7 Of The Best Futuristic Unmanned Military Aircraft

I found something that interesting in Military Technology related to unmanned Military Aircraft that i want to share with all. Unmanned military aircraft is consider  a new technology in military today. I believe that, this technology will be used by 3 most powerful country in the world!USA, Rusia and China! In fact, today we may be don't know that these 3 countries had already own it!

The strength of the country not rely depending on the number of military asset, weapon and army that owned by the country. In world military today, technology is the most weighted criteria in measuring the strength their military. Technology in military would contribute the asset or weapon to the highest effective and efficient. 

Malaysia in term of Military technology is far behind other. In fact, Singapore and Indonesia is better than us. However, we hope and pray God give the highest protection to our loved country 

Below is a list of 7 Unmanned aircraft that are expected to enter service within the next 10 years. Check it Out!

7. Northrop Grumman X-47B

The aircraft can be remotely controlled by ground operators and has so far cost upwards of $813 million. It is also one of the four competitors for the U.S. Navy’s Unmanned Carrier-Launched Surveillance and Strike System (UCLASS). The winning aircraft is due to be launched in 2019.

6. Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton

It looks like a beluga whale but is designed for maritime surveillance, to analyze battle damage and relay communications. It made its first test flight in May 2013 and will be able to cover huge distances because of its 28-hour flight endurance and maximum speeds of 357 mph

5. Boeing Phantom Ray

This aircraft was more or less a secret until May 2009, with only a handful of company executives knowing anything about it. With top speeds of mach 0.85 and a range of 1,500 miles, the aircraft is capable of suppressing air defenses, aerial refueling, surveillance and electronic attack.

4. Northrop Grumman MQ-8C Fire-X

 It is hoped that this aircraft will be ready for action in 2014. It has the honor of being the first unmanned helicopter to land on a moving ship, which was traveling at 17 mph at the time. It will primarily be used for reconnaissance and support, but does come equipped with Griffin missiles, guided rockets and Hellfire missiles.

  

3. Lockheed Martin Sea Ghost

It’s a stealth bomber lookalike, but is capable of strike missions, surveillance and reconnaissance, and able to carry a 1,000-pound weapon. The highly technical aircraft, says Lockheed, can be operated by a single operator and will be able to operate in any environment. It’s due for limited service in 2018.

2. Boeing Phantom Eye

Endurance is the name of the game for this odd-looking surveillance aircraft – it can spend up to four days in the air and reach altitudes of 65,000 feet, rendering it invisible to the naked eye. It’s fueled only by liquid hydrogen, which also makes it a clean aircraft as its only byproduct is water. While it's billed as a surveillance aircraft, the Navy did ask Boeing to fit an unnamed payload onto the demo model.

1. Boeing Insitu RQ-21 Integrator

It looks like a model aircraft and is launched by pneumatic slingshot, which means it can be deployed without the need for runways or aircraft carriers. It will primarily be used as a scout aircraft that will be linked to other unmanned aircraft. Currently in small initial production, the aircraft is expected to move into full production shortly.
