Carter's lost so much cred with his precious Strike ending up in the garbage bin, I'm not surprised folks don't listen too hard to his latest musings.Jensy wrote:Ok, somehow three different defence journalists (two on previous page) attended the same virtual conference and came away with three different ratios of aircraft..SW1 wrote:

The Ghost Drone is manufactered by Anduril Industries, which was founded by Palmer Luckey, who also invented the Oculus Rift VR headset.Gunners from 15 Squadron of the RAF Regiment have been experimenting with a new type of drone.
The Ghost Drone, so called because of its ability to remain undetected, uses artificial intelligence to work out how noisy it sounds and what it looks like – from the target's point of view.
Flight Sergeant David Shaw showed Forces News how the drone works and explained what makes it different from other remotely piloted aircraft systems.

Contracts Finder Details
Short description of requirement:
The UK Army is exploring potential opportunities within the Armed UAS capability. This will look to encompass:
1) A system that has a modular payload interface that allows the user to switch out payloads
expediently as the tactical situation evolves
2) A system that is expendable or re-usable depending on the tactical situation and payload
3) An Armed UAS that has a maximum take-off weight (including payload) of 350g
4) A system capable of multiple launching options to suit the tactical situation
5) A system that has a minimum flight time of 20 minutes regardless of payload
To allow:
1) The Authority to understand the marketplace in regard to Armed UAS
2) Industry to introduce possible solutions to the Authority
3) The Authority to understand potential development opportunities
Time-limit:
