The ministry and manufacturer BAE Systems managed to keep the whole thing a secret.<br /><br />Taranis is only the latest in a growing stable of high-performance robot warplane prototypes meant, ultimately, to be armed with missiles and bombs.<br /><br />Most of them share certain characteristics. They’re jet-propelled and shaped more or less like bats, lending them high subsonic speed and a certain amount of radar stealth, but possibly less endurance than older, propeller-driven robot models—just 12 hours instead of 24.<br /><br />They’re all between 30 and 66 feet from wingtip to wingtip. And if they don’t already have internal weapons bays, they’ll surely get them, as that’s a requirement for avoiding radar detection.<br /><br /><b><a href="https://medium.com/p/7f1b5a4e8ddc">Read more</a></b> ....<br /><br /><b>My Comment:</b> These are the aerial drones .... expect naval and ground drones to be coming soon.

Adam Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee. “We face seven more years of sequestration and there is no clear picture of how that's going to be handled,” Smith told reporters Feb. 6 at a breakfast meeting in Washington.<br /><br />Congress, against all odds, last month passed a two-year budget resolution that set defense spending for 2015 at approximately $498 billion, or  $9 billion above the spending limit mandated by the 2011 Budget Control Act. By 2016, under the BCA, the Pentagon’s inflation-adjusted funding would fall to about what it received in 2007 and remain essentially flat through fiscal year 2021.<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=7c996cd7-cbb4-4018-baf8-8825eada7aa2&ID=1401&RootFolder=%2Fblog%2FLists%2FPosts">Read more</a></b> ....<br /><br /><b>My Comment:</b> This is not how you run a world class military organization .... but with money getting tight (and politics at play) ..... such is the end result.

Over those five decades, the GI Joe brand has seen wild swings in its popularity—a barometer of the public's regard for the US military—and undergone numerous design evolutions.<br /><br />Conceived by Don Levine, Hasbro's head of research and development and US Army Infantry Sergeant, as he rotated home from deployment in the Korean War, GI Joe's were originally foot tall posables. "We protected each other and loved each other," Levine told the AP this week.

The plan called for retiring the USS George Washington, a Nimitz-class nuclear carrier first commissioned in 1992, before its midlife refueling and refurbishing set to begin in 2016. Forgoing the refueling and refurbishing phase would have saved the Pentagon $4.7 billion, although this would be partially offset by the $1.2 billion cost of decommissioning the carrier.<br /><br />It would also have reduced the U.S. Navy’s carrier force to ten.<br /><br /><b><a href="http://thediplomat.com/2014/02/us-nixes-plan-to-reduce-carrier-force/">Read more</a></b> ....<br /><br /><b>My Comment</b>: Reducing the US carrier force would have sent the wrong message to the world .... but with not enough money to support carrier operations it would not surprise if these carriers end up being at port for most of the time.<br /><br /><b>Update:</b> <a href="http://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2014/02/07/pentagon_drops_plans_to_mothball_aircraft_carrier_107077.html">Pentagon Drops Plans to Mothball Aircraft Carrier</a> -- Adam O'Neal & Dustin Walker, Real Clear Defense
