Don't fall for the media clowns that seem to think that unmanned systems are just glorified model aircraft - because they ain't!

I get that's it's technically more accurate to refer to 'Unmanned Aerial Vehicles' or 'Remotely Piloted Aircraft', or whatever the politically neutral name of choice is this week, but the term 'drone' to refer to unmanned aircraft of any and all descriptions is one that is in the popular vernacular and one that is here to stay - like it or not I'm afraid. To rage against it is to p1ss into the wind...
