I am glad we saw the inclusion of electric power/photovoltaic in the patent for the Argus.

This article explains some cool tech...


"Here’s how it works. The ground (or ship) based Laser Transmitter converts electrical power from a primary source into a 1000W single wavelength beam of light. Photovoltaic cells installed on the underside of the UAV that are matched to the laser’s wavelength and beam intensity converts the laser light back to electric power."
"The technology can be used for all sorts of aerial vehicles including micro UAVs, quad copters, more traditional aircraft UAVs and aboard US Navy vessels that deploy UAVs or even Aerostat LTA (lighter than air) blimps for extremely long duration observation and communication missions."
