The new Protector drone unveiled on Thursday by the Royal Air Force (RAF) will be an “incredibly important tool” in Britain’s fight against global terrorism, UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said.
The UK has ordered 16 Protector aircraft from its U.S. manufacturer General Atomics-Aeronautical Systems Inc (GA-ASI). They will enter into service in 2024 and will be based at the RAF’s Waddington base in Lincolnshire, England.
