First Protector RG Mk1 drone aircraft accepted off-contract. The first world-class Protector aircraft has been accepted off-contract by the UK MOD from General Atomics-Aeronautical Systems-Inc (GA-ASI). The handover last month followed the successful conclusion of the Acceptance Test Procedure performed jointly by UK MOD and GA-ASI. Ownership of the aircraft has now transferred to UK MOD and the aircraft will now fly with a UK Military tail number, PR005, under a UK Military Permit to fly. Royal Air Force handout.
