> i, personally, would not accept money from the company actively militarizing the southern US border but that's just me food for thought, and that was even before they were advertising offensive weapons technologies of this sort.
Scattering sensors in the desert is militarizing the border ? That’s an awfully dramatic characterization, no?
The whole defense industry leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Once you peel the narrative that we are supposed to be the good guys (hint: in some/most cases, we are not), you realize that you really just help to kill people.
You can stick your head in the sand and pretend that humanity is not an intrinsically violent species, and that if we all held hands and sang Kumbaya we'd be able to get along peaceably and without need for defensive tools. Or you can wake up to the reality that a strong defensive, and sometimes offensive capability is required in order to enforce the state of peace that we all take for granted, and be part of the pr…
Are there reasons this fly lengthwise? Can't it be made like a boolean of rocket and katana and flown sideways?
I think it does fly sideways when it is at speed. It's just VTOL when gaining speed altitude. (That is my takeaway from watching the video)

Think for a second about what the sensors will be used to do.

I’ve been watching a bunch of these videos where they war game realistic and pretty far fetched battle scenarios https://youtube.com/@grimreapers?si=lvRNWBee9RfnkxBI . They’ll cover stuff like a Chinese carrier group vs a US carrier group using slightly futuristic weapons. What often decides the outcomes of battles are the accuracy of ships’ air defenses and how many missiles they have onboard. Shooting down superson…

In reality, the “sheepdog” ends up being a government surveillance state that keeps you compliant with spending all the money on peacetime military waste, rather than serving any of the citizens. The chickens always come home to roost.
It feels like someone copied this company verbatim out of a cyberpunk world and pasted it in our world. Everything is cyberpunk, down to the name, logo, design style and products. Unbelievably cool, but it also terrifies me.
