CAF induct Q01 into service

The Q01 Kestrel UCAV-RX has entered service. This is a stealthy supersonic reconnaissance drone which has been in development for some time. The Kestrel project has been very secretive but the Clone Air Force have given some details. It can reach Mach 2 and is long-ranged, intended for strategic reconnaissance.

The Kestrel is controlled by a command K72 Mustang though ground control is also possible. The Kestrel also has a number of autonomous control features for self-defence and for mission adaptation.
