Interested in combat? Video: DARPA's New Amphibious Tank Prototype Drives On Water. Meet CAAT (for Captive Air Amphibious Transporter).
The prototype vehicle is basically like a tank with treads made out of air-filled pontoons, enabling it to roll over water (and obstacles in the water) with Abrams-like efficiency and continue its forward march once it hits shore. Perhaps the coolest thing about the video below: this is a 1/5 scale demonstrator.
I Am Warplane. View Photo Gallery On a clear day early next year, an unmanned aircraft painted in the dark gull gray of a Navy fighter jet will take off from a runway at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, bank over the Chesapeake Bay and set a course toward an aircraft carrier, motoring several miles out over the Atlantic.
As it approaches the carrier, the craft will open communication with air-traffic control, request landing clearance from the deck officers and establish a glide slope that accounts for wind velocity, ship speed and even the slight rolling of the ship's deck. Pilots consider a carrier landing one of the hardest operations in all of flight. The X-47B will land without any pilot at all. The X-47B is the world's first autonomous warplane. The X-47B is also a big step forward in robotic flight. Outside of flight, man-on-the-loop systems are becoming increasingly common. Lockheed Martin's 'Flying Humvee' Concept Gets a Lift from the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. "Weight is the number one challenge," says Kevin Renshaw, program manager for Lockheed Martin's Transformer development team.
He says it like he's designing a better golf club or a faster race car, simply tweaking something that's otherwise a foregone conclusion. Actually, he says, weight is the number one problem after cost, which is difficult to contain when you're trying to invent science fiction from scratch on a tight timetable. His team has designs to address the weight concerns, he says. Executing them within realistic budget constraints is another thing. Lockheed's design, like that of the other development team pursuing the Transformer contract at AAI Corp. It's a good time to conduct a little PR. "The car portion is pretty straightforward," Renshaw says of his team's design, which relies on two huge turbo-shaft fans and folding wings fixed to a turret atop the cab to provide the lift and thrust for the vehicle in flight. DEFCON. The defense readiness condition (DEFCON) is an alert state used by the United States Armed Forces.[1] The DEFCON system was developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and unified and specified combatant commands.[2] It prescribes five graduated levels of readiness (or states of alert) for the U.S. military, and increase in severity from DEFCON 5 (least severe) to DEFCON 1 (most severe) to match varying military situations.[1] DEFCONs are a subsystem of a series of Alert Conditions, or LERTCONs, that also includes Emergency Conditions (EMERGCONs).[3] There is no single DEFCON status for the country, and in fact different branches of the military can be at different levels of DEFCON at the same time.
Levels[edit] DEFCONs vary between many commands and have changed over time,[2] and the United States Department of Defense uses exercise terms when referring to the DEFCONs.[5] This is to preclude the possibility of confusing exercise commands with actual operational commands.
