UAS. Piloted or autonomous - world of difference. Current examples all have their limitations.
But it's what is currently under a black project that counts. If the MH 60 that crashed in Pakistan or the Sentinel gifted to the Iranians are any pointer to the state of art in UAS then craft we find out about in the future should be quite impressive.
