Reaper Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

The RAF's first Reaper Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Britain's most sophisticated unmanned surveillance system, has taken to the air in Afghanistan.

Some positive news about procurement and getting the right kit for the job. Hurrah! See link.

No a press release for a notable increase in capability.
