"Unmanned Systems For An Unsafe World"

"Unmanned systems for an unsafe world." Such is the slogan used in a new set of Northrop Gruman advertisements plastered all over the Capitol South metro stop just steps away from the House office buildings. The ads feature pictures of unmanned helicopters, planes and other assorted fighting machines at work.

Below is a low quality camera phone picture of one of the actual ads in Capitol South featuring what appears to be an unmanned "Fire Scout" helicopter. Similar (but not identical) ads can be found on Northtrop Gruman's website.

We will not stoop to militaty-industrial-complex name calling, but the thought of America's last line of defense being Northrop Gruman robots is "interesting."
