Modern hybrid airships are looking like UFO:s
Airships can be really fast if they are made by using modern materials.
Many people think that airships are always slow and easy to damage, but this thing is not actually true. The modern materials like carbon fibers and other things can allow creating the modern hybrid airship, which would be a very interesting tool for the research and intelligence missions. The thing is that the carbon-fiber layers would allow creating the concept, what would be revolutionary.
In history, there were planned to create the hybrid airship, what would be launched from the submarine torpedo tubes, and those miniature zeppelins would able to search the enemy territory. One thing about the structure of those things would be that the instrument gondola and the motors would be like they would be pulled in during the carrying, and they can be released from the submarines.
Inside that body would be symmetrical ball-shaped tanks for hydrogen, and those carbon fiber balls allow that the airship can fly extremely high altitude. But is there a possibility, that the airship can fly supersonic. When we are thinking about the hybrid airship, that would be equipped with the rocket or even the ramjet or scramjet engine, that cigar-shaped hybrid airship can fly in the supersonic or hypersonic speed.
The airship-type structure would allow the interplanetary travel
The thing is that on the back of the airship would be the small rocket engine and the sides of that will be the propellers, what would make electricity for the systems of that futuristic airship. I once read one very interesting article about the big size interplanetary spacecraft, which would have the shape like Zeppelin. During the space trip that device and the gas tank would operate as the cabin, that would give the space for the crew.
And when that spacecraft would close the planet or its target the main cabin can be filled with water, and then the system would separate the hydrogen from oxygen by using electrolyze. That would allow creating the very big and fast spacecraft, what can operate in the atmosphere of some planet.
That kind of structures allows use the green energy, and if the capillary tube would be dropped to the lower atmosphere of the planet, that tube can suck the gas through the motor, what would allow very long term operating in the atmosphere of that planet. This kind of systems would be created for the HAVOC and another kind of concepts.
HAVOC (High Altitude Venus Operational Concept) can be manned or unmanned
There are two versions of the systems like HAVOC. Another thing would be manned concept, but the more interesting in the point of view of research would be sending the artificial intelligent HAVOC concept to research the atmosphere of the Venus planet. That concept might have sub-drones, what it can send to collect the samples from the surface. Those drones would be like normal quadcopters, what have the sample handling equipment, and they can bring samples from the surface to the flying laboratory.
The HAVOC concept is actually the plan for sending unmanned flying laboratory to the atmosphere of planet Venus. And those experiences would be used in the next generation missions to travel in the atmospheres of giant gas planets like Saturn and Neptune. That mission, what would be true in the future would be working as the testbed for artificial intelligence and robots, what can use in the longer distances, where the signal travels a couple of hours.
The military operational model
One of the most interesting vision is that the airships would offer rooms for the computer systems, which would offer computer assistance for the ground troops if they need more computer power. Those systems can be used to control the drone swarms by using artificial intelligence.
But the thing is that those airships can operate as the flying command centers, where the commanding officers can watch the situation. And of course, those airships can use the cruise missiles, intelligence equipment or more exotic weapon systems like flechette or laser weapons.
The sub drones can be devastating weapons
The quadcopters would be used to carry explosives, like hollow warheads or the hybrid weapons where the hollow grenade is filled with propane. That will make it very high-class explosive and other high-explosive equipment what it can use against enemy tanks an troops. That airship can float over some area and shoot the incoming aircraft and cruise missiles down from the above.
The systems, what are tested and developed for the HAVOC concept would also operate in the combat zones, where the communication system would be jammed, and the airships would allow the change to operate as the relay station between troops and satellites if the communication will be jammed. But they can also offer very large scale rooms for surgery, and combat zone support systems, what can fly above the combat area and drop the equipment for the troops, when they need ammunition.
