BAE Rolls Out Taranis UAV Demonstrator

July 13, 2010

From Gizmag:

A prototype of England’s Taranis Unmanned Combat Aircraft System (UCAS) that we first covered back in 2006 has been unveiled for the first time by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD). Three and a half years in the making and the product of more than a million man-hours the concept demonstrator is designed to test the possibility of developing the first ever autonomous stealthy UCAV that would ultimately be capable of precisely striking targets at long range, even on another continent.

This isn’t something that happens all that often but when it comes to Taranis, it is actually possible to point to a UK MoD project and think it isn’t woefully behind the technological curve.
