[Eduarquitects]

@SavaTTAGGG Feel like 5 years old

[Tjita1]

I want that camera in it's nose. And no, I don't mean I want to buy it. Them little cameras costs several hundred thousand us dollars, so I'd much rather get one for free. Dear Santa...

[Pr3dProductionsHD]

@Tjita1 lol

[RightWingHunter666]

Nice ... I hate to be the pilot of that baby. Crashed a many RC planes in my time.

[wineverytime1]

Other countries are way ahead of the U.S. in robotics. Soon there will Robotic Soldiers

[kevinusma]

Guess pilots are out of a job!

[Dongskie2]

@kevinusma: No sir, it would be the same pilot who would be flying the Fire Scout, instead of sending him out on a HUEY to scout around.

[JSermarini]

My old ship! McInerney was a great ship.

[babaz7]

imagine this with a mini gun!

[Billleavens]

Wow. SkyNet has helos now. 

[SuccessJallah]

Which Raiting gets to fly the UAV's for NAVY?

[maxxbad17]

@cjuanola with its camera you wont be able to differentiate between rebels civilians and pro-kadhafi forces!!!

[evinado1]

@maxxbad17

oh really?

[maxxbad17]

@evinado1 yeah its IR

[evinado1]

@maxxbad17 You do realize one was shot down in Libya two days ago right?

[maxxbad17]

@evinado1 yeah and so?

[cjuanola]

Why don't they use these in Libya? 3/26/2011

[SanchoMan1000]

its got a bitch hook for pickin them up watch'

[STRYKER1467]

LOL i know that from BFBC2

[Brera011]

Big Brother is watching you! There is a spy in the the sky!

[k2boarder2007]

that day sucked! it was so hot! i was SAR swimmer on that day and got burnt badly

[Orangebike666]

I know that for fixed wing aircraft to land/take off on an aircraft carrier the ship must be a special direction into the wind... is it a similar situation for landing on smaller vessels with a helicopter?

[MJBxl883]

@Orangebike666 yes. I could be wrong but I believe its for safety.

[francoisbe92]

@Orangebike666 For fixed wing aircrafts, they choose to land with wind coming from the front to slow them down better, i believe. I don't think helicopters need that.

[Nathan671]

I was actually a part of the detachment that deployed with the firescouts. And man were there some stories. lol.

[lordboyxi]

it's having sex with the ship at 1:25

[Yannick19956]

[TheBigBoohm2009]

@Yannick19956 im pro with this thing in bc2 ;D

[DaNuke1810]

[madartist777]

our UAV is online!

[KASHMIRI7864LYFE]

wow pakistan brought this nice i bet we dont get the uav kit lol

[zctzctzct]

bad company 2 in real life ~?

[virtuousmission]

@zctzctzct the fire scout was in development LONG before BC2 came out.

where do you think games get their technology inspiration from?

[marcusebrawner]

is that an antennae, or a harpon?

[zeroshadowsk8er]

@marcusebrawner it's for refueling

[zeroshadowsk8er]

@zeroshadowsk8er in midflight i mean

[Gryphon950]

at 1:25, wuts that thing that comes out of the bottom?

[PCgamer1010]

@Gryphon950

maybe fuel line?

[CAPTJACKAUBREY69]

@Gryphon950 Its a dikfor.

[Coy1750]

@CAPTJACKAUBREY69 whats a dikfor? lol jk

[CAPTJACKAUBREY69]

@Gryphon950 No seriously it is part of the system that attaches itself to the ship during pitching deck scenarios. I believe it is called RAST-recovery, assist, securing and traversing (RAST)

[Nathan671]

@CAPTJACKAUBREY69

Its kinda like a rast except its propelled by compressed air making it a Harpoon. But it serves the same purpose.

[blummedia]

Now run down to the Navy Recruiter and you can play with the new toys!

Go Navy!

[gtafan2006]

that uav was arround way before bc2 came out

[Flyglobespan93]

The UAV from Battlefield bad Company 2 LOL

[majormajor42]

what is that probe thing that lowers into the deck at 1:23?

[gtafan2006]

@majormajor42 i think its called a tallon well thats what its called on cosastguard helicopter. its basicly a large metal shaft with clamps on the end that lock onto the deck of a ship to prevent the chopper from rolling off the back of the ship

[BrotherBloat]

isn't it the machine that just contributed by accident to stopping a 60kg coke smuggle?

[iSNiPEjust]

Nice! chopper gunner next, lmao

[express49]

Great vid , thanks !

[2346]

looks like a flying submarine

[willchu1942]

Should practice it in Battlefield Bad Company 2! Infrared cross hair cam looks very much the same... Awesome!

[jasonbadler]

wouldn't it be more cost efficient to just a a drone airplane. What is the purpose of a drone helicopter? hum.

[ThatGuy042]

@jasonbadler Among other things, It can land on a small helipad like the one on this ship

[gtafan2006]

@jasonbadler my guess is if it has weapons it could be used for close air support of ground troops which would reduce helicopter pilots KIA due to the fact that they cost less to produce and dont need someone in the cockpit to fly them. and that means less pilots would die in wartime situations. plus a drone dosent get tired like a pilot does

[aescobar32]

thats one sexy UAV

[PERIZ99]

Totally amazing...!!!

[gtafan2006]

lol where do you think they got the idea for the uav from

[mandolinplayer13]

UAV helicopter?

[fsxman1]

Thats Sick!!!
