So 'Ski' my son might be going to Canada to put boots on Northrop-Grumman Firebird(?)block 2. You probably know way more than me. Drone/piloted.
I do know Northrup-Grumann is the current "leader" in advanced drone technology along with the super secret Lockheed-Martin "Q" series
(Currently being launched out of Cypress, in the Mediterranean sea for Syria conflicts)
Some "DEEP" thinkers there in Northrup!
We have a team mate here with us who worked Northrup Drone program for a couple of years....
He said the Firebird is a totally modular component!
Stored or shipped in boxes and can be readily assembled for battlefield recon.
He says there is a "manned" and an "unmanned" version.
