What kind of stuff do you imagine Skunkworks dudes are developing nowadays?

why though?
Ground to air combat, air to air combat, everything that isn't a haji firing some shitass shoulder fired thing is beyond sight combat

Daily reminder that "Aurora" was just a code name for scramjet craft.

SUBMARINES DROPPED INTO VOLCANOS BUT CAN SWIM THRU EARTH AND POP OUT IN OTHER VOLCANO

Some bullshit hypersonic laser armed turbo stealth quantum drone that costs tens of billions of dollars, meanwhile they won't spend a fucking dime for a rifle that dosent jam every other mag.

If you told the Air Force and Navy they'd have to use F-4 Phantoms they'd go full on mutiny.

i like the way this man thinks
Could make it out of tungsten which has a melting point of 3400 degrees, while magma is around 2000 degrees. could work. Navigation might be difficult

What do you guys think of a blimp/airship with a really low RCS?

possible?
worth it?

The way things seem, it looks like a large majority of the demand placed on contractors is software related. Things like self-driving cars, the Amazon dropoff drones, etc. really just serves more as a testbed for autonomous systems for the military. We already have drones, the logical next step is autonomy.
On top of that, electronic warfare, pattern matching software to identify threats via bulk data collection (read: wiretapping), facial recognition, personnel tracking, and logistics. Whatever Lockheed's latest and greatest can build at Skunkworks hardware-wise isn't nearly as useful to the military as the black site software shit. The F35 was more of a software project than anything else.

Long range orbital missile batteries that can sit idle in LEO for decades and take out satellites in deeper orbit.

Geosynchrous would be better than LEO, no?

Probably only cyber now.

Massive facial recognition database like what China already has.

of course it’ll never be as good as China’s because one of America’s Chief researchers on the subject moved to China because he was sick with having to deal with the SJW bullshit infesting American universities

Whoa, it's almost like air superiority is far and above more important on an operational and strategic level than the diminishing returns of replacing a service rifle with another service rifle that does the same thing but slightly better. Besides, the "reliability" problems with military rifles come from lack of proper maintenance and overuse. Ordering a bunch of new M4's and 249's would have the same effect as buying a whole new rifle.

Blimps suck. It's been proven long ago and nothing has changed since then. Being lighter then air means you're at it's mercy.

now also drone swarms

with this latest advancement Russia stronk! locally grown AIDS will disperse from superior hypersonic airburst scramjet. top down attack and sducts will defeat even quantum radar! glorious rainbow and HIV will rain down on NATO. cyka blaaaaaat

microdrones, to small to be shot down. Small enough to get through air-vents.

Propulsion fast enough to bypass today's defense systems.

They can't use Antarctica, the locals won't let them.

Non-nuclear? Just do it a big faraday cage back home.
Nuclear? If you set off a nuke up in the Van Allen belt it doesn't matter where you do it, both the blast itself and the effect it has on satellites and radiotelescopes will be noticed by at least half the planet.

tbqh the ancient dinosaur civilisation on the moon is probably the reason that we had to hide all the WW2 flying disc technology

Flying saucers have been made and that was a long time ago. They probably went back to planes.

Catgirls,

Not if you wanted to hit anything on the other side of the planet

While china cant help but show us what they're actually working on, the US has only reluctantly shown off things its made, considered in advance for potential blowback and public appearances. After Stealth with the B1 and F117 they didnt have a reason to show off anything since almost everything else they're working on is something that can be deployed without rendering a plausibly denied public appearance.
> Drones are okay to reveal since people would actually see those on the ground, its also just a carrier or a vehicle to field equipment on, its not like people are going to know its carrying a plazma death ray or such.

thats doable just not with our civilian grade 3d printers.
They have devices that are codenamed "constructors"

how about a drill that will pierce the heavens

They're trying to build one but even though they stole the plans they did a pisspoor job of putting it together and are tearin' up rotors but can't figure out why

The only downside to airships these days is speed/payload. Modern lighter than air vehicles are very much real and used by the US, don't know about anyone else though.

From what I have heard they are busy with drone platforms which can carry out small time surveilance and refuel at hidden charging stations and stalk the enemys. Also a bunch of simple ied drones are in the package meant to be targeted at critical military infrastructure, eg control panals and wires etc, simple stuff.
