First clear image of China's mysterious trimaran has emerged. A 64-metre hybrid between surface ship and submarine, likely uncrewed or minimally crewed given the small, narrow superstructure.

Best guess: an arsenal ship with VLS for cruise missiles, relying on other vessels for targeting.

Northrop Grumman just unveiled Project Talon, their new CCA drone built with Scaled Composites. It’s 450 kg lighter than their original design, has 50% fewer parts, and takes 30% less time to build.

First flight targeted for next fall.
