The US has unveiled a new $20 million supercomputer designed to tackle some of the military's most computationally demanding challenges, from hypersonic weapons research to Artificial Intelligence development and next-generation aircraft design.

Known as Flyer, the machine was recently commissioned at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. According to US Army sources, the system can solve in a single day problems that would take an average laptop roughly 500 years to complete.
