CH-148 Cyclone Progress

The Triton/Global Hawk family doesn’t employ dropped stores. The SeaGuardian version of the MQ-9, however, shows promise. It has long endurance, can carry an impressive amount of sonobouys, and acts as a rebroadcaster for sonobouy data. I don’t think anyone’s dropped a torpedo yet from a Reaper variant, but that capability might be coming soon.

Not if reaper doesn’t have a heated, internal weapons bay, will they carry and drop torpedos.

Thanks, that was a misspeak on my part.

What’s the range hit if they stay at a low enough altitude?

No idea. Can they stay safe, flying low in weather goo that might include icing conditions, instead of going over it?
