New British Army NUAS drone program

[Grey Havoc]

I came across this on a old article discussion thread (further delays to Watchkeeper) over at The Register. It's a link to a tender for submissions in regards to the supply of NUAS (Nano Unmanned Air Systems) to fill an Urgent Operational Requirement for at least a hundred such systems, primarily for use in Afghanistan. Have a look and tell me what you think.

That a post about a tender issued in Feb 2011 should go in the Bar/Military thread not in this place.

But it is in relation to a new, and unbuilt, (British) Army project.

But the purpose of the forum is quite specific. Unbuilt projects refers to those HISTORICAL projects that were never built. New potential projects can be covered in the bar.

Just for the record, I do not believe that this topic, which deals with an as yet unbuilt project, should have been moved from Army projects to here.
