Some bad news for China.
We need high-power lasers on ships yesterday.
Designed to function as a maritime version of the Air Force’s Global Hawk surveillance plane, the Triton is designed for high-altitude, long-dwell ISR missions - the kind of technology suited for the geographically dispersed Pacific theater.

The word “drone” used to mean what we now have to call “autonomous drone”.
What we now call “drone” is really “remote controlled aircraft”.
A true drone is on its own. There is nobody controlling it. At least, that was the meaning before about 20 years ago.
High Altitude Maritime...? So it only works above water? Or is it a shallow water (upper zone of the ocean) drone? /s
If this system is supposed to provide surveilance of the Pacific, can one Triton do it? I doubt it, it will probably take a fleet of ‘em. Turn a globe with the Pacific facing you, and half the earth is ocean.
The future is here. They can be efficient and devastating with no worry of a pilot.
Remind me of when the Terminators are coming.
That is one cool looking jet-powered, ground launched and recovered, high/low altitude, long-winged, re-usable satellite they got there.
The kids today got it good. As toys go, that's one of the best I've seen. Sure wish I had something like that to play with when I was a kid.
It easily beats that Estes rocked with the camera. No contest whatsoever.
Where’s the weapons?
A Hell Fire won’t sink a destroy.
Just saying.
5.56mm
Do you think it is DOS 3.1? I really liked that.
