3 advancements
long distance
ground control communications
higher altitudes
ground control communications
higher altitudes
More firebird stuff
c.) piloted or ground control operated
d.) up to 30,000ft
e.) task: Spying, intelligence, for multiple hours simultaneously; payload is 1,230 lbs
f.) Propeller powered
g.) communicates with ground control base
h.) data collected goes to base, or stored on a universal interface tool that easily docks with computers and other systems.
j.) The official demo is scheduled at the Empire Challenge, held by the U.S. Joint Forces Command in Arizona, May 23 – June 3, 2011.
k.) world weaponry technological called for more intelligent machines
l.) surveillance tech
m.) it ability to house a pilot in the cockpit could allow the aircraft to operate in civilian airspace, a restriction typically placed on all unmanned air vehicles
