UK - Farnborough - Thales Watchmaker UAV expo stand

Company employees at defence, security and aerospace company Thales' exhibition stand at the Farnborough Air Show. The MoD's newest and most sophisticated surveillance and targeting drone, the Watchkeeper, is undergoing trials at Aberporth in west Wales. While the arguments over America's policy of "assassination by drone" rage across Pakistan and Afghanistan, fuelling public concern over the cold-eyed automation of warfare, the future of UAVs is quietly taking shape here on the Welsh coast, where there is daily proof that UAVs and manned aircraft can co-exist in British airspace.
