Phantom Ray UAV: More death with a joystick

Phantom Ray UAV Capable of Completely Autonomous Operation


May 15th, 2010

Via: MSNBC:

Boeing’s sleek fighter-size Phantom Ray stealth jet will make its first flight by year’s end. This unmanned airborne system is designed for a variety of warfighter roles ranging from reconnaissance and
surveillance to aerial refueling, electronic attack and hunter/killer
missions.

The 36-foot-long aircraft, which will serve as a test bed for advanced technologies, was rolled out May 10 at the Boeing Defense, Space & Security plant in St. Louis, Mo. With its 614-mph (0.8 Mach)
cruising speed, operating altitude of 40,000 feet and 50-foot wingspan,
the 36,5000-pound Phantom Ray advances the state of the art for
unmanned aircraft. The bat-shaped flying wing has a combat radius of
1,200 nautical miles. Power comes from a General Electric F404-102D
engine.

Unlike earlier generation drones serving with the military in hot spots such as Afghanistan, where the aircraft is remotely controlled from the ground by a pilot using a joy stick, the
Phantom Ray is capable of completely autonomous operation without the
need for anyone to be at the controls, according to Boeing.

It’s more fly-by-mouse than fly-by wire. You upload a mission
profile to the Phantom Ray’s onboard computer and the aircraft runs the
entire mission from takeoff through mission and landing without the
needs for human intervention or control unless the need arises to make
changes in the mission profile.
