The new system, called Strix, aims to be affordable and easy to deploy, while still offering substantial range and firepower. A video animation played by BAE at the Avalon Airshow in Australia, where it announced the new aircraft and displayed a model, showed Strix taking off from the back of boats. Another video showed the drone, with wings folded, being stored in a shipping container and then driven away on a truck.
