Do you know what a drone with comparable capabilites would cost to purchase, much less operate? Large military drones aren't cheap. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'm thinking a drone would be cheaper Do you know what a drone with comparable capabilites would cost to purchase, much less operate? Large military drones aren't cheap. Multi-role UAV are also hamstrung by steerable sensors with a narrow field-of-view. Pilots and operators are limited to what information is obtained by the sensors. Drones don't multitask very well. Two dudes in a cockpit? One flies, the other can either drop, fire, gather, or steer a sensor. Sometimes while performing associated tasks, or even completely different tasks. Decision-to-Act is also a lot faster with a manned cockpit. |

The price is where they fail the hardest.
You could buy a Pilatus PC12 and put sensors and hardpoints on it, for maybe 6 mil. |

What's the projected CPFH?
What percentage of LRU's are COTS? That's what the little guys should worry about. |

I imagine the unit price would drop a bit if bought in quantity. This would be a very smart aircraft for small countries.

It would make a good feral hog hunting platform.
