  • Interesting UAV

    Here's an interesting UAV, the Neptune from DRS technologies. The novel thing about this UAV is that it can land & be recovered from water. Would something like this be useful aboard NS vessels?





    Leonardo DRS is a defense contractor developing advanced technologies today, and shaping the battlefield of tomorrow. Find out more.

    Well that depends on how much it would cost to operate and cost in general!
    Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...

      I've no idea of the cost, but leaving that aside is it a practical design & would it be of use to the NS?

        Yes definetly...had this been available 10 years ago there would have been no requirement to Buy helicopters for the Eithne.Probably just as expensive but far easier to operate than a helo....I was worried about the recovery options but as the photo shows it floats....could still be an option in the fishery protection role....Why not send it to the Df suggestion box.?
