"White knight" launch vehicle and its modification to the nuclear power aircraft could revolutionize many things in aviation. New forms of nuclear-powered aircraft would be already in production. Those things are unseen, and the technology, what is used is actually basing the RTG (Radio Thermal Generator), what is the so-called nuclear battery, what has given power to the spacecraft like Voyager-probes and other deep space exploration vehicles. Those nuclear-powered drones could be quite similar, with  Rutan's "White Knight" launch vehicle, what have been operated with X-37B.


This unmanned space launch system can be easy to modify the nuclear-powered vehicle, by installing the RTG:s and electric motors with propels to that vehicle. Those vehicles could fly extremely high altitude, and they can also carry cruise missiles under their fuselage. Those high flying unmanned platforms can operate even years in the atmosphere, and they can also be armed with nuclear warheads. Those systems can also operate with ASAT (Anti Satellite) missions, and they can carry anti-satellite missiles, and they are very hard to find and destroy.


Those small size motherships can also be used in other kinds of military purposes like shooting normal combat missiles like Harpoons and SLAM (Stand-Off Land Attack Missile) missiles. They are of course very easy to destroy if they can be located first, but the flight altitude of those systems can be over 20 kilometers. The record of electric motor powered aircraft is about 30 kilometers, and it was made by solar-powered  Helios aircraft. And there are rumors that also "Predator" drones are transformed to use RTG:s. Those motor systems can be only the RTG:s, where is connected the electric motors and those killer drones operate in the global area and strike without warning. The nuclear-powered aircraft are not addicted to sunlight.


There are study plans for creating the electric engine aircraft what bases the Helios, that uses the capillary tube to rotate the generators, what gives electric power to motors. But the aircraft is still in the drawing stage. The benefit of electric engined aircraft is, that those vehicles leave the very low infrared signature, and they can be produced by using STEALTH-technology, and that's why they are actually quite hard to find.

What if we would combine the HULC-exoskeleton and space suit

This writing is pure fiction. I took the idea for it from the movie "Predator", and this solution would be pure science fiction. The space suit is very suitable for deep-sea scuba diving, and also the use of this equipment in high-level radioactive areas feels a good idea, but there is one problem with that suit. The weight of the space suit is enormous, and the weight of this system causes, that it is useless in this kind of missions. But with one special equipment, this thing can revolutionize the handling of nuclear disaster and diving technologies. This equipment is HULC-style exoskeleton, what allows the capacity to use the space suit in the surface of Earth. The exoskeleton would give extremely big power to the person, who uses that machine. The space suit is suitable also in deep-sea missions because the suit is very hard. Actually, the space suit is a man-shaped spacecraft.


And in theory, the team, what uses this equipment can be dropped from the spacecraft to operational area, and the space suit is hard enough to resist the pressure of the deepest sea. Those persons can carry the heat shield, what looked like shields, what the knights used, and they can return to the atmosphere. Then the parachutes would be open, and those persons could start their operation in the deep sea or in the radioactive area. Those systems are very expensive, but they can be allowed to operate in the areas, what is too hostile for normal rescue or operative team.


The space suits can allow getting the things from the sunken ships, what are very deep.  The connecting that very heavy thing with HULC-system, could the operator also work in the places like the nuclear disaster. The space suit can allow that the man can handle the uranium fuel without risk of getting radiation illness, but this would make very bad visions in my sight. Space suits are equipped with the thing, what is called the "micrometeorite protection". That means that this suit could be used as the armor suit, what would resist all kind of threats. The suit can be equipped with RTG-generator and lasers. The laser would be in the back of the operator, and the laser rays can be transferred to the arms by using light cables. And the RTG would give enough power to that system. The exoskeleton would give enough force, that one person could carry this kind of equipment.


When we are thinking, that the space suit would be used as some kind of "predator" mission, that thing can also be equipped with the nuclear detonator. The nuclear detonator could be modified RTG-generator, where would be connected with another bite of plutonium. Power of that device would be extremely low, what means about 0,5-2 kilotons. The military might be interested in this kind of devices because they would cover the identity of the operator if this person would be injured. The space suit allows avoiding the DNA markings of the operator, and it will be very hard, and maybe in some laboratories are tested, how suitable this thing would be in some kind of missions. But the high price of that system would limit its use to the space missions. This thing could be very good equipment in some science fiction book, and in the real life, the space suit can be too expensive in the everyday use.

CIA:s PROJECT AQUILINE: making special drones for special missions

Kimmo  Huosionmaa

From 1960's CIA have created individual ideas to spy and eliminate enemy targets, and one of the most exotic programs, what this agency has ever created is AQUILINE.  Here we must understand that the moving trajectory of the wing of the bird would not be interested everybody, but when we are making artificial bird-looking robots, we must know, how the bird moves its wing during the flying and getting airborne. The program was made under the high-control of the AREA-51 resort, and it consisted of very interesting drones what seemed like birds. Those drones were or are equipped with the systems, what can be used to track the radio signals, and then those artificial birds would go to eliminate that target.


In the normal models, there would be explosive warhead or some kind of gun inside those devices, but also some of those robots have carbon fiber cloves, what they can use to eliminate the target, and those systems are also suitable for cutting the communication lines and making other sabotage. They can also listen to the communication and photograph the area with the cameras, what is installed in the eyes of that robot bird. And those birds might also laser-microphones, what can be used for eavesdropping.


The laser microphones can also be used as target designation for attacking aircraft. But of course, there are more conventional drones in that kind of missions. The normal "Reaper" drones can also equip with the systems, what are detecting the data- and other radio-transmissions, and then they would start to fly to the target. Those drones can also track the single person by the mobile telephone's IMEI-number. And after that, they would start to attack against that person by using Hellfire or some other missiles, what might be modified smart bullets.


Those new missiles are not bigger than the normal patron, and they cannot be separated from normal rifle shots. When the suspected special ammunition is dropped from the plane, it would home near the target, and then the bullet would be separated and it would fly to the target. In the practice, the "Aquiline" drone is actually quite similar to anti-radiation missiles, and it would use the same kind of electronics and computer programs with those missiles.


It can fly near the communication masts, and shoot the missiles to them. It can also eliminate any person in the world. Those drones might be nuclear powered, and in those cases, the drones would use nuclear batteries or RTG:s what gives them the capacity to operate years in the airborne, and the nuclear system would be very simple, the RTG would be connected to the electric motor, and that gives the system unlimited operation range. And when the ammunition is used, must that thing return the base. Even if that project is officially closed somebody, says that it probably continue as the black budget project. Here we must say that also "Predators" and "Reapers" were first the black budget aircraft before they were introduced to the public.
