Any ideas on control system details? Wasn't sure if the development team had figured a chimpanzee training program, or got fly-by-wire to work with teetering rotors.

Does the smart missile tow the dumb R22 (possibly packed with explosives) to the target and then drop it on the baddies?

It would be an interesting cg shift when one missile fires and the other is still hanging out there on its rack.The high and wide skids are to make up for the one-skid-low landing attitude if you get a hang-up?
The frosted glass is so that the pilot isn't dazzled by the rocket flare. The unfaired mast is only unfaired because the first test firing melted it off.

First posted those back in Jan in the Rotorheads around the world thread, and they've been doing the rounds since. This is the Maverick UAV system operated by the U.S. Army's R&D team. I have a 10MB video of the firings somewhere.

1. a FLIR directed gatling gun, so's those real recalcatant b*****ds would never get away.
2. a multiple grenade launcher that would drop brackets of a half dozen or so at about a 50 meter spacing, line abreast in rolling forwards salvos.
This would really move those old '****ters and musceleys' out of the inpenetrable thirty foot high canegrass that was always under the tallest trees in the river sytems.
