Freed from human endurance limits, air-refuelable Rapiers can be designed to fly 50-100 hours — and perhaps much more — per sortie. At these extreme mission endurance levels, they can efficiently maintain broad-area persistent coverage from well outside the range of projected anti-access threats.
With the naval variant such extended range will enable a carrier to bring effective combat airpower to bear from blue-water sanctuaries, reducing the requirement for the ship to operate in potentially dangerous littoral regions or choke points. Carrier-based Rapiers are likely to prove exceptionally important for operations at sea, where distances are great and useful bases few. The ability of carrier-based unmanned systems to strike from both the sea, and to loiter for extended periods, even deep within large nations, will deny even geographically large continental opponents the sanctuary of strategic depth.
At the same time, Rapiers tailless, flying-wing planform design enables signature reductions across all radar frequency bands and aspects – a must for persistence missions over hostile territory.
And of course, unmanned operations negate the risk of aircrew casualties or capture, allowing peace time intelligence gathering with reduced risk of triggering an international crisis. Rapier could be deployed during the critical early stages of a crisis before combat search and rescue assets have been deployed. Rapier could also be deployed during the conflict itself in high-risk missions. With no aircrew risks, the F-209 offers a flexible, usable capability across the conflict spectrum.
Rapier can also be employed as a distributed area warfighting system comprised of multiple networked aircraft nodes operating cooperatively. Such a constellation can shore up weaknesses in a broad range of joint mission capability areas. These include, but are not limited to: land and maritime ISR and targeting, communications, time-sensitive ground target attack, maritime interdiction, anti-submarine warfare, and fleet air defense.
The bottom line is that Rapier will enable Carrier Strike Groups to cost-effectively project global persistent surveillance and attack capability for multiple missions at zero aircrew risk. This would not be just an incremental improvement to naval or ground based aviation, but rather a fundamental and transformational revolution
The Rapier is capable for three primary missions; surveillance/reconnaissance, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) and strike and of course all the missions require stealth and consequent survivability. An Air to Air capability is also included.
Surveillance/reconnaissance: The Rapier is equipped with passive and active sensor suites able to cover a large geographic area and have a long loiter time once over the target area.
Suppression of enemy air defense: The Rapier is capable of defense stimulation, deception and neutralization as well as being remotely networked with theater and national sensor systems. Expect the plane to carry a complement of advanced SEAD ordinance and accurately target multiple enemies simultaneously.
Strike: The Rapier is extremely survivable and will carry a complement of existing weapons, as well as a synthetic aperture radar and a state of the art electro-optical / infrared suite all the while being interoperable with current command and control systems.
Now is the time to bring your nations aviation forces into a new reality. Imagine never again putting a flight crew at risk of death and capture, unprecedented mission lengths, and greatly reduced training costs. Trinity Aerospace challenges you to open a new age of military capability. The future is now!

From: The Avaritisian Department of Defense and Military Issues
To: Trinity Aerospace
At the moment, we lack a high-tech UAV such as the one you are offering. We are very interested in the aircraft, and wish to purchase ten carrier-based units for a total of $350,000,000. Depending on future circumstances, we may purchase more at a later time. We have wired the money and are eagerly awaiting delivery.
Sincerely,
Gen. John A. Blitzer, Avaritisian Department of Defense and Military Issues, Aviation Division

Foreign Minister Karakov was...unprepared for meeting Artorrios o SouthWoods, the Chairbear of the Bears Armed Mission to the WA . Karakov, seeing the ursine delegate for the first time, mistook him for an actual bear. So he did what any person would do when confronted with a bear in the middle of an international meeting; he tried to shoot him.
Lucky for all of us, Karakov is a lousy shot.
