The Lockheed D-21B, a Cold War-era unmanned reconnaissance drone, had a modest profile. Measuring 43 feet in length with a 19-foot wingspan, it achieved speeds up to Mach 3.3 at altitudes of 95,000 feet. Primarily designed for surveillance, it housed standard intelligence-gathering equipment for its time.

The above image is a scan from an original Kodachrome™ slide. The default size is 2000 x 1250 pixels, so clicking on the photo will enlarge it for better viewing.
The original image comes from my slide collection, amassed over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and ones acquired through trades or purchases.
I created this Photostream in 2017 for the purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, as otherwise they would just remain in binders and boxes, not being enjoyed by anyone, myself included.
Comments are welcome.

No reconnaissance aircraft in history has operated globally in more hostile airspace or with such complete impunity than the SR-71, the world's fastest jet-propelled aircraft. The Blackbird's performance and operational achievements placed it at the pinnacle of aviation technology developments during the Cold War.
This Blackbird accrued about 2,800 hours of flight time during 24 years of active service with the U.S. Air Force. On its last flight, March 6, 1990, Lt. Col. Ed Yielding and Lt. Col. Joseph Vida set a speed record by flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., in 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 20 seconds, averaging 3,418 kilometers (2,124 miles) per hour. At the flight's conclusion, they landed at Washington-Dulles International Airport and turned the airplane over to the Smithsonian.

Private, 1941 built, Lockheed 12A Electra Junior, c/n 1287, reg F-AZLL, painted to simulate the Lockheed 10A Electra NR16020 in which Amelia Earhardt dissapeared on 1937. Seen at La Fertè Alais (LFQQ) during "Les Temps des helices 2022".
Because of the high demand for American presence in numerous regions across the globe, the United States Department of Defense (DOD) has continued to harp on the issue of fulfilling personnel numbers. With sizable deployments to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Central and East Asia, the United States' armed forces are being stretched thinner than anticipated. Moreover, the global trend towards greater urbanization means conventional fights against peer-level adversaries will swallow up tremendous resources as city blocks have to be cleared one-by-one and policed during an occupation. This sorry fact was more than alluded to by the two Eastern European Wars which saw extreme urban combat across the Balkans and Ukraine--and many of the cities involved pale in size when compared to those of East Asia. To cut to the chase, the DOD has become tremendously worried about fulfilling its security obligations should one--let alone two or more--corners of the world crank up the heat.
With this in mind, the various service branches undertook independent initiatives to circumvent personnel problems. As to be expected, many of these experiments revolve around automated systems to lighten the burden on existing personnel and augment existing forces. For example, the Army's Army Evolved 2040 initiative produced the Oshkosh Future (Autonomous) Cargo Truck [or F(A)CT] to reduce the number of men and women necessary to keep physical logistical lines operational. By slaving trucks to escort vehicles or giving the driverless vehicles completely digitized routes to follow, the Army can focus more on shoring up its forward presence.
The principles outlined above were continued under a similar program executed by the Lockheed Martin Corporation. Designed by the Missiles and Fire Control facilities, LockMart unveiled the Unmanned Modular Platform for Intelligence, Reconnaissance, and Engagement (UMPIRE) as a way to add more lethality and C4ISR redundancies to the Army Evolved 2040 initiative. Meant to be a cross between a patrol vehicle and an intelligence node, the UMPIRE is able to conduct both supportive and independent operations, particularly those within dense urban areas. Ideally, the UMPIRE is meant to replace sentries and vulnerable investigation crews via its abilities to traverse difficult terrain/obstacles and relay high fidelity spatial data with its assortment of optical and acoustic instruments. This reduces troop exposure to buried explosives, snipers, coincidental injuries, and other precarious traps that would otherwise attrite coalition forces in a given locale.
Early fielding experiments with the UMPIRE have proven overwhelmingly successful by Army Evolved standards. Although logistical setbacks have been encountered due to the need to learn how to maintain a new class of vehicle, the Army has been able to adjust and train skilled crews on how to properly care for the vehicle. Additionally, the UMPIRE's needs are relatively low compared to robotic platforms from other nations as the vehicle was heavily inspired by America's next generation of lunar and Martian exploration rovers. Indeed, the unique wheel setup not only gives the UMPIRE the ability to climb challenging terrain (e.g. the moon's surface or a collapsed building), but offers propulsion redundancies as each wheel is equipped with a hub motor. Furthermore, the entire platform uses hybrid energy sources, so it has a relatively high range and prolonged ability to loiter/stalk depending on the mission set. The modularity of the base unit also allows for various weapons to be mounted on the vehicle (the units demonstrated above are equipped with 20mm remote weapons stations), or non-lethal crowd-control devices, enhanced intelligence-gathering instruments, or anything along those lines. More or less, the UMPIRE is indeed a highly versatile and autonomous system--perfect for the growing demands placed upon the US military.
