Multiple articles in the Dornier Post mention a drone project called Korps-Aufklärungs-Drohne (Corps-Reconnaissance-Drone) as the German predecessor to the CL-89. However i can find very little information on it. There is only one article (from 1971) that describes it in some detail. The article...

What can the dozens of experts tell me about Italian designed and built submarines?

Hardly a week doesn't go by when I haven't read or heard of one of the U.S. armed services developing and/or deploying some sort of autonomous unmanned vehicle for future armed conflicts. As much as I like reading about all the technological developments that the U.S. and/or other militaries are...

I really thought we already had a topic on this one, but after several unfruitful search attempts I guess I must have been wrong. Useful sources: http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a263514.pdf http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a068345.pdf...

Some months ago I copied a couple of pages from, I think, a large NASA report and I have no notes to say whose these designs are. So here are pages 1332 and 1334 :)
