Reaper Replacement

So, PM has stated that the RAF Reaper fleet is to be replaced by 20 more advanced models with increased range and payload.

What are looking at here? Predator C?

(I am disregarding the name "Protector", the only type I can find with that name is an Israeli unmanned boat (USV). I assume a slip of the tongue - but just as the USAF changed fron RS-71 to SR-71 after a ,presidential gaffe, I presume whatever we get will be renamed appropriately.)
