Default Micro Air Vehicles in WinMBT



Linka

Snipped for brevity and summarized to avoid copyright problems.

After over a year of testing and further development, the U.S. Marine Corps are sending the seven ounce Wasp Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) to Iraq and Afghanistan.

----------

Basically it's a small (13" Wingspan, 7" Long) Micro UAV which can stay in the air for 90~ minutes.

It's launched by a single man throwing it into the air, and
it's controlled by a single soldier using a game-boy like controller device.
It can hover like a helicopter
35-75 KPH Speed
10 km range (limited by the distance of the transmitter)
Has a Infrared camera

I'm just wondering how these will be represented in WinMBT, as more and more nations acquire these smaller UAVs which can actually be controlled by the troops themselves in the field, rather than a large UAV that's controlled from a control trailer back at base.
