Operating crewed and un-crewed air assets in the shape of @thef35 and the Banshee from @QinetiQ is another big step forward on our journey to joint carrier strike capability.

They also look pretty cool!

New Toy Day for #PWLSAtSea! We’re testing “Banshee” by @QinetiQ as a training, testing and evaluation method for simulating airborne targets at sea.

Capable of up to 200meters per second, it’s twin gas turbines mean it’s pretty quick!

What a milestone! Sky Sabre training has started. A huge effort by the whole force to get to this significant point. A great start for the first Battery, the Regiment and 7 AD Group to modernisation
