SR-91: A Mach 6 Bomber Coming Soon to the Air Force?

If the mysterious and ever-elusive SR-91 Spy Plane actually exists as speculated by many, the hypersonic, potentially-stealthy Mach 6 reconnaissance plane would certainly introduce new tactics and concepts of operation.

Hypersonic
Hypersonic speeds have already been accomplished with significant reliability when it comes to weapons and projectiles, but what about a networked reconnaissance drone with an advanced payload able to transmit critical video and data in real-time across a joint force?
 
Some might even wonder if such an aircraft might also operate as an unmanned stealth bomber platform, should that be required by Pentagon weapons developers.

 
This would not only make sense as it would enable new dimensions to high-speed, high-altitude surprise stealth attacks, but it would also arguably provide tactical advances as enemy air defenses are much less likely to see or intercept a hypersonic projectile.

PeteS in CA:
Will it be called the NCC-1701ZZ? Revell was selling model kits of its guess of the SR-71 replacement Aurora. The kits may be classics, but the Aurora remains toymaker vaporware.
