With all the talk about UAVs lately, I just stumbled across this gallery of images of many of one in service or development right now.

Nice site Charlie, thanks. With that micro UAV, I wonder if paper airplane throwing skills are a prerequisite?

The scary thing is the MQ-9 Reaper, which is supposedly going to be deployed soon to Iraq. The souped up Predator can carry the same payload as an F-16!

Yep, I sent Jay some stuff on the X-45 UCAV the Navy is still developing (Air Force dropped out). The drones are going to be replacing combat aircraft more and more every year.
