Hey guys,
I read somewhere the other day about soldiers in IRAQ using homemade UAS's in the field made from off the shelf stuff... the article talked about them using Emaxx's to ram potential IED's on the road side.. it also made mention to them using modified hobby shop aircraft with cameras attached..
I already know about the "support the troops" thread and we at RCAPA and RP flight systems are working on a completely outfitted flying wing for them to use....
The reason I am asking the question is that the military already has a term/acronym for these improvised rc models that are used in military service.
