I wasn’t sure. I appreciate the mention. I realized some of the unmanned aircraft had been weaponized, but wasn’t sure if this one had been or not.

Are you of the opinion they should be, or are you satisfied with the ones that we have that are?

You aint seen nothing yet. The GH is a good recon platform and probably be modded to carry weapons. But its expensive, flys high and slow so its probably not a good platform. Its long flight duration makes it a valuable asset for what it does best. IMHO, the next generation of UCAVs will be able to take a fight to an enemy, be cheaper to deploy and be able to overwhelm an enimies defenses. They’re almost scary.
