UAV Stealth and Radar Energy Capture for Power and Propulsion to drive your enemy crazy. Powering a UAV, being able to reuse it, increasing it's payload takes a lot of trial and error and engineering and research. Here is a thought. Use a composite fiber, with blown chemically coated foam. The main ingredient of the foam which will make up it's body and wings will be Helium and/or N2. Reason being that it will be hard to shoot down with a chemical laser or CO2 Laser which finds it, shoots at it or is tracking it as a kill target. Also realize that if the inside of the foam contains a substance which can absorb the radar of the enemy into the composite and then use that energy for power of the craft, by way of chemical reaction or enhancemnet of the battery pack, then you can use the enemies radar to self propel your craft. CO2 is the most efficient laser known for drilling lasers, and would also work well with RF to shoot down UAVs. But there maybe a way to have the heat caused by the hitting of the target UAV to trigger a pressure heat switch which would cause an immediate 90 degree turn. Each time triggering another turn. Thus one UAV in a swarm could cause the laser system to go bizerk. If you had UAVs in a swarm crisscrossing each other and flying irratically, then you cannot shoot down any of them and drives your enemy crazy. Or perhaps you can soak up the energy of the laser and use it for recharging batteries to fly another 10 hours. Once charged it would simply start the 90 degree turns and speed up and slow down in a randomly calibrated simulation.
