10 августа 2017г. американская компания Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc заявила о завершении серии летных испытаний беспилотной авиационной системы UTAP-22 Mako. Длина беспилотника составляет 6,13 м, размах крыла - 3,2 м. Он способен разгоняться до скорости 1120 км/ч, подниматься на высоту 15200 м, а его дальность полета составляет 2600 км. Аппарат предназначен для выполнения специальных тактических миссий и ориентирован на живучесть во враждебных условиях. Испытания подтвердили правильность концепции и техническую готовность изделия. В будущем такие БПЛА будут действовать как автономно, так и во взаимодействии с пилотируемыми самолетами. Стоимость одного аппарата - порядка 3-х млн. USD.
The UTAP-22 Mako is a 20.1ft target drone with a wingspan of 10.5ft developed by Kratos based on the company’s BQM-167A aerial drone. It was envisioned as a swarm UAS, but has been used as a substitute platform for testing the Skyborg ACS for the XQ-58A Valkyrie
