UAVs to patrol English Channel?

Represented by Farnborough Aerospace in Hall 4 Stand E13, the Warrior (Aero-Marine) Gull 36 UAV has commenced operating both in and over the English Channel under contract from Flight Refuelling of the Cobham Group. The four meter-span UAV is reported to have exhibited excellent water handing and flying qualities, confirming the accuracy of theoretical models compared to data extracted from the Gull’s data loggers.
This is the first formal work achieved by the new generation of stepless seaplane hulls developed by Warrior, the patented design reflecting a revolution in slender-hulled surface craft performance in the last 20 years. The improved performance enables Warrior’s seaplanes to handle waves twice as large as equivalent seaplanes.
