From Birthdays to Battlefields



From Birtdays to Battlefields

It's everybody's favorite part of the party! Happy Birthday was sung and people are beginning to get antsy. What did the birthday boy get? Gifts upon gifts of course, and then finally, he opens the gift that he has been asking for since they were invented. He got a drone for his birthday! Not only can it fly to the clouds, but it can record every single step of the way. What adventures were to come from the mind of this young man? And also, what sort of things could he do with his brand new piece of technology? But the better question is, how many other people have this technology? And how high tech is that compared to what you can buy in any store? The answer may blow you away.

It's a bird! It's a plane!...

Next time you go outside, look up, what do you see? The blue, gray, and white that we see nearly everyday, maybe even a plane or two. One thing your eyes wont be able to see is a high tech military drone passing overhead. So high up and moving so fast, these pieces of military technology are almost completely invisible to the naked eye and even most radars that are trying to watch for these elusive drones. Controlled from miles upon miles away, and nearly indistinguishable from a bird, these drones tend to impress.

Guardian Angels!

Who is in control of these robotic birds flying throughout the sky? How well can they see what the drone sees? The men and women that are actually in control are members of our very own military!  Our drones have the ability to search for targets and view them for days on end. Once they have acquired enough information on the target and they see it as a threat, they have the ability to destroy that target with the drone. No need to worry though! The drones are unmanned and are controlled on U.S. soils, which are separated by sea from where these actions typically take place.

Have No Fear!

Thankfully, our military only uses these drones for our protection and we can enjoy our lives and live in peace. Our safety is very important and that's why new technological advancements are being put into place every single day. Our military personnel can also be safe considering the distance at which our technology can be controlled. The eye in the sky surveillance that we currently have will keep us away from harm for years upon years to come considering we can see any advancements that foreign nations make with their very own military. With drones on our side, we can open our birthday gifts with not a single worry in the world. Eating our celebratory cake has never been more blissful, and it won't ever be any other way!
