Pentagon blimp is 25 times size of Goodyear's

Pentagon blimp is 25 times size of Goodyear's Associated Press Sept. 30, 2003 07:29 AM AKRON, Ohio - It's back to the future for the Pentagon. The latest high-tech weapon might look awfully familiar to a World War I Zeppelin pilot. Lockheed Martin has a contract worth at least $40 million to develop a high-altitude airship for use in homeland defense. The solar-powered and helium-filled airship would patrol at 65,000 feet and be 25 times larger than the Goodyear blimp. Lockheed Martin officials say the airship is a great marriage of old and new technologies. While the view might be great from way up there, no one will get to see it. The high-tech airship will be unmanned and operated from the ground via computer controls
