in the whole Terrorism BS...might as well keep the lie going.


The thread title along with our military budget are both hilarious.

The funny thing is the fact that all these advanced technologies/war machines are really meant for the oppressed people of the world, not the "evil doers".
