STEVENAGE, England, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Britain is planning to arm its new Protector remotely piloted aircraft with MBDA's Brimstone precision strike missile.
If confirmed by the U.K.'s Ministry of Defense, the new drone will enter service with the British weapon after its development is complete. News of the consideration comes days after the ministry signed off on a $127 million contract with General Atomics to develop the new unmanned aircraft.
