美軍最新無人偵察機外形酷似男性精子
It's called Argus One; the Pentagon's newest unmanned spy plane. But cheeky observers are already calling it the "Flying Sperm".
美國國防部最新研製無人偵察機“百眼巨人1號”，但一些“無禮的”觀察人士已經給它起了個外號，名爲“飛行的精子”。
It has the capacity to carry 30 pounds of high tech sensors and cameras and the ability to hover over remote locations between 10,000 and 20,000 feet, even in rough weather.
這種偵察機能攜帶30磅重的高性能傳感器和照相設備，而且就算天氣情況惡劣，也能在偏遠地區1萬到2萬英尺高的空中進行偵查工作。
The suspect design has been attributed to improved "flight stability and aerodynamic control" as well as giving the aircraft a longer flight time.
引發爭議的設計被認爲是出於改進“飛行穩定性和空氣動力操縱”，並延長偵察機的飛行時間。
The Argus One, named after the Greek god Argus who was the all seeing god with one hundred eyes, is designed to be an "eye in the sky" even in very remote areas.
它的名字取自希臘神話中無所不見的“百眼巨人”阿格斯，而這架無人偵查機在偏遠地區也會如同一隻“天空之眼”。
The aircraft was created by the World Surveillance Group Inc (WSGI) for the Pentagon and is now being tested at an undisclosed location.
該款無人機由全球監控集團爲美國國防部研製，目前正在一個祕密地區接受測試。
"The Argus One has a low radar footprint making it virtual stealth since the payload bay located on the forward module of the airship is the only radar reflecting material on the airship." a statement from WSGI said.
全球監控集團在聲明中說：“這款偵察機執行任務時幾乎是隱形的，很難被雷達探測到，僅有機身前端模塊的有效載荷區會產生雷達波反射。”
The aircraft's "flexible, non-rigid" body also makes for easy storage and transportation.
偵察機“靈活、非剛性”的機身也便於存儲和運輸。
Argus One can be assembled and launched in hours from virtually anywhere, including remote, mountainous territory.
無論在任何地區，“百眼巨人1號”都可以在數小時內組裝完成並進行發射，包括偏遠的山區。
The device has been especially designed to meet the requirements of US military and other governmental agencies.
這款偵察機是根據美國軍方和其他國家機構的要求特別設計的。
It can also wirelessly transmit critical live video and other information directly to a ground control station or system.
它可以借用無線實時傳輸重要視頻和信息，由地面控制站或控制系統直接接收。
The ground control system also allows the operator to control Argus One either manually or remotely by programming it for GPS–based autonomous navigation.
地面控制系統還允許操作員通過GPS自動導航系統對偵查機進行人工或遠程操縱。
