DARPA Falcon. Et prosjekt som ikke funker
DARPA: Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency. Jeg finner det særdeles vanskelig å tro på dette. Det er jo akkurat demonstrert at en UAV har observert forberedelsen til en Israelsk/US øvelse, så totoalt luftherredømme over hele kloden fremtrer for undertegnede som en farse. Dersom det er riktig det som fremkommer under, hva skal Norge med 52 fly til en milliard kr. stykket? Er det bare amerikansk virkelighetsfjern "we are the gratest" stuff overfor en engere krets under en frokost?
Der røyk visumet mitt til USA gitt......
Darpa’s New Director Wants to Keep the Skies Under US Control
The U.S. has total dominance of the skies above planet Earth, a defence budget five times as large as its nearest competitor, and a fleet of robotic aircraft and advanced manned planes.
The newest leader of the Pentagon’s blue-sky researchers says the U.S. is more vulnerable than it thinks in the skies. Maintaining America’s air supremacy may be about to become a top priority for the agency that helped give the world the Predator.
Arati Prabhakar has kept a low profile since returning to Darpa on July 30 as its director. But in her first public speech since returning to the agency she left two decades ago as a program manager, Prabhakar mused on a subject outside her background in applied physics and clean energy: air power.
“We’re starting to think about how we maintain the level of control we have in the air domain, as a cornerstone of how we think about warfighting,” Prabhakar said in response to a question from Danger Room at a defense-industry breakfast Friday in northern Virginia. She’s going to get along awesomely with the U.S. Air Force.
