Cheetah is said to run "faster than any existing legged robot and faster than the fastest human runners,"

The Cheetah will be capable of chasing down humans by having the ability to ‘zig-zag’ while giving chase

Lemet kirjutas:UAV-d on ilmselt nüüdseks saavutanud tehnilise suutlikuse lennata ka mandrilt mandrile. Halbadele ilmaoludele viidates tühistati siiski EuroHawki plaanitud lend Edwardsi AFB-st Müncheni lähistele Manchingi.

Armed UAV Operations 10 Years On
January 12

As the procurement of Predators and Reapers and the training of operators accelerated -- particularly under the tenure of former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, beginning in 2006 -- the number of UAV "orbits" skyrocketed (an orbit is a single, continuous presence requiring more than one UAV airframe per orbit). There are now more than 50 such orbits in the U.S. Central Command area of operations alone (counting several maintained by the larger, unarmed RQ-4 "Global Hawk"). The U.S. Air Force expects to be capable of maintaining 65 orbits globally by 2013, with the combined total of flight hours for Predator and Reaper operations reaching about 2 million around the same time. In 2005, UAVs made up about 5 percent of the military aircraft fleet. They have since grown to 30 percent, though most are small, hand-launched and unarmed tactical UAVs.

And over the next 10 years, the Pentagon plans to grow its UAV fleet about 35 percent. The U.S. Air Force plans to buy 288 more Reapers -- 48 per year from now through 2016 -- and money for UAVs has remained largely untouched even as budget cuts intensify at the Pentagon.
