Space X will launch a Dragonfly probe to Titan.

The Dragonfly is one of the most daring missions in history. The AI-controlled quadcopter will be launched to Saturn's moon Titan, and there. That probe will research the distant moon. Its atmosphere. And its hydrocarbon lakes. The Dragonfly itself is an interesting concept. If the image above really portrays a Dragonfly. That probe is like a quadcopter. And it seems to have four Kamov-type propellers that give it higher speed than traditional propellers. 

In those propellers, the system tilts the rotor's edge against each other. And that makes it possible to aim the thrust. Those propellers give that system extremely good maneuverability. 

Those propellers are seen in Kamov helicopters. The engine system gets its energy from nuclear batteries or isotope generators (RTG). The thing is that the Titan atmosphere makes it possible to use wind energy on that strange word. 

The Dragonfly concept is suitable for next-generation manned helicopters. The high-speed quadcopter designs can be useful in many missions. Electric engine-operating quadcopters can be a low-noise application. The turbine-based hybrid system allows this system can travel fast between targets, and near the destination, the system can turn to use electric engines. 

If those electric systems and cabins are protected against pressure the quadcopter can also operate underwater. And those systems can give new abilities. For civil and military operations. The underwater-capable quadcopter can fix undersea cables and check structures above and below the surface. The same system can transport military operators to the coastline underwater and then fly them to the building's roofs.



The main difference. Between the FVR-90 hybrid drone that you can see above. And supersonic versions are that. The supersonic versions can pull those quadrotors in the structure. That means the side bodies are a bit longer and the craft's shape is tuned to fit supersonic flight with possible stealth capacities. 

In some visions, the next-generation high-speed jet fighters are quadcopters that can have high-power jet engines. Or, quadcopters can raise those jet aircraft up from the ground. At the right altitude, they can drop the aircraft which can accelerate its speed. But those systems can have internal quadcopter structures. 

The system in the lower image might look a little bit like the jet-engined version. But in that jet-engined version, the main propeller is replaced by a jet engine and high-speed abilities are better. 

Those high-speed systems can use the quadcopter mode in low-speed, low-noise flight. Those quadrotors can be systems that the aircraft can pull while it travels fast. Or they can be small independent operating helicopters that can rise and transport aircraft away from city areas. Then those systems can be separated. And then. Those systems can travel away from the city area and start their jet engines. Those radical concepts will lower the flight noise.

The quantum radar can end the superior of the stealth technology.



The F-22 (Image above) is the 5th generation stealth fighter. The next-generation stealth systems are already coming into service are replacing those old-fashion jet fighters. 

But the fact is that the 5th generation stealth systems are well-known and there are projects in the countries like China. Which goal is to make the anti-stealth and stealth systems that are turning old-fashion stealth systems visible. 

And they might turn useless. The new type of anti-stealth system can break every stealth system if the system uses the fixed shape of the structure. The idea is to use the radar wavelength that can jump back from the layer of the jet aircraft. 


In the other versions, the system combines multiple sensors. Those sensors are acting as optic, radar, laser, and acoustic areas. And the system handles them as an entirety. 


There are two ways to benefit the quantum technology in anti-stealth systems. The first and more conventional way to use that new technology is just to use the quantum computer that analyzes the data that the multiple sensors are sending the data to quantum computers that are connecting and analyzing that data. 

In this type of anti-stealth system multiple ground-based, air- and seaborne and satellite-based system are working as an entirety. The system uses radio waves, lidars (laser radars) space telescopes. And things like acoustic sensors for uncovering the stealth plane. The spaceborne optical sensors are things that are causing risks for the stealth system. 

The weakness of the satellites is that their location is changing when they are orbiting the earth. If the airborne system must protect things like cities they must hang in a stable position during the operation. One version is to use blimps. The unmanned balloons or airships that can rise to a high atmosphere can carry multiple sensors. 

That can detect stealth aircraft. The idea is that the system sees the aircraft by using optical sensors. The airborne radar can see the shadow of the stealth aircraft when it travels over the ground. The stealth aircraft denies the radar echo from the ground. And the shape of the stealth aircraft is seen as the shadow when it comes between ground and radar. But that system requires an extremely high-resolution radar. 


Another version is to use a laser scanner. The laser scanner scans the surface of the stealth plane. And the shape of it is coming to the screens of the operators when it goes through the laser wall. 


And the Mars helicopter can use as the base for the new type of unmanned, high-flying AWACS system. The rotor blades can be equipped with radar and the helicopter itself can have a CCD camera. The purpose of that camera is to observe the area by using optical systems. Those systems are observing the area by using the wavelengths of infrared and visual light. Also, those helicopters can use lidars (laser scanners) to search stealth aircraft. Those helicopters can hang above certain areas, and they can get energy from the ground. 

The small size makes them harder to target than some airships are. The reason why these kinds of systems are under development. Is that they can hang over a certain land area and observe it intensively. Those helicopters can use microwaves as EMP weapons which mission is to disturb the robot-drone operations in the area. But they can also have a laser system for destroying the incoming missiles. 

In the anti-stealth radars, the system uses the indirect way to see stealth aircraft. The system tries to notice the airflow. Or pressure wave that is escaping from the surface of the aircraft. And it can use radars and laser systems for that mission. 

Quantum technology, which mission is to make a new type of sensors can end the era of stealth. There are many ways to make the quantum radar and one is the plasma field. When stealth aircraft is entering the plasma field, the radar of some other sensors is seeing the interaction between the aircraft and the ion cloud. 

In some of the most futuristic versions of quantum radar, the system acts like a giant electron crystal. That electron crystal sees if something moves its particles. And that makes it possible to notice the stealth aircraft. Other versions of the quantum radars are the chained ions or some other particles. And those radars are feeling the surface of the stealth plane.
