Aerospace/ Drones
Britain’s Taranis unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) was dubbed the most advanced, albeit the most top secret
platform in the whole world.
The Taranis unmanned aerial
system (UAS) was described as “already operational” in a recent report by Popular
Science. This is the world’s most cutting edge and at the same time
’hush-hush’ drone. The system is designed for asymmetrical warfare and
constitute a combat stealth UAV capable of dropping bombs and launching
missiles.
The announcement by Popular
Science, namely that “Taranis is already operational”, may have been premature. Nevertheless, the term ’operational’
might be subject to various interpretations. It is know that so far, Taranis
completed one successful test flight, which was recorded and publicized. This
followed various tests. On the other hand, this amazing system is yet to be
deployed in the British armed forces, nor any other army for that matter.
