Editor’s Insights
In-depth analyses and expert reviews from our MilTech editorial team.
Excellent
Pros
- Fast sprint + persistent loiter in a compact hull; >35 kt shown at Navy exercise.
- COTS-first design and near-toolless manufacturing enable rapid iteration and lower unit cost.
- Rich comms stack (LTE/Iridium/Starlink/mesh) for DMO and remote ISR tasking.
- Hidden aerial-vehicle bay + modular EO/IR, radar, AIS expand ID and reach.
- Design philosophy aligns with DARPA NOMARS logic (no human constraints → reliability/producibility).
Cons
- Endurance claims (“multi-week loiter”) need transparent fuel/consumption data.
- Sea-state 6 operability for a 17-ft craft is ambitious; real ISR stability may vary with conditions.
- GNSS-jam/spoof resilience not detailed (sensor fusion modes, drift bounds, contingency nav).
- Weaponization path unclear beyond “lethality in conflict” note.

SCEPTRE Ramjet 155mm Review – UK’s Leap in Artillery Technology
The SCEPTRE ramjet-powered 155mm round promises unmatched range and precision, but faces technical and cost hurdles before battlefield deployment.
Read More4.3 / 5
Pros
- Extended range (80–100 km)
- Supersonic terminal velocity ensures lethality
- Strengthens UK/NATO artillery overmatch
- Potentially cost-effective alternative to missile strikes
Cons
- Unproven propulsion concept in combat
- Reliance on GPS guidance (EW vulnerability)
- Higher manufacturing complexity and cost
- Technology still at early TRL (Technology Readiness Level)
