Vehicle is fitted with a Caterpillar diesel engine, with 300 horsepower. The Black Knight uses many automotive components from the Bradley to reduce costs and simplify maintenance. It's high maximum speed allows to keep pace with main battle tanks. The Black Knight can be airlifted by the C-130 transport aircraft. Though it is able to transverse areas without human intervention though It has however have no way of defining a target without the designation from command base. These are the specifications of the prototype so far:

Now let's move on to one of the more finished products of Modern Warfare and also one of my personal favorites. The MQ-9 Reaper Drone is the successor to the MQ-1 Predator Drone . The MQ-9 is the first hunter-killer UAV for long-endurance, high-altitude surveillance. It is developed by General Atomics, It is heavier and more capable than its predecessor. It uses the same ground systems as the MQ-1. The Reaper has a has a 950-shaft-horsepower (712 kW) turboprop engine, far more powerful than the Predator's 115 hp (86 kW) piston engine. The power increase allows the Reaper to carry 15 times more ordinance payload and cruise at almost three times faster than the speed of the MQ-1. The aircraft is monitored and controlled by aircrew in the Ground Control Station (GCS), including weapons employment.

Crew: 0 onboard, 2 in ground station
Length: 36 ft 1 in (11 m)
Wingspan: 65 ft 7 in (20 m)
Height: 11 ft 10 in (3.6 m)
Empty weight: 4,901 lb (2,223 kg)
Max takeoff weight: 10,494 lb (4,760 kg)
Fuel capacity: 4,000 lb (1,800 kg)
Payload: 3,800 lb (1,700 kg)
Internal: 800 lb (360 kg)
External: 3,000 lb (1,400 kg)
Powerplant: 1 × Honeywell TPE331-10 turboprop, 900 hp (671 kW) with Digital Electronic Engine Control (DEEC)
Maximum speed: 300 mph; 260 kn (482 km/h)
Cruising speed: 194 mph; 169 kn (313 km/h)
Range: 1,151 mi; 1,852 km (1,000 nmi)
Endurance: 14 hours fully loaded
Service ceiling: 50,000 ft (15,240 m)
Operational altitude: 25,000 ft (7.5 km)
Armanent: Up to 4 AGM-114 Hellfire air to ground missiles can be carried or four Hellfire missiles and two 500 lb (230 kg) GBU-12 Paveway II laser-guided bombs. The 500 lb (230 kg) GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) can also be carried.
With the success of the MQ-1 in combat, General Atomics anticipated the Air Force's desire for an upgraded aircraft and, using its own funds, set about redesigning the Predator drone for increased ability and thus the MQ-9 was born. Both drones saw action in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Well that ends this post's lesson. I hope you have learned on how much we have improved from the Second World War. From B-2 Bombers to Kill bots.This is Unf0r3seen signing off,Till then I will see you in the next post bye bye. :3
