Two X-45A Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAV) are shown to members of the news media July 11, 2002 at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The X-45A, developed by The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Boeing Company, is the first unmanned system designed from inception for combat missions.
For the past few years, the United States defense agencies have relied on drones and other unmanned weapons to target enemies without dealing with casualties.
However, existing UAVs still have some limitations that prevent them from becoming the perfect defense techs of the U.S. military.
But, this is expected to change, thanks to the upcoming drones of the Valkyrie Systems Aerospace.
U.S. Military To Receive New Valkyrie Drones
According to Defense Post's recent report, the Valkyrie Systems Aerospace previously received a research grant from the U.S. Air Force to work on drones.

Michael Martinez, airframe and power plant mechanic with General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., inspects an MQ-9 Reaper during a pre-flight check August 8, 2007 at Creech Air Force Base in Indian Springs, Nevada. The Reaper is the Air Force's first "hunter-killer" unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), designed to engage time-sensitive targets on the battlefield as well as provide intelligence and surveillance.

These are specifically the new Guardian and Eagle drones, capable of performing personnel recovery, aeromedical evacuation, Tactical Mobility operations, and Space Operations Forces exfiltration.
On the other hand, these two new drones can also fly or move on all terrains, acting as amphibious vehicles, aircraft, and hovercraft.
Thanks to these capabilities, the U.S. military and other American defense agencies can use Valkyrie Guardian and Eagle drones depending on their needs.
The Valkyrie Systems Aerospace said that their new defense techs could maximize the payload, size, flexibility, survivability, range, and speed of the missions conducted by the U.S. military, as reported by AutoEvolution.
How Efficient Valkyrie's New Drones Are?
Recently, Valkyrie shared its solutions for UAVs. These include the development of drones capable of taking off and landing vertically on water, ice, land, and rough terrains.
The UAV manufacturer will also integrate features that will allow these new drones to operate in all kinds of weather conditions.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Space Command planned to use non-traditional sensors for ground and sea missile defense radars.
On the other hand, the U.S. military wants to demonstrate a new space nuclear system around 2027.
