The U.S. military has shown off a 'game-changing' rocket - based on 1960s tech.
A test saw a ramjet missile engine weapon fired from an unmanned aircraft - a development set to allow greater range and speed.
The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) successfully air-launched the Solid Fuel Integral Rocket Ramjet (SFIRR) from an unmanned vehicle for the first time, which they say is "one step toward modernising missile technology."
A BQM-34 unmanned aerial target, which is remotely piloted during flight, released the test missile over California's Point Mugu Sea Range.
