New killer drone that “thinks for itself” rolled out

Death From Above: Navy Drone Logo Features Grim Reaper drone navy logo

The US Navy, which has just revealed the latest development in stealth drone technology, is using a logo for its unmanned aviation program that literally features the angel of Death, clothed in a black cloak with a hood, holding aloft a large scythe.

The logo for the Navy’s Program Executive Office for Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons was photographed and posted to Instagram by Wired writer Spencer Ackerman.

The image of the logo is unaltered and can be verified as genuine on this official document, a bio of rear admiral Tim Heely, the Navy’s drone Program Executive Officer.

There have been some pretty extreme military patches in the past, but to feature the Grim Reaper with red glowing eyes sends a clear message about the Navy’s drone program – it’s purely concerned with killing people.

Which is bad news for anyone who finds themselves on the end of the X-47B, a new 62 feet long autonomous drone set to become an integral part of the Navy’s Unmanned Carrier Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike System (UCLASS).

Judging by the branding, however, there seems to be more of a focus on striking (and killing) than on surveillance.

The new drone was unveiled during its first public test flight over Chesapeake Bay this week. The craft was airborne for 35 minutes and reached an altitude of 7,500 feet, traveling at 207 mph.

The Navy wants to eventually have the aircraft take off and land onto an aircraft carrier hundreds of miles away, all with just the click of a mouse. This would make it the only craft of its kind to have that ability.

The drone is controlled by an onboard Control Display Unit which, it is said, can independently think for itself, plot course corrections, react to unforeseen contingencies, and chart new directions.

“In the coming months, you can expect to see the X-47B flying over the base and surrounding area along the Chesapeake Bay,” Matt Funk, lead test engineer, told NBC4.

Whether Americans will feel comfortable about a robot drone that makes its own decisions flying overhead under the logo of Death is by-the-bye.

Perhaps the X-47B death drone will eventually find a home in Pakistan, where it is believed that more than 1,000 innocent civilians have been killed from drone strikes since 2004.

It is these kind of figures that have prompted Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States to demand this week that the drone strikes stop.

During a debate with White House war adviser Douglas Lute at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado, Sherry Rehman said drone attacks in her home country are now only serving to radicalize extremists.

“I am not saying drones have not assisted in the war against terror, but they have diminishing rate of returns,” Rehman said by video teleconference from Washington.

“We will seek an end to drone strikes and there will be no compromise on that,” she added, ahead of the new Pakistan’s spy chief, Lt. Gen. Zaheerul Islam’s impending first meeting with CIA Director David Petraeus.

Lute would not comment on the drone program.

    The Israeli defense minister ordered the army Tuesday to prepare for the universal draft of the ultra-orthadox men.

    DAMN, ALL THEM MEN, GONNA TRAIN TO BE TOSSED INTO AN OVEN ?

  3. I propose that we make the new logo the logo of the POTUS.

    After all, he is now judge, jury and executioner of U.S. citizens everywhere so why not just be honest and put a face on political convenience?

  4. Only 2 posts shown before logging in…

  5. That the kind of dorky logo I’d expect from someone killing people with a keyboard and mouse from 8,000 miles away.

    unless the nerds in computer science get towork and take over those drones and make them crash into the source that wants to kill so many innocent people?

    If Iran was capable of taking over the control of a US drone then many intelligent Americans who master computer science can join the resistance and neutralise the NWO chills piloting these drones???

  6. Again, these drones are the 21st century equivalent of Hitler’s buzz-bombs (V2 rockets) that killed hundreds of innocent civilians in Britain during WWII. The only difference is the level of technology. They remain cowardly Fascist tools of premeditated MURDER!

    as long as there are soldiers serving in the military they will destroy innocence on this planet.

    Humanity is at the door to either stop this criminal gansters or being exterminated.

    NO SOLDIERS= NO wars

    spread the formula hoping the most intelligent humans will understand the dyer necessity to get out of that evil organisation of world extermination .

    May wisdom shine in the hearts of every good military servant.

  7. with all the social networks out there this formula should go around the planet.

    Operation end the FED and the NWO military empire is on. ACTIVATED in the hearts and minds of all loving humans seeking peace on this planet.

    like in V for Vendetta UNITED we will prevail, divided we will be murdered.

    and serving the military is eating in the hand of the evil masters ordering you all around to fight there evil thinking.

  8. New dead pool for Las Vegas and mob bookies…When and where will the first American be killed on American soils by a ‘Homeland Security’ drone…?

  9. They’ll pick some David Koresh or Randy Weaver guy to be the first. Then the real fun starts.

  10. 90% of the new sightings of UFO’s are these machines. This is very old if they release it to the public to view. They are way beyond this now.

  11. Safety grim reapers should secure the airspace of every town to help prevent terrorism. Can we “save the children” for my harem, though?

    Never let the ideal of barely pubescent beauty be discarded with the uninteresting eaters, I say.

  12. Interesting times indeed.

  13. Yep. I think there are cosmic laws that demand that entities identify themselves to some degree.

  14. When a country leaders prides its self in the production of genocidal weapons of mass destruction and its citizens applauds it human sacrifices in the name of unnecessary and unjustified offensive wars the country is finished. it will decay and crumble under its own hubris and self destruct. For the humans you kill are exactly yourselves who will be replaced by nature as decreed by the just creator od all things

  15. This thing is old technology…..enough said….If were a anti-grav..aircraft….top speed 12,000mph plus…needed no fuel…..had cloaking ability…has the ability to operate at 28miles altitude for extended evolutions…..armed with infra-red-laser wepons….then–yes it would be cutting edge-technology. Semper-Fi—–Bitch

  16. Well I guess that they figured that Skull’n’Bones is just so passé today in America with their death cult of violence, murder and mayhem!

    watch?v=3UBQFXQUqxE

  17. That’s unbelievable. What did they do, recruit a 14 yr old art dabbler to design that ‘official’ emblem?
    It pukes pea soup in the face of dignity and professionalism. But I would venture to guess that it hasn’t to do with either.
