"Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle" or LEMV for short. Meet the Army's new souped-up 21st Century blimp, able to fly continuously for three weeks and provide all the surveillance you need. LEMV tested Tuesday from a base in Lakehurst, New Jersey, eerily, the site of the Hindenburg disaster. Built by Northrop Grumman, LEMV uses helium and its airfoil shape to stay afloat. The test flight employed 2 pilots though LEMV may be unmanned in the future.
