UK’s Taranis stealthy UAV unveiled


2006 a prototype of England’s Taranis Unmanned Combat Aircraft System (UCAS) has been unveiled for the first time by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD).

It is name after Celtic god of thunder, Taranis will be one of the world’s largest UAVs at about the size of a BAE Systems Hawk Jet

the Taranis will have two internal weapons bays and, with the inclusion of “full autonomy,” the intention is for the craft to “think for itself” for a large part of any mission. However, BAE Systems says that should such systems enter into service, they will at all times be under the control of highly trained military crews on the ground who will also be able to remotely pilot the aircraft.
