Pilotless fighter plan gets £200m
« on: November 25, 2006, 07:42:57 PM »
Within the next two weeks the Ministry of Defence will award BAE Systems a £200 million contract to create the UK’s first unmanned fighter jet, The Times has learnt.



The project will contract BAE to develop a “technical demonstrator” version of the aircraft. This will be a full working model with weapons and targeting systems, which will then form the base design for a future generation of fighters.
