Source summary
Abridged source description: develop remotely piloted aircraft with encrypted control links across several altitude, endurance and size categories. The source includes launch/recovery, control, monitoring and debrief systems, indigenous sensing/intelligence payloads and weapon-carrying capability among possible development areas. Weapon integration and targeting details are omitted; this is a broad development programme rather than one narrowly specified drone.
