The British army will invest £31 million ($43.5 million) in a fleet of tiny drones in an effort to “outmanoeuvre enemies on the battlefield.”
Funding for the mini-drones will come from a £160 million “Transformation Fund,” U.K. Defence Minister Gavin Williamson announced on Wednesday, adding that the fund would inject £66 million into army robotics.
The new technology will provide soldiers with an “eye-in-the-sky,” the Ministry of Defence said in a press release Tuesday.
Remote Monitored Systems PLC (LON:RMS) is focused on the continued development of the Company’s ‘Survey & Inspection’ business.
