It will be christened the "USS George Orwell" and will be used to eavesdrop on sermons delivered within Right Wing Extremist churches (e.g. Christian), and to preemptively deliver ordnance onto would-be suspected possible hate criminals (e.g vets) before they can execute their hate crimes.

“It also will be able to watch ground targets through heavily forested areas, a capability not possible “

AH, the E-8, JSTARS, has a SAR and is able to ‘see thru trees.

THere is also
CSARS (Canadian)
RADARSAT-2
European Space Agency ENVISAT-1 ASAR
RISAT 2 (India)

the list is pretty large.

In a blimp, sorta new. Otherwise, not a lot new tech.

Now, when will be see the Delta Blimp (LASH) come out of the black?
