US Testing New $150 Million Drone Aboard USS George H.W.Bush

The Navy completed an Unmanned Carrier Aviation Demonstration (UCAD) of its MQ-25 unmanned air system prototype in December aboard USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), laying the groundwork for future carrier-based UAS operations.

The MQ-25 will be the world’s first operational, carrier-based unmanned aircraft and is integral to the Air Wing of the Future Family of Systems (AWotF FoS). Its initial operating capability (IOC) as an aerial refueling tanker will extend the range, operational capability and power projection of the carrier air wing (CVW) and carrier strike group (CSG). GHWB is operating in the Atlantic Ocean in support of naval operations to maintain maritime stability and security in order to ensure access, deter aggression and defend U.S., allied and partner interests.

The Russian-made Sukhoi Su-57 could soon be operational in foreign skies as recent reports suggest that international customers have expressed interest in the fifth-generation fighter. The Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation has reportedly received a number of requests from foreign customers for the Su-57E export version of the multirole fighter currently entering service with the Russian Air Force. It was developed for air superiority and strike operations and can take out all types of air, ground and sea targets. The twin-engine single-seat fighter jet is also the first Russian aircraft to feature stealth technologies, including the use of composite materials and an extensive aerodynamic configuration, which ensures a low level of radar and infrared signature. The Su-57 is also capable of developing supersonic cruise speeds. Source : MegaTech
