UAV officially operated in UK civilian airspace

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-34538727 Drone tested for an hour in UK civil airspace - BBC News


A reasonably astute coverage of a drone being controlled by NATS through civilian airspace today in the UK south coast. Covers scenarios of "link lost" where the drone must autonomously locate and avoid conflicts (TCAS equipped ??).


I'm still not convinced. What about sudden PANs or missed approach scenarios?
