Better pic of the Heavy Class Unmanned Ground Vehicle ALPAR

This thing is gonna sell worldwide...consider this lost market share.  Our defense contractors better turn to building what the market place needs, not just what the US military wants.


OK. I'm getting a little pissed. How is Turkey running rings around the US/Europe/China and Russia? These dudes are pushing forward with unmanned air and ground vehicles at a break neck pace. They're about to make an assault carrier into an unmanned air vehicle carrier and saturate the sky with expendable but lethal aircraft.

The terrible thing?

We thought of all this shit at least two decades ago but the projects went no where!

Oh and that's just unmanned systems.  Look at their ground vehicles?  You like the JLTV?  I do too, but the Turks have the same class vehicle that is like a rolling porcupine.

We have lost our imagination.  We have lost our innovation.

We keep waiting for leap ahead tech while others are leaping ahead of us by ACTUALLY DOING WORK NOW!  Utilizing the tech we have today!

We need better military leaders that stop killing projects and will get stuff from the drawing board across the finish line.

Our military budget is too high for us to be so lacking in so many areas.  Let me repeat.  The Turks will have a jet attack drone while the Navy is struggling to get a refueling drone.

Are we back to leading from behind?
