MQ-1N Sea Predator

[gengriz]

809 Naval UAV Sqn, FAA, HMS OCEAN, WEU Forces, Black Sea, 2009.

Not as fanciful as it may seem.

Granted, the RN does not operate Predator UAVs, nor is it likely ever to do so (although the Maritime variant of the larger Reaper UAV is not beyond the bounds of possibility). But, even if they did, the UAVs would probably be pooled with the RAF and Army (Joint Force UAV?), and certainly wouldn't be painted in the Fleet Air Arm's WW2 Temperate Sea Scheme of Sewage and Slime (Dark Slate Grey and Extra Dark Sea Grey topsides, with Sky undersides).

But the kit supplied scheme is just so....well......grey!.

.............and if the Italians can camouflage their Predators, why couldn't we?

Works for me,

Works for me too. 

[Captain Canada]

Works for me as well....but wait a minute.....who gets the paycheck ?



Looks perfect to me. Does make sense to have a few of them buzzing about your fleet 24hrs a day, doesn't it ?

Looks nice in something other than gray.  I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are UCAVs operating from Ocean within a few years.

Very nice.  Looks good in camo.
