A Royal Air Force Reaper RPAS (Remotely Piloted Air System) at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan.
904 Expeditionary Air Wing (904 EAW) is responsible for the support and operation of RAF assets at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. As well as delivering hundreds of RAF air mobility movements every year with Hercules C-130J and BAE 146 aircraft, the EAW mounts attack and intelligence missions through its detachments of RAF Tornado GR4 fast jets. The EAW also provides support for a detachment providing launch and recovery of RAF and Reaper remotely piloted air systems.
The Reaper Detachment operates the RAF’s highly capable remotely piloted air systems to supplement other air intelligence platforms with detailed imagery of ground conditions. Reaper’s primary role is to provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and this forms the vast majority of its missions.
However, when necessary the aircraft can also deploy precision-guided weapons to support Afghan-led ground forces in contact with the enemy. All Reaper missions are controlled by experienced RAF pilots, whose immediate face-to-face support from intelligence personnel and other operational specialists makes them among the most situationally aware pilots in the world.
The Detachment is also supported by aerospace battle managers and other operational specialists based with 83 Expeditionary Air Group.

A RAF Reaper UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is pictured taxiing at Kandahar Airfiled, prior to a mission in the skies over Afghanistan.
It is armed with a full complement of two GBU-12 226kg (500lb) laser-guided bombs and four Lockheed Martin AGM-114P Hellfire air-to-surface missiles.
The MQ-9 Reaper is a medium-to-high altitude, long endurance remotely piloted aircraft system. The MQ-9's primary mission is to act as an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) asset, employing sensors to provide real-time data to commanders and intelligence specialists at all levels.

Soldiers from the Royal Artillery assemble and fly the Desert Hawk 3 UAS (Unmanned Air System) over Salisbury Plain during a training exercise.
Desert Hawk is an extremely versatile and small Unmanned Aerial System designed for discrete operations. It is operated normally at the company level but is equally well employed above and below this. It has an extremely good record proven over the last year and is currently supporting 16 Air Assault Brigade in Afghanistan. It provides an excellent 'over the hill' view for commanders on the ground.

The UNITED STATES ARMY: LEAD from the FRONT & ABOVE - HOOAH.
Quadcopters + Armored Air Insertion - BEFORE quadcopters were cool! Or the delivery of tanks by them for that matter! ;-)
I say again: HOOAH.
Expedient? Probably not at this scale.
Costly? Must be.
Risk Level? HIGH (critical/catastrophic loss of mission essential equipment).
Cool Nonetheless? Damn Skippy.
The type of tank depicted probably provides a clue as to the time period of this photo, but I don't know my tanks, so I'm guessing some time during the 1960's. With Fort Eustis being the originator of the photo, its transportation history, and serving as home to the U.S. Army Transportation Museum, I wouldn't be surprised if this photograph is in some display or another there.

The test flight of a new UAV is an exciting time. Trying to make sure that you are operating correctly, making sure that everything works properly, it is good fun. This image was captured during my test flight of a DJI Inspire 1. The aircraft is just off the beach near the Sandridge Life Saving Club in Port Melbourne and is looking north east towards Melbourne CBD.

When in a new town, after the initial shock of trying to find my way around has passed, I like to keep an eye out for interesting sights or sites. I passed this industrial area after getting slightly lost and immediately put it on my list of places to come back and check out.
I think it is an old Amcor Limited premises and I would like to be able to explore inside. I flew my little DJI quad over from the park across the river and got a couple of shots during the 20 minutes the battery gave me.

The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper has a maximum altitude of 50,000 feet and cruises at 194 mph while carrying four laser-guided, air-to-ground 114 Hellfire missiles, a payload of up to 800 pounds. It has streaming full-motion video and a range of sensors to keep track of ground targets. This more than doubles the capability over the previous generation unmanned aerial vehicle, the MQ-1 Predator.

Artistic view of AVIATR Titan airplane mission concept over bright terrain mountains with alluviated margins.
The AVIATR mission concept is an unmanned aerial vehicle that would fly over Titan’s surface. It’s nominal one year mission would enable detailed high-resolution images of Titan’s diverse landscapes for better comparison to Earth’s geological processes. Selected regions could be imaged at resolutions near 30 cm/pixel, equivalent to current HiRise imaging of Mars. In addition, atmospheric sampling would allow a profile of Titan’s thick lower atmosphere and how it relates to Earth’s atmospheric processes and weather systems.
Further details of the AVIATR mission concept were presented at the Lunar and Planetary Sciences Conference 2010 and at Titan Through Time 2010.
See: Barnes et al. LPSC 41 (2010) Abstract 2551. “AVIATR: Aerial Vehicle for In-situ and Airborne Titan Reconnaissance.”
