The Fire Shadow Loiters For Hours Before Attacking Its Target -- Gizmodo
The Fire Shadow is an unmanned flying machine that can loiter unnoticed, hovering over an area for six hours, waiting to receive a kill order on any designated moving or static target — and then fall on it like a suicidal bird of prey to destroy it.
This video shows exactly that, hitting a car full of imagined terrorist in real life footage.
According to missile systems manufacturer MBDA, this bird of death is a high precision, low cost flying missile that can be launched by a soldier from the ground, just like any other small unmanned air vehicle. After the launch, the Fire Shadow can hover over a large area for up to six hours or 100km. Once the operator points out a target, the Fire Shadow will fall on it destroying it on contact.
