Royal Navy ready to launch ScanEagle operations

The UK Royal Navy is poised to conduct its first operational flights with the ScanEagle unmanned air system, as the service continues to evaluate its long-term requirements for such equipment.
The activity will involve the service’s Type 23 frigate HMS Somerset and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary landing ship Cardigan Bay, with the first embarked training flights having been conducted recently from the latter.
