Northrop B-2 Spirit Bomber Followed by two Lockheed F-117 Nighthawks

File photo released by the United States Air Force on July 19, 2000 showing a Northrop B-2 Spirit bomber followed by two Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk fighters during an undisclosed mission in an undisclosed location. The B-2 is a multi-role bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions. A dramatic leap forward in technology, the bomber represents a major milestone in the US bomber modernization program. The B-2 brings massive firepower to bear, in a short time, anywhere on the globe through previously impenetrable defenses. Photo by United States Air Force via CNP/ABACAPRESS.COM

B-2 Stealth Bomber in Formation

Philippine Sea - June 18, 2006 -- A Northrop B-2 Stealth Bomber assigned to Whiteman Air Force Base (AFB), Missouri, leads an aerial flight formation during Exercise Valiant Shield 2006. The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike group is currently participating in Exercise Valiant Shield along with the Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group and the Kitty Hawk Carrier Strike Group. Valiant Shield focuses on integrated joint training among U.S. military forces, enabling real-world proficiency in sustaining joint forces and in detecting, locating, tracking and engaging units at sea, in the air, on land and cyberspace in response to a range of mission areas.

Manta Ray The US Navy's Secret Weapon

Handout photo shows the stealth submarine that will revolutionize naval warfare. To dominate the oceans, the US Navy is launching an autonomous drone capable of carrying out long-duration missions without human intervention. To enemy forces, it will be so much like a manta ray that it will be hard to miss. In reality, it's a military technological feat, since the Manta Ray is an autonomous aquatic drone developed by Northrop Grumman for Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). This unmanned submersible vehicle offers previously unseen capabilities in terms of autonomy and stealth. The biomimetic approach is not just aesthetic. Its hydrodynamic shape enables it to move through the water with minimal energy consumption and a reduced acoustic signature, making it difficult to detect. The Manta Ray will not be limited to being a simple surveillance drone. Its imposing size (exact dimensions remain classified) allows it to carry a substantial payload, paving the way for a multitude of potential missions,
