RAF considering using unmanned aircraft to complement P-8 Poseidon
It has emerged that the Royal Air Force is considering using unmanned aircraft in a maritime patrol role to complement the P-8 Poseidon.
Air Cdre Ian Gale said at the Royal Aeronautical Society’s UAV conference:
“Today we see value in its radar doing maritime patrol alongside the P-8.”
The United Kingdom had earlier announced that it intends to place an order for the Certifiable Predator B as part of its Protector MALE UAV programme.

There is an existing P-8 thread.

Considering we are buying the P-8 as an off the shelf system to take advantage of USN R&D, buying Triton seems logical and inevitable.
