The world's first supersonic unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UAV) has gone on sale for $16m (£11.5m).
Singapore-based Kelley Aerospace, the company behind the UAV, claims it can travel faster than the speed of sound, reaching up to Mach 2.1, and can be launch autonomously or by remote control.
“UAVs are known for their persistence…loitering, [but] are never known for their speed" said Kelley Aerospace chief executive Ian Lim at a December launch event. "So with the Arrow supersonic UAV, you will overcome the issues of speed and reach."
