Killer Bee for the Military

The Killer Bee is set to replace the current ScanEagle unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is being used by the US Marine Corps and Navy. What the Killer Bee offers is a longer flight time and range - capable of hitting more than 100 miles, carrying a higher payload capacity in order to unleash a greater destructive power upon the enemy. Interestingly enough, the bent tip of the wings provides greater stability during tight turns while solving the problem of antennae placement. It uses infrared sensors and a live video system to track objects, be it day or night, while an on-board laser makes it capable of firing precision guided minutions with impunity. Good thing there will still be wars around in 2011 when the Killer Bee is unleashed.
