The first space helicopter will set to take Martian skies
The helicopter that operates in the Martian atmosphere will give the new data about the red planet. But that kind of system can also give information for high-flying independently operating manned- and drone helicopters. The high-flying helicopter can use radars and many other electromagnetic sensors. And the space-helicopter can search water from below the Martian surface.
But a similar system can be used to locate radar stations and submarines along with underground structures. The VLF and ELF radars that are installed in the wings that kind of systems can locate underwater mountains and submerged submarines as well as the underground bunkers.
Below them might also be laser systems, which can use to take spectrometer images from the surface. But as we know the lasers are multi-use tools. And adjusting the power of that system is possible to make the ultimate weapon, which can explode the ammunition in the ammo shack or make the holes in the structure of the aircraft.

The same lasers and radar systems can also be used to make telemetry connection between those high-flying helicopters and computer centers. So maybe tomorrow this kind of helicopter can be dropped to the operational area from satellites, and they can be independent in their operations.
The energy source of that kind of system must think carefully. The RTG ( Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator) is the ultimate tool, that gives virtually unlimited operational time. But in the case of accidents or shootdown situations, the highly radioactive material can go to the wrong hands, and cause a risk for national security.
The power cells would be a good choice for making the lightweight helicopter. The system can use hydrogen and oxygen, which are separated from water by using electrolysis. That electrolysis system can install in the drone itself. It could pull water inside it, and then the electrolysis can start when the helicopter uses solar panels. And in the night time, oxygen and hydrogen can use in power cells, which are reserved in a night time operation.
Those helicopters could use electric engines, and their rotors can also cover by using silicon layers, which makes them the solar panels. But the system can use maser-rays for remote loading the electric systems. In some most exotic versions, the small size drone can also use the capillary tube for loading its batteries. The rising gas will rotate the turbine inside the helicopter. This kind of system can deliver to the atmospheres of Jupiter and other gas giants. But they can also operate above the battlefield, and deliver information to HQ.
The Mars-planet is an excellent place for testing extremely high-flying techniques. The pressure of the atmosphere of that planet is so low, that flying in its atmosphere is the same thing as flying on 10 000ft (30 480 meters) above the surface of Earth. That thing would give an excellent chance to test new technology, what can use in manned and unmanned drones and manned helicopters. That technology should base safe energy sources, which denies pollution during the case of accidents, and also that system should have a long operational time.
