Europe isn’t fairly as securely on the bleeding edge of UAVs as the US. Northrop Grumman and EADS-run Cassidian just brought the continent one action more detailed with the initial complete evaluate air travel of Euro Hawk. A brand-new take on the International Hawk HALE with a new objective system from Cassidian, it ought to be the continent’s initial military UAV that mates both long air travel durations with high elevation: the two partners expect Euro Hawk to gather strategic intelligence from up to 60,000 feet and for as long as 30 hours before it has to touch down. There’s more screening to go previously active service starts– the initial air travel only lasted eight hours, for instance– however the unmanned leaflet must at some point keep watch over German soldiers and areas well past the restrictions of human stamina.

As you will certainly have been unable to stay clear of seeing, the unmanned aircraft most definitely inherited a couple of the RQ-4 Universal Hawk’s dome-like DNA, and will certainly outline towards active service after finishing useful requirement evaluations and system progression and exhibition flights.

Instead Of Booth Babes, Northrop Grumman Has Gun Bots

It’s a well-established tradition at tech conventions, where nerds like us abound, to stock one’s booth with beautiful women — “come for the girls, stay for the iPod cases” seems to be the idea, and in general it works. But how do you attract the attention of highly-disciplined Lieutenants and cold-hearted strategists? Why, a robot with a .50-cal, of course.

That’s Northrop Grumman’s approach, anyway. At the Association of the U.S. Army con in Washington, they’ve showing off a CaMEL packbot with a .50 caliber machine gun controlled remotely by a touchscreen. Of course, like a booth babe, it’s a trick. Wait, that came out wrong. It’s a ruse.

NG doesn’t actually make these things: “Quite frankly, a weapon on a robot brings people into the booth,” says Jon Anderson, who ran the booth. But will they ever? Apparently, the army just hasn’t bought into it yet. Chances are it’s a bit difficult to fit one of these things into the order of battle. And they look pretty heavy; if they break down, you’ll need a non-weaponized one just to carry the first one out.

It’s only a matter of time, though. That’s it for us humans.
