Vulture strato-wingship keeps on going

The DARPA-backed Vulture strato-wingship is able to keep on going for up to 5 years in our upper atmosphere without the need to land, thanks to it being feather light and yet strong. This electrically propelled aircraft can charge up onboard energy-storage systems by harnessing the power of the sun, and during those moments of darkness, the Vulture will have to depend solely on stored energy in order to navigate through powerful stratospheric winds and keep the payload system running. Vulture II is expected to proceed next month within a $155 million budget. We wonder what will the military do with the Vulture II when it is released – an eye in the sky network that is more mobile than military satellites?
