Bro Excalibur rounds are awesome but they arent our 'secret weapon' LOL - literally all shit we have provided to the Ukrainian's is literally over a decade old. Just wait and watch what the US Navy does to the PLA ;-)

@Victor-vj5ds not really honestly - the new shit is multiple platforms around the globe being able to control munitions launched by disparate systems. switchblades are great for small teams - both collecting (ISR) and taking out targets (high val or otherwise). The next evolution of that capability is a fire and forget by end user - meaning your mission is go to a grid pop off and exfil. And someone sitting halfway around the world then executes target post collecting - or AI self executes and reports back later (systemically to a ML Algo) or to a person. Similar concept on Naval and land platforms - like hundreds of switchblades swarming.

@Victor-vj5ds yes and no - lets just say aliens have never visited our planet and most sightings are future capabilities. Like F35 goes way back to late 90's. But with modern agile product development fielding is much more rapid. But scaling (operationalization) is the true pain point. And Starlink will be future IAAS - which will support DoD platforms - (think AWS in space supporting Amazon) but there already was a scaled down like system fielded around that 2015 time frame you referenced. I also think PLTR's foundry has a real future with DoD as well, maybe leveraging connectivity, storage, and transmission capabilities of Starlink? The true cutting edge capabilities are those sexy lean super sized drones equipped with lasers. No clue what powers them - maybe mini reactors, who the hell knows? I know rumorint has the their ceiling to be quite high altitude (think ICBM intercept or potentially targeting satellites). Pair that future vs modern Eagle scanner, Sea Guardian, and other small batch variants are more scalable and deployable. Similar to hypersonic weapons - no one talks about Aegis platforms taking out defunct satellites nearly a decade ago in real time. The US Navy is the most destructive force ever fielded in the history of humanity - I cant wait to see it unleashed upon the PLA. That is where much of the sexy shit truly is and most of it is unseen like our EWO capabilities. Also no one ever really talks about naval drones - those do exist and will have similar QB like model of future warfighter jets - where carrier groups will command them: from ISR to munitions at a flip of a switch.
