.unmanned.stealth, takes flight.

www.cnn.com... and now we see the real 21st century war planes, ok the start of them. now will you believe?

Craig Brown, Boeing's Phantom Ray program manager said in a statement: "Autonomous, fighter-sized unmanned aircraft are real, and the UAS (unmanned airborne system) bar has been raised. Now I'm eager to see how high that bar will go."

f22? next step up.

Another step towards taking the man out of war. electronics warfare tech has definetly been taking some huge leaps.

Always been fascinated with drone tech. . .they always told me that tommorrow's wars would be fought with more computers than troops. I'm not a fan of war, but no matters the prameters of it's missions, at least there's no on board pilot to be lost.

Before long, with perfected voice recognistion technology, all anyone will have to do to program them is to just simply tell it where to go. Of course, i would need to see it's interpreted flight plan and tasks. Just to make sure, you know

As in "Hello bomb number nine."

Nice "Dark Star" reference.

Star

I heard that it was sent on a mission, but now they cant find it..... lol ?

Awesome looking craft.
Now I'm just waiting for SkyNet to become self aware.

I wonder if they are working on a pod to put in the bombbay that would let the thing drop people off behind the lines and stuff like that? it's a spooky looking little critter that's for sure !
