I cannot get enough of this video and the music! Admiral Tim Heely, longtime friend was the PEO at Pax River, Maryland: the conversion to the air craft carrier environment from land based drone environment. WHAT IS THE MUSIC? SHAZAM CANNOT TELL ME!
The X-47B is completely autonomous. Unlike remotely piloted vehicles like Global Hawk and Predator, the X-47B (and its sister from Boeing, the X-45C) are flown completely by software onboard the aircraft. Humans plan the mission on the ground, but the aircraft executes the flight plan autonomously. (I was chief architect on the software side of the DARPA project that created these 2 aircraft.)
Very-very hard to believe that the crew would just stand around on the deck like that with a huge monster of a plane coming towards you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yep X-box for sure
I spent four years on a carrier deck and after a few months it becomes second nature. You just have an abundance of situational awareness. Especially during night ops.
The only orbital launch of Buran occurred at 3:00 UTC on 15 November 1988 it landed only 3 metres (9.8 ft) laterally and 10 metres (33 ft) longitudinally from the target mark. Let me repeat that, an unmanned launch and landing of a space shuttle to effin space 24 years ago and now US navy made a drone that can land on an aircraft career well colour me impressed
Couple of things, I'm wondering if all of the electronics on the ship and on the drone are protected from emp's(all that high tech down in secs...) and I'm wondering if these drones will replace piloted aircraft...I'm thinking that they will use the drones in the "hot zones", send them in first and then piloted aircraft like f-22, f-35 and others after...
You should be very impressed. The US is virtually the only super power with aircraft carriers. Having actually landed multiple times on an aircraft carrier, I know it is no easy feat for a human, especially after a very long mission. Multiply that a couple of times for night, bad weather and with an emergency. We've had systems capable of doing this in manned airplanes, monitored by humans, but to have no human on board is a huge leap of technology.
Too bad they used interlaced video. The sawtooth edges on action scenes are distracting, and are easily eliminated. You can do better Northrop Grumman!
A scientist once told me...." The US has the talented prople who actually design and create these things. Other countries then try to copy them. My HURRAH for our talented engineers, and for the US NAVY !!!
No JBD at launch. Maybe a high power weed eater motor? (that is some stout iron on main and nose gears, not a lightweight) A host of people on deck for no reason, celebration for sure. Crows nest populated to the max. Hey I'm all for getting LTJG 22 year old Navy Pilots out of the squadron command structure (insolent whips) maybe this is the way. Can't imagine a helo turning so close to the waist during a trap. Retract set for about 47 lb .Absolutely fun. Next wing sweep and supersonic?
No, the crew is not insulted any more than they are reading your catamite postings. It is a good bet you never had the brass to actually consider serving yourself.
Some of us believe that combat pilots are the last of the face to face gladiators of battle. Sad to see that starting to drift into the dust bin of history, but technology rolls on.
I'm an old Navy man, and while watching this incredible clip I was struck with a horrible thought. CV 76 is the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan, CV 77 is the U.S.S. George H.W. Bush, If the shit-heads in DC are crazy enough to name the next carrier the U.S.S. Obama, I swear I'll burn all my old uniforms.
Code X yes you aren't American so shut the fuck you useless piece of shit. Make more money for us so i can watch weapons like this take your pathetic countries resources and oil 😂😂😂😂
The way this thing works is it flies over an enemy ship, hacks into the enemy ship's systems and tells the enemy computer all its "I'm a shit-hot naval aviator" stories until the enemy computer crashes...
Ok finally! So when the NAVY says, "Go kill that!", they won't get a bunch of static back about , "...women and children down there!". Gotta love that.
US NAVY ROCKS! What a future we have in Naval Aviation . Still makes me think though that a lot of these stealth designs come from the old AREA 51! LOL.......
X-47B UCAS Aviation History Under Way Từ tháng 7/2013, Mỹ đã thử nghiệm thành công phi cơ không người lái cất & hạ cánh trên Hàng Không Mẫu Hạm. Mỹ không sợ Chệt ăn cắp kỹ thuật, nên đưa lên RU-vid cho mọi người cùng xem !!! This is amazing, technology sometimes just boggles my mind. I hope the video comes through for you. First stealth fighter to take off and land on a carrier! "Unmanned stealth fighter, that is." Fw: Fwd: [PhungSuXaHoi] UAV ops ! - Go Navy,
Yea. Although it's cool. Because thats what technology is...it now takes 12 people to fly a plane. Now add ALL THE SHIT THAT CAN BREAK (electronics)...and you've just exponentially increased the odds of failure. You wanna add high-tech stuff (recon, surveillance, weapons, night vision & laser shit) that's fine. As a matter of fact, that's great! Just put the pilot BACK IN THE SEAT. I'm just sayin...
cost of failure of losing a pilot is cheaper? or just his aircraft with the exact EW capability in addition to the on-board cock-pit avionics for the pilot...which are no-longer on the UCAS Plus we have a pilot shortage and cost of training is high, as-is duration prior to wings (6-8k hours)
I hope not. In Nam they thought guns were no longer needed on aircraft, that missiles were the way of the future. These will find a place in combat but rest assured our brave men and women will be fighting right next to them. May God bless our troops and have little mercy on our enemies.
We will never loose our aviators. There is a common military understanding that while these are great tools that they will never win a war. The reason is that if we were to go to war and say 3 of these go down in flames, the American people will look at the bottom line and say "we just lost X million dollars..." and will pull all support for the action. But if you loose an aircraft with a pilot they will get upset because now we just lost one of our boys/girls and they will want revenge.
Harry Rombold VMA 225 landed the first aircraft at the new airstrip at Chu Lai on June 1, 1965. Check out the Home Movies on the VMA 225 You Tube Channel !!!
Wow! The ultimate CowardMobile that is, carrying none of those weasels onboard. The pilot, presumably a manly 18yo Marine covered with zits, quietly hiding in a basement, thousand of kilometers away. US citizens must be proud. Just imagine having had such weapons during the Iraq war: how many more tens of thousands of innocents, women and kids, they could have slaughtered without peeing their pants!
