While tracking some subs patrolling off the coast of Diego Garcia, I started measuring the average increase in the depth/temperature of waters around the atolls in the region.
Made me wonder if private UAV squadrons could recruit private antisubmarine designers to create devices that patrol the Gulf Coast. Together, they make money as privateers destroying drug routes in the role of covert subcontractors for the U.S. government.
Of course, the bounty and the booty would be theirs.
