It is unexpected and especially interesting to see Otto named here in the context of MMA.
By engaging hostile unmanned aircraft at speeds of up to 350 km/h (217 mph), Neptor is intended to reduce reliance on expensive surface-to-air missiles for targets that can often cost only a fraction of the interceptor used against them.
This is the strange story of an interceptor that pioneered the technologies that would define future American air defence, yet spent much of its short career battling enemies, and sometimes its own systems, that its designers had never anticipated.
