With the evolution of warfare, unmanned aerial vehicles or drones have rapidly become key elements of a country's offense as well as defense. Drones can now carry out surveillance or reconnaissance tasks in high-risk situations and attack adversaries.
Even after their public debut, BAE Systems has refrained from giving these drones any specific brand names and continues to call them Concepts. So, here's what these Concepts have to offer.Smaller among the two designs which have been unveiled so far, Concept 1 has been dubbed as an"expendable drone" but is also designed to be recovered easily.
Also available in land and maritime formats, Concept 2 can be deployed for ISR missions. However, when required, the drone can also serve as a combat option with its capability to carry Spear Class air-to-ground munitions as well as Meteor class, air-to-air missiles. The fuselage of Concept 2 is similar to the first drone with a jet engine powering the flight, but the tail is V-shaped.
