(CNN) -- Got an idea on how to make a flying aircraft carrier? The Defense Department wants to know about it.

The Defense Advanced Research Products Agency has a request out for ideas on how to develop an airborne platform that could both launch and recover other aircraft.

But before you start looking for schematics of the Starship Enterprise (NCC-1701) or Battlestar Galactica, or how you might levitate the USS Nimitz, think a little smaller, like B-1, B-52 or C-130.

DARPA wants ideas on how to turn those aircraft currently in the Pentagon inventory into platforms that could carry Unmanned Aerial Systems, what most folks call drones, close to their targets. The drones could then go about their business -- bombing, missile strikes, reconnaissance, etc. -- then fly back to the mother ship and head for home.

This plan could add to the range of the drones and open up new missions they cannot now undertake because of their limited range, DARPA says.

As you consider your ideas, DARPA says you have to keep the cost low and they'd like something they could demonstrate within four years. And don't get long-winded. Your proposal should fit on eight, standard 8.5- x 11-inch pages in 11-point type.

And if you're worried your big plans will fall into the hands of your competitors, don't. DARPA promises all ideas will stay inside the Pentagon.

The deadline is November 26. Now get to work.

 

quick, still got 10 days to submit your proposal.

here is the prototype. I think its possible.

How much are they paying?

 

Please make cheque to Jamesc.

 

Here's the finished article.

 

If they want a submarine version,

 

I have that too.

Wouldn't an airborne aircraft carrier too easy target to shoot down??!

[Watwheels]

Why not a space carrier? Like that it won't violate other countries' air space. SAMs won't be able to reach it. It doesn't require an enormous power plant to keep it floating in the air. There's no gravity in space.

 

What they need is a force shield generator lah. LoL...

Haha....make sure they hab new gen aircraft dat wun burn up on re-entry enroute to IS targets hor

You are absolutely right.

 

That's why I have a design for a submarine version.

 

As soon as the Pentagon sends me the cheque for the flying one

 

I will send them the under water one.

But China ever shoot down their own satellite using their own missile leh. so possible to get shoot down even in space.

You can't shoot what you can't see.....

 

I will be the sub-con to supply the invisibility system. When handing over project, Pentagon will see this:

 

 

Of course Pentagon won't see the carrier cos it is invisible. 100% proof it works!

Normal AC needs other combat vessels to protect else it's just a sitting duck waiting for attacks by enmemy bombers or long range missles etc.

 

If the AC is airbourned, how is it going to be protected, a fleet of flying combat vessels?
