So after building
the Accurate Miniatures RQ-1 Predator drone I got to wondering "what
If" this was handed over to some Military R/C nerds?? And
figure they would have come up with something like this, The RQ-5 STALKER
drone! This Drone having been gone over by Nerd types in the
military given free reign to do as they pleased So the 1st thing was to get some
very small very efficient Jet engines, the benefit was that due to sound
restrictions in urban areas they are designed to be nearly silent so as not to
annoy the peace in stateside neighborhoods and next was to make the rear engine
a nice swivel nozzle for the vertical takeoff aspect along with the tilt
wing motor's this little warrior can even take off as few as 2 engines working.

Next additional lightweight
mini sensors were added these to include full spectrum night vision and
motion sensors for primarily night OPS which is the STALKERS main mission
profile. The STALKER can loiter for hours and can also loiter
for shorter periods in pure hover mode to hide behind whatever cover is
available and use it's topside vision system to maintain visual
surveillance while not revealing it's location. It can also
land anywhere it can fit and use it's sensor array as a passive system for
monitoring remote areas and with is new vibrations and hyper sound
acquisition it can detect any sounds within it's sensor range and detect
persons who may try to sneak up on it when it is on the ground.
And last it has had the compliment of Hellfire missiles replaced with the
smaller Hades missiles with more bang for the buck and a wide range of
mission specific ordinance makes it a deadly little aircraft.
Thanks for looking
