Et tu, Raytheon?
The defense contractor intentionally misspelled a would-be namesake to make the acronym work for a new pod (pictured above) for unmanned aircraft systems.
So Caesar, the Roman emperor/murder victim, became CEASAR, short for communications electronic attack with surveillance and reconnaissance.
The pod, unveiled yesterday at the Association of Old Crows convention, re-packages the EA-18G communications jammer for the MQ-1C Sky Warrior. The US Army is apparently interested in buying a few.
But watch out, CEASAR. Brutus is dead, but keep your eyes out for knife-wielding assassins wearing USAF-blue togas!
