There is. A lot of unknown things in unmanned systems



There is a lot. That is not told about the Chinese miniature shuttle. The miniature shuttles. Like X-37B and its Chinese companion. Operating in top-secret missions. Maybe. There are also stealth versions of those space shuttles. 

Things like radar satellites and AWACS platforms play a vital role in the military world. This means that those platforms are also prime targets for the anti-AWACS and anti-satellite systems. The same systems. That. Used against radars. It can be used against communication and radar satellites. Those missiles can also attack orbital data centers or computer satellite swarms. The growing fleet of reconnaissance satellites with real-time abilities requires the ability to attack. Against. Those satellites. 

These transmit real-time information about the opponent’s movement. So it’s vital to shut down those satellites. The anti-satellite systems. (ASAT). They can also be used to attack killer satellites. The problem with the systems is that they must separate friendly satellites. From the hostile, or enemy, satellites. Those ASAT systems can be missiles or space shuttles. 

The missile can be launched. From high-flying aircraft. Or, drones.  Those drones can be nuclear-powered versions of the MQ-9 Reaper. 

Or the orbital platforms. The miniature shuttles. They can use various systems. Like lasers. Machine guns and centrifugal guns. Or rockets to destroy those targets. 

The fact is that those miniature shuttles. They can act in various missions. Like zero-gravity orbital satellites. They can act in reconnaissance duties. Or they can operate in anti-satellite duties. Or maybe they also operate as dangerous hypersonic kamikaze drones. Those shuttles can also act as launching platforms for small air combat drones.

Those systems can also carry things like rods of god-type kinetic weapons. It’s possible to drop normal guided bombs from the orbiter. If the small-size shuttle operates as a kamikaze drone, that would be the next step for the FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System). Those shuttles can hang in orbital trajectory and then dive to their target. 

The shuttle can carry those weapons in its cargo bay. Or it can carry an internally detonated hydrogen bomb. 

The thing. What is important is what is in the cargo bays. The cargo bay or modular cargo system involves multiple possibilities. Like. Act as a home for machine guns that those shuttles can use against satellites. Those systems can be centrifugal cannons that shoot metal balls against targeted satellites. 

Another thing that is very little known is the high-flying drones. It is quite easy to transform the MQ-9 Reaper-type drone into a nuclear-powered drone. The system requires only the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) as the power source for the propeller-engine drone. The missions of those high-flying nuclear-powered drones can be the same as those of normal drones. But their operational times are longer. The Reaper-type drones can carry cruise missiles. And they can also act as platforms for ASAT weapons. 

The air-launched air combat drones can also be systems that those drones can operate. The same drones can also be dropped from the orbital platforms, like miniature shuttles. Those air-combat drones can attack. Against. Atmospheric aircraft. This makes those systems very dangerous.
