Here is a report about a solar powered drone capable of staying aloft for 90 days at a time:
Using drones like this, eventually Skynet will be capable of continuous surveillance of the entire planet. Does that make you feel any safer? I especially like this claim:
"There are certainly differentiated missions that Skydweller can do that no other aircraft can do, but the core of it really is doing things that we do today better, smarter, cheaper, more effectively," Parkes said. "And that is communications - being a node in the sky, whether for the military and first responder market or for the telecom world."
I'm fairly certain the chief "first responder" response may be the launching of a Hellfire missile or the equivalent (the drone could carry 8 of them), but I could be wrong.
In any event, I'm just thrilled. How about you? Do you feel undersurveilled or in need of faster communications?
