UK UAS Policy SDSR 2010• ‘by the 2020’s….. The fast jet fleet will be
complemented by a growing fleet of Unmanned Air Vehicles in both combat and reconnaissance roles.
• ‘we will invest in programmes that will provide flexibility and advanced capabilities, and reduce legacy capabilities which we are less likely to need in a world of precision weaponry, and where the battlespace increasingly involves unmanned and cyber operations’.
