And the Lines Between UAVs and Munitions Blurs
I think that this is one of the points missed in this coverage of the first flight by a "loitering munition" by MBDA.(Paid Subscription Required)
The line between a UAV, either controlled or autonomous, which carries a munition, and a munition which loiters over the area looking for target, appears to be the ability to recover.
The technology is likely already there to cross that line.
