U.S. & ROK Aerospace Firms Partner to Build New Advanced Drone

Just another indication that the future of warfare is advanced drones:

South Korea’s Hanwha Aerospace is partnering with U.S. manufacturer General Atomics to develop a multi-mission, short-takeoff-and-landing drone the companies call a “game changer,” Hanwha said in a Wednesday news release. The project will produce the Gray Eagle Short Takeoff and Landing unmanned aerial aircraft system, or STOL, a new variant of General Atomics’ Gray Eagle, itself an upgraded version of the widely used MQ-1 Predator.

The new drone will offer “unprecedented runway independence, able to launch from warships to dirt fields and everywhere in between” and can be configured for electronic warfare, over-the-horizon targeting, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, according to General Atomics’ website.

Once we eliminate humans from the battlespace, there will be no reason to refrain from war.

A very bad situation.

And worse, it might involve a KPop Terminator miniseries.
