The UK Royal Navy (RN) has completed initial trials designed to explore the operation of uncrewed air systems (UASs) from its new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers.
Undertaken from HMS Prince of Wales, the demonstration saw QinetiQ Banshee Jet 80+ aerial target vehicles launched from a pneumatic launcher on the ship's flight deck and then operated to allow an evaluation of how they might be used to train personnel in defending against air threats. The Banshee Jet 80+ is a compact, twin-jet aerial target designed to provide low-cost threat representation.
The trials, which come less than a year before the retirement of the Hawk T1 aircraft currently used to emulate low-level air and missile threats, were performed on the Ministry of Defence's (MoD's) Hebrides Range facility off northwest Scotland.
