Hundreds of small low-cost UAV helicopters are located at dozens of =
secure
sites, within an area of conflict. When required, a remote pilot, who=
=
may
be located thousands of miles away, will cause a number of these =
helicopters
to takeoff and fly to separate GPS coordinates.
The remote pilot may then selectively use these UAV's for surveillance=
, =
or
land them to await further instructions.
An attack will consist of flying the UAV into the target, since the co=
st
will be less than that of separating the delivery vehicle and the weap=
on.
The pilot will be referred to as a VKP ~ for Virtual Kamikaze Pilot :=

Eventually, surplus components will appear on the market. At which ti=

homebuilt affectionados will start using these parts to produce homebu=

helicopters, possibly for the European JAR-VLR and the US Sport =
Plane/Pilot
categories.
A dream, a reality, or a nightmare ????
So so, Will be developed an VERY small ucav to be used on helos and grou=
nd =
troops, launched on a rocket. Will fly to the reconnaissance area and th=
en =
will start an prop to flyover and mark hard targets. then missiles like =
the hellfire will eliminate all objectives.
No special chopper will be developed, thats also apply to the X-50 UCAV.=
