Not just any drone, Flyby Technology’s Jackal drone successfully fired two Thales Lightweight Multirole Missiles (LMMs), also known as Martlets by the British military, that could be used to help the Royal Navy combat swarms of small, unmanned attack boats.
Martlets are typically fired from shoulder launchers or larger manned platforms, but these trials have demonstrated that the 1,100mph missiles can be fired from the unmanned Jackal drone as well. Flyby Technology designed Jackal for nations that cannot afford attack helicopters or access fast jets.

It is breaking the barriers in showing what is possible by employing existing technology. And to show people, to demonstrate visually, that we can use lightweight precision weapons from this latest generation of, let’s call it a tactical platform, where we can have, perhaps, two rounds and we can exploit all the benefits of LMM as precise,” said Jon Parker, Flyby Technology CEO.
