Not wanting to lose from China's increasingly buoyant produce sophisticated weapons, the United States complement his fleet with a number of advanced drone.One is a robotic aircraft tail that looks like a UFO - a flying saucer that sprawl on the edges. In the future, this aircraft is predicted to cause misunderstanding, people thought they had seen UFOs. The aircraft is scheduled to be placed into a U.S. aircraft carrier in 2013.
As a step to get there, the plane is named X-47b drone recently has made its maiden flight. To note is the drones are guided from the ground plane. In the battlefield, the use of these aircraft will minimize the risk of loss of life and intelligence support.
The U.S. Navy said, X-47b - are designed with features hidden by Northrop Grumman - more than just the first carrier-based aircraft drones, is also a test of the refueling platform independent without human assistance is targeted to be achieved by 2014. "The flight last week gives us a clear picture about the ability of an aerodynamic air system X-47b. This proves that all our predictions," said Janis Pamiljans, deputy program director for Northrop Grumman, as published by Space.com.
Flight test is also used to test the robotic navigation system, both hardware and software. Robotic brain is designed to help the X-47b flying and landing on aircraft carrier deck. Tests conducted did not include weapons demonstrations and sensir. However, there is no obvious reason why the X-47b is not intended to transport the weapons in the future.The U.S. military has demonstrated the deadly drone attacks, Reaper and the Predator in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan. The Navy has announced plans to use unmanned helicopters are armed.
Previously, the U.S. Military analysts say that the development of new weapons the U.S. is one step to balance the development of Chinese weaponry. Finally, China has developed missile destroyer aircraft carriers which proved successful in trials. "China's military modernization is a long-term threat that the U.S. must be prepared to make the Asia-Pacific region, improving the ability of robotics, air and land weapons," said Patrick Cronin, senior analyst for New American Security agency.
