U.S. seeks spy edge with stealth drone

CNN Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr

It looks like a bat, sweeping, turning. But it’s actually the new super-secret Air Force stealth drone.

CNN has learned this unmanned spy plane is designed to fly for up to 24 hours behind enemy lines in countries like North Korea, Iran, and Syria.

Military sources tell CNN it will give the United States a critical stealth advantage to spy on countries that have strong air defense systems able to shoot down more conventional aircraft.

The drone, believed to be called the RQ-180, was first revealed by the magazine Aviation Week and Space Technology in a lengthy article co-authored by Amy Butler and Bill Sweetman, both long time experts in classified military stealth technology.

The program is so classified the Air Force would not confirm its existence to CNN or Aviation Week.

But several U.S. officials told CNN its capabilities are a top intelligence gathering priority– especially after a less sophisticated stealth drone went down in Iran in 2012.

The key, Butler said, is the drone’s ability to fly long distance and stay aloft for 24 hours in a stealthy manner.

"This aircraft will be able to penetrate that border and conduct operations in and around an enemy airspace without being targeted," Butler told CNN.

It’s so secret the drone is believed to be at a hangar at Area 51 - the Air Force's highly secure flight test center in Nevada.

The drone may be able to fly as high as 11 miles. The requirement for an asset that is stealthy, can fly at high altitude and conduct intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance is a crucial priority for the military and the intelligence community.

Plan for a new spy plan unveiled

In several countries, air defenses have improved significantly in recent years making it difficult if not impossible for U.S. assets to gather information.

The drone’s ability to stay up for 24 hours will also give it a key advantage over satellites which often pass by a target intermittently and are subject to be being detected.

Butler said the shape of the drone means enemy radars can't easily see the drone as heat it throws off is shielded so radars can’t pick it up.

“This aircraft is designed to evade both those thermal sensor, those radar sensors, and other sensors that look for aircraft.  So it might not be invisible to radar, but you might not be able to target it and shoot it down.”

Butler suggested the drone may even be able to carry sensors that can listen to cell phone calls and any “activities on enemy frequency, radar activities, that sort of thing.”

Although it’s not confirmed, the magazine suggested the drone could be operating as soon as 2015.

I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read, but I truly believed you'd have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could fix if you weren't too busy looking for attention.

    Do you even fact/sanity check your own stories? "Butler said the shape of the drone means enemy radars can't easily see the drone as heat it throws off is shielded so radars can’t pick it up." Heat is not picked up by radar. Infrared sensors pick up heat.

      I agree, Mark. Why does the US have to spy on Allied countries the way it does? And, even more importantly, why does it have to spy on its own citizens? The NSA is totally out of control; and, now, this rogue agency's considering sharing citizens' private data with central banks? This is an abomination, along with sharing this data with IsraHell.

      I bet the NSA is sharing data mined from European and other governments with IsraHell as well.

      Since you ask the questions of "what gives U.S. the right" perhaps you should pose that question to President Putin and the midget running North Korea. Since Obama took office China, North Korea and Russia have all violated our airspace and or our territorial coastal waters while gathering intelligence. Obama allowed a Russian "BOMBER" to overfly California and did nothing but kindly warn them. What gives them the right? The same thing that gives US the right. The best defense is a good offense. As for the US calling for a per-emptive strike if another country possessed a stealth drone, China already has one. You really should read something beside MSNBC once in a while.

      I'm not sure how being a radar specialist qualifies you to comment on NSA activities. And if you had knowledge of these stealth drones flying over the US through the course of your job I'd be surprised if you weren't in breach of contract by revealing classified information, which you imply you have knowledge of and are revealing. How about you calm down and stop trying to make yourself seem more knowledgeable because you stared at a radar screen for hours on end.

      I didn't see the picture of the plane in this article, but it was in Aviation Week. Of the very limited information revealed, none of it was accurate. it appears to have the radar cross section of a skinny mosquito, a negative thermal signature, and it's probably quieter than silence.

Well, look at those images and then take a good long look at the image in this article.
