I think it's important that our UAV can fly above the reach of shoulder launched AD systems, and other SRAD. Otherwise we'll be losing lots of UAV just for kicks.
I get the feeling that we're stuck here and been for a while. And I get the feeling that some companies are getting sucked into unnecessary production tussle of sorts, I mean Baykar had to breakthrough a lot of resistance while they were just new, and untested and unproven.
But now, they're getting sucked into too much political stuff imo.
Where is the next UAV that pushes the boundry of 60k-72k ft ?
I think it's good that we've changed doctrins and such, but it won't help us if we still get left behind because we're not good enough. It's like inventing the wheel, but others take it to the next level and we're pulling a horsecart around.
But would it be possible to have 2 UAV workingin tandem. One spotting in enemy territory and another launching these munition from within our own borders to hit the target ? (even if they fly at different heights ?).
