Everyone keeps wondering what this little guy does, I think the answer lies in the name and history of whom it is operated by.

The Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office...

One of their primary missions is counter-terrorism, the other is combat support and weapon systems development.

They say they ain’t weaponizing space, to that I say yeah... whatever.

I’ll bet one or more astronauts in space suits could fit in it’s cargo bay in an emergency evacuation to be taken back to Earth safely.

I’ll also bet something that small, stuck on top of a standard class of rocket, could be prepared and launched very fast, in an emergency.
