Exercise Wessex Seahawk: Soldiers Fly Unmanned Aircraft In Cornwall | Forces TV

Read more on this story👉www.forces.net...
Members of the British Army have been trying out different ways of working with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on Exercise Wessex Seahawk.
32 Regiment Royal Artillery, the Wessex Gunners, usually train on Salisbury Plain but travelled to Cornwall's Predannack Airfield, a site usually used by the Royal Navy's 700X Naval Air Squadron.
The Army headed to Cornwall to test their skills in a different environment and push the remotely piloted aircraft systems to the limit.

So wish that the public could own fixed wing drones! They are soo cool.

[@gfield1607]

Always thought it was an odd capability to give the RA. I understand that they use the drones for FO’s but as they are piloting aircraft for general ISTAR I would have thought the Army Air Corps would have been more appropriate. But hey it doesn’t matter...just a thought.

[@paul1978g]

Could be useful to get a visual update on target fire success, if they need to send a few more shells or mortars over, this will get over the target quicker than calling in a satellite or recon flight, whilst costing less.

Wow amazing.

1:11 - ‘Hattie Arkwright’ even more so!

[@gregorymeyer8863]

They need to go to an RC field and learn a few things from them

[@Andyuk911]

1:16 - What’s the nose-down aircraft on the extreme right? Jaguar?

[@tomstravels520]

Well the aircraft ton the extreme RIGHT of the screen looks like a Sea King but the one on the extreme LEFT side of the screen doe look like a Jaguar

[@kimjonglongdong3158]

Predannack airfield has a bunch of abandoned RAF aircraft. few sea kings, harriers, I think a Jaguar, what I think is a Canberra too. All in a sorry state and I think used as practice for trainee fire-fighters in the Raf until recently.

I'd like to formally introduce your field based cyber assets to my friends from Moscow, the 3M54AE and the Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot

[@adam9041]

Freak

[@oscarodell914]

And I'd like to formally introduce your Su-25 to the Eurofighter Typhoon

[@adam9041]

I would also like to introduce our Sea Viper missile that will quite easily out run your 1850s aircraft

[@Coldstreamer17]

Wasn't this published like 2 years ago?

[@MS-07B]

It was 2 months ago.

[@sfoeric]

How do they pilot those little drones.

[@PB-hr3hy]
