LLAD finally makes first flight

The LLAD (Long Loiter Attack Drone) MQ-14 has finally made it's first flight at a DDS flight test centre on Solaris. LLAD is a key part of the future DDS aerial strike arm being a subsonic UCAV with a very long endurance. It is intended to patrol large areas of territory.

LLAD was originally intended to fly late last year but technical problems have delayed it until now. The DDS are still hopeful it can enter service next year though they admit it is likely to slip to 2111 now.
