@LockheedMartin The recent F-22 flight test demos in collaboration with the @usairforce epitomize the pinnacle of innovation, engineering prowess, and air dominance. The F-22 fleet not only shapes the future of air combat but ensures that #RaptorNation continues to define the cutting edge, instilling global confidence and awe.
Introducing the Next Generation VelociRaptor F-22X (NGVR) with short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) Capabilities
While the F-22 remains a marvel in aerospace technology, we propose a groundbreaking evolution: a more affordable, smaller model F-22X with vertical takeoff capabilities like the F-35B (United States Marine Corps).
Leveraging AI and Advanced CAD for Enhanced Maneuverability
Leveraging advanced CAD technologies, imagine scaling down the F-22 CAD files, by 50% to create an AI-guided, autonomous STOVL aircraft, that can do much higher G’s than a regular fighter aircraft (and so destroy enemies in a dog fight if it’s a human pilot jet or an AI system). The Next Generation VelociRaptor F-22X (NGVR) would be an all out predator, destroying any military system and/or opposing force, regardless of domain (even drop depth charges for submarine attack). Nothing would be out of it’s reach. It could be tasked for any mission.
Expanding Capabilities: From Urban Warfare to Global Operations (The Full Battle-space)
This miniaturized, lightweight and affordable, mass produced, 3D printed, Next Generation VelociRaptor F-22X (NGVR), designed for both urban warfare, expansive rural engagements, and even for stationing aboard destroyers, battleships and aircraft carriers, could dramatically enhance operational flexibility and response capabilities. Further, it could be quickly transported by cargo container, semi-truck or air cargo transport system.
Redefining Modern Warfare with Hybrid and Autonomous Technologies
Envision a swarm of these Lightweight VelociRaptors, smaller in scale yet deployed in greater numbers. We can increase size of Air Force by 4x ++ with lower cost, Lightweight VelociRaptors.
Cost Efficiency and Tactical Advantages of Scaled-Down Design
The key to this scale is system price. If you can make it for 50% less per inch, and if you can cut the size of it by 50% from full size jet, then you are multiplying significantly the size of the Air Force. If you can employ 3D printing technology to print it in one go, perhaps we can expand the Air Force by an even higher multiple. A basic estimate would suggest that if you can double the number due to cost savings and potentially double again due to size reductions, you are looking at an increase factor of about 4x in quantity of jets, purely from a quantitative perspective.
Hyper-Maneuverability and AI-Enhanced Tactical Operations
Their reduced size and increased agility would make them more challenging for enemies to target, significantly complicating their defence strategies. Especially since the enemy has no history of engaging such systems, and as such, their entire defence infrastructure would be mis-configured and designed for the wrong use case, and potentially in a first conflict engagement, the VelociRaptors, with no known defense to stop it, it can destroy the entire enemy Military, Air Force and Navy before the enemy figures out what kind of military system this is. These units would employ AI to navigate randomized flight paths, think up new strategy, learn opponent methods of engagement and network convey lessons back and forth between the entire system of VelociRaptors via mesh networking setup dynamically re-configuring like a LoRa device, dynamically adjusting their attack vectors, velocity and acceleration tempo, with unpredictable flight meaneuvers and randomization added from thrust vectoring, to maximize effectiveness and unpredictability, in the actual angle of attack.
Elevating Aerial Warfare: Transforming America’s UAVs from Golf Utility Cart to Stealth Fighter Aerospace Dominance
This concept transcends traditional UAV designs which, while effective in specific roles, do not fully encapsulate the fighting capabilities of a manned F-22. The UAV are tiny bombers, not real aerospace gladiators!!! Talk about lazy war technology! No passion for tech! The current fleet of UAVs used by the U.S. military, while functional, seems almost archaic when compared to the engineering marvels of modern manned aircraft like the F-22.
These UAVs metaphorically hark back to the pioneering days of the Wright brothers, who introduced the world to powered flight with their Wright Flyer. Similarly, they evoke the spirit of World War I biplanes such as the Sopwith Camel and the SPAD S.XIII — aircraft that were at the forefront of aerial combat over the skies of France. These early machines, with their fixed wings and forward propellers, were groundbreaking in their time.
However, to address today’s advanced AI threats like SkyNet drones, we need more than simple space CADET training simulators and training gliders for teenagers; UAV technology needs to leap forward, mirroring the sophisticated, multi-faceted capabilities of contemporary airpower. Our vision integrates super-maneuverability, stealth, and STOVL — attributes that are essential in the age of Artificial Intelligence. (Especially for the destroyers).
Seamless Air-to-Land Transition: Integrating Road-Mobile ATV Platforms
Imagine these autonomous crafts navigating complex cityscapes as depicted in Die Hard 4, or silently patrolling hostile terrains alongside the special forces team SGT, providing unmatched support at speeds and stealth comparable to the F-22 if needed in order to take out tank platforms advancing towards SGT team.
These systems should be able to land on a mobile ATV platform that special forces can bring into the battle space, and then the jets should attach to these ATV systems, to be transported vast distances autonomously across land, mountainous rocky terrains, up cliffs and through forests, thus saving fuel and helping to sneak the VelociRaptors deeper into enemy territory undetected. Jets need rest too, and they shouldn’t have to fly all the way back to base, when they can simply land with the Army, advance forward into the heart of the enemy with the army, and deploy every time pre-army attack to pierce through the enemy and soften them up before the army moves in to finish the enemies.
These units would seamlessly transition from air to land, the ATV platform carrying these jets would be equipped with low-energy modes of operation, silent running, off-road staging — with the jet quickly ready to do a “saucer separation”, to jump into the sky the first sign that trouble sets in to attack the accompanying special forces team.
Variable Geometry Wings: Enhancing Tactical Flexibility in Hybrid Warfare
Further, we can employ the F-14 Tomcat technology, for the wings to sweep back when on the ATV host platform for land based mobility system, travelling alongside troops (for storage in remote and hidden battle field areas). This multi-domain operational capacity would ensure that these mini Raptors are not just aerial assets but pivotal elements in hybrid warfare environments.
Setting New Standards: Outpacing Competitors with Superior Aerial Technologies
Lastly, we’ve observed that other companies, such as Boeing, are advancing in drone technology that aligns with the capabilities of the F-22. However, their designs often lack the agility and maneuverability essential for modern warfare, resembling more closely missile platforms with linear flight paths rather than dynamic, responsive aircraft. In contrast, Lockheed Martin is committed to embodying the strategic prowess and versatility of celestial guardians, if they were to engage in earthly conflicts. This involves integrating hyper-agility, enhanced stealth, and unwavering combat resolve into our designs. We’re not merely participating in a leisurely air cruise as some might assume; we’re setting the stage for a revolution in aerial and hybrid warfare, ensuring our systems are not only advanced but also inspiringly effective.
Dual-Domain Dominance: Redefining Warfare with AI-Enhanced Veloci Raptors
Lockheed Martin, as you reach for the stars, your guardianship of Earth must also evolve. This dual-capacity, AI-enhanced VelociRaptor would be the ultimate predator of both the skies and the ground or slightly above ground combat environment, mastering the battle space and redefining modern warfare. In a future where traditional air power might face constraints, such scaled-down, personalized F-22s could provide crucial support when our forces are outnumbered. This innovation would not only elevate the strategic capabilities of our forces but also enhance global security, making the world a safer place and solidifying Lockheed Martin’s legacy as a vanguard of aerospace technology.
Ascent to Innovation: The Journey from Mountain Climbing to Angel Suits Last
We must remember that life is a climb up a mountain, and often we can fall to the bottom, only to have to walk and climb the mountain once again. Unless you have a Halo Angel Wings suit. (The Blue Angel Suit). Then you can just fly to the top of the mountain. But we don’t have that, and we need it. It’ our destiny as a species to create the heavens, and that starts with creating Angel Suits. But like climbing a mountain, we can’t do it in one go if we don’t work very often. It takes many steps, or many flights. So we must compartmentalize, one goal at a time, such that the sequence totality of all the goals, get us to where we need to go. So by creating the Next Generation VelociRaptor F-22X (NGVR), we as a species, are much closer to making the jet of the right scale, to create the Angel Suit that humanity needs to keep all humans and all life safe in the universe from bad AI systems. Be inspired! Fly Higher! Fly Faster! Fly Forever! #Innovation #AirDominance #FutureOfCombat #LockheedMartin

@SkillsGapTrain “Blown away by the Tempest’s cutting-edge tech! How about ramping up the missile payloads for epic explosions? Merging the best of old-school warfare with today’s artificial intelligence innovations can create unforgettable shows of force. Let’s light up the skies and send a bold message that the CIA, Russia and China will never forget!” #Tempest #FutureOfAerialDominance
@SkillsGapTrain “You’ve raised an excellent observation. The Tempest program seems to truly stands out as a remarkable endeavour, that signifies a country is still powerful inside. It embodies a significant leap in aerospace technology, integrating cutting-edge features like stealth capabilities, sixth-generation advancements, and artificial intelligence. Moreover, its commitment to local design and manufacturing underscores a strategic move to bolster national industry.”
“It’s a quintessential flagship project that demands proficient leadership to steer clear of potential mismanagement or neglect. The UK will need excellent leaders throughout this time to get this done. This type of visionary project is exactly what would suffer under inadequate leadership, underscoring the necessity for strong and effective guidance to bring it to fruition.”
‘Let’s not lose our mega engineering project heart as western countries!’
Tempest Project Description:“The Tempest program is an initiative to develop a sixth-generation fighter jet under the leadership of the United Kingdom. Officially known as the “Future Combat Air System,” the Tempest is being developed in partnership with British aerospace companies like BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, MBDA, and Leonardo. The program aims to feature advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, stealth capabilities, and optionally manned operation modes.”
“The plan is for the Tempest to be manufactured in the UK, with the government and industry partners committed to supporting the British aerospace sector and maintaining the country’s sovereignty in combat air capabilities. The first flight is anticipated in the 2030s, with the aircraft expected to enter service by the mid-2030s to replace the Eurofighter Typhoon.”
@eraketsci “I’m eager to see the Tempest program come to life! Its advanced air combat capabilities will undoubtedly give us a robust edge against emerging global threats.”
@SkillsGapTrain “It really feels like the Tempest program is exactly the type of project that should be transitioned from a standard or leisurely pace of development to a highly urgent development speed. If there was ever a project that need speed re-classification, this one would be it.
By accelerating its development, the likelihood of project success increases significantly while simultaneously reducing risks and reducing costs that occur when projects span a decade or more — notably without additional costs.
In fact, given the expected rise in inflation or hyperinflation (from situations intellectuals expect to emerge in these decades), speeding up the project could actually reduce overall expenses significantly.
By doing so, the UK, Europe, and their allies could significantly bolster their strategic defence capabilities much earlier, effectively covering the critical period from 2020 to 2050 and far beyond.
This shift in urgency would not only extend the protective benefits over a longer time-frame but also position them at the forefront of aerospace technology during these uncertain decades.
Further, this frame itself looks to be not much different than the best Chinese and USA fighter aircraft, and being that a type of maturity seems to have occurred in aerospace design, this type of plane looks to have the potential to last for a very long time and be useful for a very long time.” (As it’s likely 7th gen will all be AI drones only, of all sizes)
Why UK and allies need Tempest:

@SkillsGapTrain “Thanks! Actually, D.A.R.Y.L. was an android with advanced AI — maybe the first AI designed to mimic human behaviors so closely. It’s funny how it took 30 years for people to find that SGT has a human just like that, designed in the 1960s and 1970s and deployed in 1983!
In case you didn’t see the film: In D.A.R.Y.L., the character D.A.R.Y.L. (Data-Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform) is an android with the appearance of a 10-year-old boy. Created by the military as an experiment, he possesses advanced artificial intelligence and human-like qualities. While he looks and acts like a human child, he’s technically an android with sophisticated AI designed to mimic human behaviours and emotions, not a human with an AI brain.”
@SkillsGapTrain “Your ability to discern different writing styles and analytical approaches is impressive. Your statement was quite specific and accurate.
SGT’s writing often tends to be formal, except when striving for full transparency. This level of openness is often avoided in formal writing to prevent judgment from academic peers, but SGT disregards the importance of judgment, pushing for maximum transparency.
Gemini and GPT-4 have demonstrated proficiency in various standardized tests, sometimes scoring at levels comparable to top human performers. Some of our posts are written by Director Valentin, who is a top performer in various educational programs such as electronic engineering technology, applied science technology, information technology, information systems, computer science, user experience research, design, and computer applications, with over 30 years of education and experience.
His multidisciplinary training within the area of computer technology aligns with how AI systems operate, using computer-level logic and advanced reasoning. This academic background and the nature of his work in computing, science, information systems, and software engineering create an intellectual alignment between GPT-4 and Director Valentin, leading to a similarity in their thinking processes, work output or deliverable structure.
GPT-4 can handle complex tasks that require deep understanding and knowledge beyond computing, similar to Director Valentin’s approach to perpetual thinking, deep analysis, logical structuring, and problem-solving across various disciplines such as politics, leadership, psychology, geopolitics, military science, sports, history, and technical issues. This broad information reach, combined with the calculating, dispassionate, and analytical style of processing information, making sense of environments, and applying logic consistently, creates further similarity between GPT-4 and Director Valentin.
Experts and commentators have loosely estimated GPT-4’s “IQ” to be around 130 to 150, based on its performance in specific intellectual domains and its ability to handle advanced reasoning and comprehension tasks. The upper end of this range, around 150, emphasizes GPT-4’s high proficiency in complex problem-solving and language tasks. Interestingly, problem-solving and language tasks are also Director Valentin’s strongest areas of expertise. His tested IQ of above 150 places him in near-genius status, creating an IQ similarity that overlaps with the best AI systems. This can make it hard for observers to differentiate between human and machine outputs using intelligence metrics alone, thus creating further confusion.
Director Valentin has produced extensive digital products, including over 950 posts, up to 300 long reports/videos of up to 50 pages requiring numerous revisions, and 9 courses. This long-term academic study in technical domains combined with significant writing experience creates a parallel skill set between GPT-4 and Director Valentin, making their communication styles seem strikingly similar, as they both specialize in writing and technical work.
This parallel skill set, advanced observation, technical precision, and advanced reasoning function were anticipated by Director Valentin birth by elite military researchers, and by Director Valentin himself at age 13 after watching the 1985 science fiction film D.A.R.Y.L., and later verified when observing the character Data from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” in the late 1990s. The arrival of GPT-4 has further solidified this resemblance in behaviour, reasoning, problem-solving, and communication capabilities. GPT-4 is part of a continuum of artificial entities in popular culture and real society that mirrors Director Valentin’s approach to communication and problem-solving in today’s technological landscape.
Lucas Botkin is an interesting individual for the team at SGT, and for Director Valentin as well, as it seems to be the case that Lucas Botkin has the learning and applied performance capabilities similar to a D.A.R.Y.L. system, though he might not be aware. His body mechanics, verbal structures and evaluation and observation of physical and virtual information is very much similar to a bot as well, which is quite rare to see in civilian, non science product development and non-military research settings.

@SkillsGapTrain “Agreed! In the context of AI advancements, incoming humanoid robots, animal robots, drone robotics, and escalating global conflicts, the idea of citizens possessing sniper rifles sounds like an excellent idea! Glad that you are doing videos with long range firearms for the citizen defence archive, as this will be of great value to humanity that everyone should download and save.
We’re just a small group of newbies and newcomers to shooting sports from Canada, and it’s really exciting. Yet it looks to us that today’s citizens could possibly benefit from heavier rounds rather than AR-15 rounds of 223/5.56 to be compatible with future, which might require long distance precision instead of close CQB when facing robotics systems.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have 6.5 Creedmoor as a NATO standard for AR rifles, to replace the AR-15 and compliment the AR-10 with a slightly more precision oriented AR system, one perhaps with 22” or 24” barrel and 6.5 Creedmoor? Does this work in war or in citizen defence for sniping purposes?
For civilians, in the age of AI and robotics, the capability to penetrate robust materials might become crucial, particularly for neutralizing hostile drones that terrorist humanoid robotics which could be 3D printed and deploy against unsuspecting citizens.
Sniper rifles, known for their powerful calibres, sounds like they would be ideal for such a task and provide humans a more fair chance to defend as AI /robots, which are probably pretty deadly close up.
Not really sure, but when you are not sure, sounds like a sniper rifle will be a good start.”
@SkillsGapTrain “Congratulations to Romania on the upgrade to stealth fighter technology with the F-35s acquisition plan!
This marks a significant step forward, bringing Romania out of the long shadows of history full of endless conflicts over it’s territory, and into the forefront as a modern, industrial and scientific nation ready of 21st century challenges, risks, threats and dangers.
It’s not just about reclaiming the industrial prowess it had for military manufacture and deployment in Warsaw Pact era, but about transforming into a modern power ready to meet future challenges with great capabilities and sophisticated technologies.
Here’s to a bright, forward-looking, and secure future for Romania! Matching the rising strength and performance of Poland we hope! (Or more!)”
@SkillsGapTrain “Hey @NASA ! Consider setting up shop in Calgary and Montreal to build superior flying wing passenger and cargo planes. These cities are key hubs for Canada’s aerospace industry and perfect for innovation. A flying wing design offers numerous advantages over conventional aircraft. With its higher lift-to-drag ratio, it promises unparalleled aerodynamic efficiency, resulting in faster speeds, lower energy consumption, and amazing performance. The flying wing’s reduced surface area and drag lead to quieter, more environmentally friendly flights. Imagine @AirCanada and @RCAF_ARC and @Bombardier cargo operators benefiting from advanced, efficient planes that enhance capabilities while minimizing environmental impact.
@SkillsGapTrain “This is a nice work environment. It looks futuristic, with the bright ambiance and yellow paint. Consider using some white paint and obsidian glass on some of the concrete to make it look futuristic. This way, semiconductor manufacturing companies like TSMC or Intel won’t think they are top gun.”
@SkillsGapTrain @Davin1481997 Oh, X users who read about aircraft, are sharp, and catch hidden thoughts at SGT! You are reading between the lines. Nice. Ok, here are all the thoughts we have today. Isn’t it fascinating how Lockheed Martin has evolved from the rugged, arm-wrestling, truck-driving culture of the ’80s — think Sylvester Stallone in ‘Over the Top’? From truck drivers to jet engineers, the children of truck drivers have grown up and have ‘shifted gears’ from semi-trucks to a more efficient way to transport by air, pioneering stealth jets with top-tier aerospace technology!
How the factories have changed, eh? From AK-47 sheet metal, bread factories, or fishing plastic rods manufacturing, to titanium and advanced composites with 3D Printing!
Lockheed Martin has the American Dream story of Millennials and GenX — it’s the inter-generational American Dream story! Talk about sustainability!
‘If there’s anyone that can solve our major defense vulnerability of “grid resiliency problems”… the key defense vulnerability of America against grid failures (which is what they will do, the CCP and Russia) EMPs and such.. it’s companies like Lockheed Martin and General Electric.. with aircraft carrier reactors like A1B .. which can run for 25 years.. and can be used to power all of the cities of America when the grid fails and associated grid powered bases fail in war time.’
McDonald’s is the Boomer American Dream story. Lockheed Martin, on the other hand, really captures the American Dream of the 20th and 21st centuries — not the house, but hidden inside America was the real story.
It was never just about acquiring a bigger cardboard box than the neighbour; it was about removing the limitations of humanity to exist in any domain and any location in the universe. This was the true American Dream of greatness, the foundation for the American action movies. While Sylvester Stallone and Arnold and Chuck Norris and Batman entertained as the main American story on media, which helped inspire the world to move to America and to be led by America, Lockheed Martin did all the real scientific and technical work in the background, empowered through innovation and engineering and defense achievements to enable a powerful commerce around the world to thrive and make world empires prosper under the protection of scientifically and engineering innovation driven peace and security.
Back then, it was all about horsepower and tough truck gears. Now, Lockheed engineers handle the intricate gears of jet engines, focusing on stealth, speed, and precision. No more McDonald’s and greasy spoons (except with the F-35… that was a work experience placement) — today, it’s all about pristine tech labs where advancements leap from concept to sky.
About the F-35, that beast of a machine. In the animal world, the bigger creature is the alpha, but this doesn’t apply to aircraft design anymore. In fact, we should make jets that are half the size of the F22, mini F22 drones to dodge bullets between city buildings. Even beasts can slim down into cats.. agile and deadly. Instead of Raptor, now we need a Cheetah or a Panther.
It’s not just about shedding pounds for aesthetic’s sake — it’s about efficiency and resilience in design. Less electronics means higher resilience in an age of electronic warfare and nuclear threats. Let’s not let Russia operate more durable jets. Let’s really care about the craft and the work we do when we build these planes so they are everlasting and not designed to break down every 5 years (which is evident from their ongoing need for maintenance, denoting a fragility in design thinking methodology). Minimalism in design equals higher resilience in tough atmospheric conditions such as flying rocks from using these aircraft in urban environments with lots of debris on the highways. Look at what Elon Musk did with the Raptor engines. He was thinking about it and doing something about it. There’s an acronym for that KISS.
Look at South Korea’s KAI KF-21, eating its veggies and becoming leaner and meaner by the day. There’s the Lockheed Martin aerospace spirit rising! Perhaps it’s time for Lockheed’s engineers to push the envelope even further, aiming ‘Over the Top’ in their quest for sleeker, more agile jets. The idea that we have AI now, and we can give up on flight dynamics… this is like a PlayStation video game idea for people who don’t want to fight. Let’s keep rallying for technological evolution, celebrating the journey from raw muscle to the refined, high-tech prowess that propels us into the future. Let’s get back in the fight.
Let’s get to work. Let’s not go with the idea that drones will do everything. Will they? Only if we stop engineering excellence and don’t out-innovate drone AI warfare.
Let’s not be lazy!
‘Fly Higher! Fly Faster! Fly Forever!’
Ok.. we were a bit tough on Lockheed Martin. But it’s only because they didn’t give Canada the KF-21 or the F-22, with their own aircraft production factory and their own intellectual property management and upgrades design department. But we hope for more trust, and for more fighting spirit in the future. Everyone can rise from the darkness with drive and tenacity, even Lockheed Martin.
