A weapon I designed (2 years ago) with a very talented graphics artist. I submitted it to DARPA and had an informal meeting. It went no where. The idea is more than sound. Its a Missile launched UAV underneath is a liquid helium dewar with expansion chamber. Using a Lighter Than Air platform the loiter time is in the days or weeks. As of now the Reaper's loiter time is a few hours and the global hawk is about 36 hours. I wish this was sent for use in Afghanistan but for now enjoy the video.

  • this is the most stupid theng i have ever seen

  • surprised they have not developed a balloon UAV with loiter time of days than just hours. Add a IR/FLIR and real time download and you can just loiter over your AOI.

  • Pretty sharp idea there. Hell of a concept and a good way of showing it's merit. Well done.

  • I really enjoyed working on this project. Thanks for uploading it my friend!

  • Very good video
