BAE HERTI
To achieve a UAV that can safely fly within civilian airspace, BAE Systems is developing a "sense and avoid" system for HERTI, utilising a radar and electro-optical systems.
The 'South Coast Project' makes me think, UAVs and weekend/bank holiday trips across to France don't mix.

I'm not particularly against UAVs, however my worry is that 2 aircraft with a minimum of 2 sets of eyes each, have twice the chance of seeing each other, than 2 aircraft and one set of eyes.

What's the chance of a garden search in Brum being covered from the South Coast?


p.s. Looks just like the rc plane I have, enjoy and lovingly repair
