The Future
Some interesting developments this week on the future tech side. The RAF unveiled a new UCAV which appears to have a much more flexible operational role and range to the Raptor, possibly even intercontinental. It looks strangely similar to the UCAV in the film Stealth. Flight tests next year so watch this space.
Also announced this week is a kevlar coated unmanned surveilance airship. Able to stay aloft for 3 weeks and capable of withstaning small arms fire.
I find this stuff fascinating. Particularly interested to see what the new UCAV is capable of. Both machines require a remote operator but I wonder how long until there is some AI controled machines developed.
