A couple feet long, rounded, relatively lightweight, and easy to make, this exploding drone can fly fast and attaches to a rucksack.
That's the basics of Hellhound, a loitering munition made by Cummings Aerospace based in Huntsville, Alabama. This kind of weapon features characteristics of both missiles and drones, delivering surveillance and strike in a single package.
The Hellhoud recently completed flight tests and a few demonstrations before being submitted to a top US Army drone competition. Earlier in the year, it was tested in the Army's Expeditionary Warrior Experiment 2025.
Loitering munitions are becoming more prolific and playing a role in conflicts like the war in Ukraine. As a turbojet-powered drone, the Hellhound is unlike many other loitering munitions. The top speed is nearly three times faster than the popular Switchblade made by AeroVironment.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Amazing.
Could one be built in one’s garage with ordinary parts, tools and skills?
Asking for a friend.
Comrade, who is this friend? We have ways of making you talk.
.
Oh, sorry! I don’t want to get on the wrong side of the law or nothin’!
My friend’s name is Jeffries. Hakeem Jeffries.
With AI assistance it can home in on any anal sphincter emitting Russian beer farts.
Pffffft ! BOOM !
3D printed, off the shelf components.
I suspect the only thing you’d have trouble getting is the payload module.
....why do those rogue judges suddenly come to mind?...
Radio Shack retired CEO: “We went out of business too soon. So many young guys would have wanted those. I still regret ordering so many cassette cleaners with fluid and Q-tips in 2017 and those darned DVD rewinders. Oh, well.”
Now make MILLIONS of them and saturate the Eastern and SouthEast fronts of Ukraine where moat of the Russians are. Anything g shows one hair on its *ss on the Russian side and it’s dead. Peace talks will ensue in short order.
Ha. They can run (awkwardly in those sissy robes and shiny dress shoes) but they can’t hide.
Loitering at 375 mph.
>> 3D printed, off the shelf components.
You ... er, I mean *my friend* can get a turbojet off-the-shelf? WHere?
>> you’d have trouble getting ... the payload module
My friend just wants to do a gender-reveal, so the payload would just be a pound or two of pink or blue confetti and maybe a CO2 canister. ;-)
Pretty sure the loitering phase is much slower.
Still, it’s only up for a few minutes. Which is long enough for a infantryman on the move.
As they all now must be.
Post the stls on Thingiverse
Houthis don’t wear shoes! Oh wait, you guys are talking about judges. Never mind. (Roseanne Roseannadanna voice)
too bad we didnt have any true patriot whackos running around!! with the tech today it would be easy...
IOW, it’s Uranis capable.
