Very true Piltdown Man, thats why the supply of technology such as the autopilot and guidance systems is controlled by the Wassenaar Agreement and is classed as Dual use technology.

It should be rememembered that costs of such technology is comparatively low with a three axis autopilot with waypoint navigation, altitude control / airspeed control with GPS intergration less than $10000 The units are also very small, in fact as little as 28gm weight.

Thank God that control on the supply and export is in place.
