https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2015/10/28/the-army-lost-control-of-a-giant-unmanned-surveillance-blimp/ Known as the Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System, or JLENS, the blimp is technically an "aerostat" -- a term for a lighter than air craft tethered to the ground. It's currently on a three year test run to see if it can help detect cruise missiles or enemy aircraft from 10,000 feet above ground. |
Looks like a cartoon whale...with one of those pads for the crotch to look more manly.

Hmmm, a whale with a codpiece. Now that's something you don't see every day.

An ideal mission for a squadron of sopwiths to take down.
Im sure there are a few still in inventory left over from the Lafayette Escadrille. |
They deflated it with with shotguns. There was no design feature for that purpose?
|
Glad that USG has one fewer surveillance device in its inventory as of today.

Now that's just to funny, its a UFO!

What i find most amusing about this project is they appear to have essentially strapped a powerful radar to a 100+ year old barrage baloon design originally used against biplanes, and it STILL cost 2.7 billion dollars to arrange.

There are actually two of them. I can see them from where I live. They creep some people out
