About the mysterious X-37B

The X-37B is the miniature space shuttle, which can be used as the many types of missions. It can take small satellites to the orbiter, but it can also repair them. That automatized shuttle can spend even years in space, and that thing would give a change to speculations, that this system would someday to use for bringing small asteroids on Earth for a closer look. And of course, X-37B can operate as the base for small size-human shaped robots, what can operate on the orbital trajectory.

Actually, those robots might not look like human except, they have hands, which can use similar tools with humans. The shape of those orbital operating robots might be like flashlight what has hands. And those robots can remotely be operated from Earth. The role of X-37B might be the refueling the power systems of those robots, which are remote-controlled by using data gloves and virtual reality masks. 

But X-37B is the modular system, and it can allow giving the USAF the FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombing System) capacity. And the thing is that the nuclear bomb can simply load in the cargo bay of the X-37B, and then this shuttle would dive to the target. Or it can drop that bomb to the target. The shuttle structure allows returning the nuclear bomb to the Earth when the operation is over. And the X-37B can be used also as the HCM (Hypersonic Cruise Missile). The missile would glide from the orbital to its target by using really high speed.

The miniature shuttles can be used as the FOBS weapons, which can return the nuclear warheads to the Earth.  X-37B can be equipped with DEW (Directed Energy Weapons) like laser and microwave systems. But it can also use kinetic energy rockets and missiles against ground targets. 

This kind of miniature shuttles can be used also as the satellite-killer. It can be equipped with similar ADS (Active Denial System)-system, what used in Afghanistan but some improved variants of this "non-lethal" microwave system might be planned to install in M-1 and Israeli Merkava tanks for protecting them against anti-tank missiles by using microwaves to explode the incoming warheads before they hit to the target. If this system is installed in the spacecraft, it can terminate the space systems, like reconnaissance, communication and navigation satellites.

In the more conventional version, the X-37B can take the rocket cassette, what is used in aircraft or helicopters to the manipulator. And then use those rockets against targets what might be on the space, but those rockets can be used as the kinetic energy ammunition, what can be used against ground targets.
