The Chinese are developing a drone 'aircraft carrier'. An unmanned 'mother ship' that can carry and launch NINE smaller drones from the air. Here is the news:
- Chinese company test flight new airborne swarm carrier
- unmanned aerial mother ship carrying multiple drones
- mother ship fixed wing, vertical takeoff drone, carried nine drones
- long range, strong anti-jamming, multiple payloads, accurate, low logistics
- reconnaissance, early warning, jamming, attack, evaluation
- revolutionize future warfare
- at designated point drops smaller drones, airborne aircraft carrier
- can rapidly increase number of aircraft in a mission
- difficult to defend against
- drones unmanned, inexpensive, expendable
- Developed by Chinese company Zhongtian Feilong
- unmanned swarm carrier successful test flight March 20
OSTB : The Chinese are becoming world leaders in technology all across the spectrum. Another feature of Chinese technology is that their follow up is very quick. Once this mother ship design has started flying they would have begun designing the next upgraded model already. Imagine a full sized drone flying at speed carrying multiple drones that can perform multiple functions after release over an area.
The future of warfare and power relationships will change drastically.
