The BAE Mantis isn’t the only unmanned aircraft that can operate independently.5
The thought came to me on seeing the BAe Mantis mock up at Farnborough, loaded up with Hellfire's and bombs, one of which could be going to Afghanistan next year.6
to use the BAE Mantis platform, but outfit it with some of their own systems. Nothing to do with Neuron or Taranis.7
The BAE Mantis is another UCAV under development, with an autonomous capability, allowing it to fly itself through an entire mission.8
