As it happens I saw the beast today. A bit of rebuild work is yet to be done, but I wouldn't say it's impossible for them to fly 1Q16.
I know that we'll hear a lot about snakebags and gas-selling oilmen (I think I got that right but after so many repetitions I get confused) but an endorsement from Selex-ES, who not only make sensors but build quite complicated UAVs and integrate complete systems, is not to be sneezed at.
The really nice number, from the surveillance standpoint, is $2k/hour operating cost including amortized purchase cost. That's King Air territory.
