According to an article in Jane's, one of the armed UAVs that we reported on in the past (May 5 and June 24) is nearing an important test. The Air Force has fitted a Hellfire air-to-surface missle on their General Atomics RQ-1 Predator UAV. Previous tests have already been made in which AGM-114C rounds were fired at ground targets from the UAV.
