RAF trials lightweight multi-role missile system fired from Jackal drone - YouTube

The Royal Air Force has completed a ground-breaking trial firing exercise where a lightweight multi-role missile (LMM) was launched from a drone. It is the first time that a Jackal drone, created by the Yorkshire-based company Flyby Technology, has been used to fire an LMM, also known as the Martlet by the British military, from a hover in flight. The Martlet was initially designed by defence firm Thales to help the Royal Navy combat swarms of small, unmanned attack boats, but recent trials have shown how they can be combined with drone warfare.
