BAE Systems has confirmed the successful completion of a new series of trials for its fully-autonomous XPA-1B Herti unmanned air vehicle (UAV) system.

In November and December last year the BAE Systems Herti flight test team completed fully-autonomous flight trials at the Woomera test range in South Australia (pictured below). This was followed by a period of data analysis in early January, now completed.
