This was interesting and the video is worth watching it is only 7 min. I am guessing the purpose of this technology is to fly unmanned missions. Duke what do you think of this?

Mixed feelings. The human crew is always the weakest link in combat aircraft. Do away with the human, and it will both save a lot of weight (no oxygen system, no ejection seats/life support equipment equipment,etc.) and allow flight performance outside human tolerance. On the other hand, weapon systems that can be employed with zero potential damage to your own personnel makes using such weapons too easy.

Good points, I guess I am glad we have the tech, hopefully first.
