The Silent Specter: How RAF Ghost Drones Are Redefining Combat
The battlefield is evolving at a dizzying pace. No longer just the domain of flesh and blood, itβs increasingly populated by machines, by algorithms, by the silent, watchful eyes of drones. And in this arena, the Royal Air Forceβs Ghost Drone program is writing a new chapter β one that has significant implications for the future of warfare. The videos weβve curated here offer a unique glimpse into this emerging reality, highlighting both the technological prowess and the complex questions that accompany this leap into a new era of conflict. We see not just metal and circuits, but the potential for a transformed battlespace, where the lines between human and machine blur, and where the very nature of engagement is being redefined. This page will explore the stark realities and capabilities as well as the questions that accompany it.
Key Insights: Whispers from the Digital Frontline
The Ghost Drone, developed in collaboration with the US Army, leverages AI to minimize its detectability. The drone can assess its own acoustic and visual signature from the perspective of a target, a development signifying a move towards autonomous, self-aware weaponry.
The Jackal, a new RAF drone developed with UK-based Flyby Technology and Turkish partners, represents a significant step in drone firepower. Demonstrations show its ability to fire missiles, pointing to a future where such platforms may take on a larger role in battlefield air interdiction and close air support.
The videos shed light on the ongoing collaboration and innovation within the drone technology sector, showcasing rapid advancements and joint ventures between nations and private companies, like Flyby Technology and Thales which manufactures the LMM.
The testing of these systems within active RAF facilities, as shown in the footage from RAF Akrotiri, suggests that these technologies are not mere prototypes but are being actively integrated into operational strategies.
The Ghostβs Evolving Shadow: Speculation and Emerging Trends
The development of AI-driven stealth and enhanced offensive capabilities, as seen with the Ghost Drone and Jackal, points towards a potential future where drones play an even more dominant role. We might anticipate increased autonomy in these systems, with drones making more complex decisions with reduced human oversight. This trajectory raises ethical and strategic questions: How will the rules of engagement adapt? What are the implications of increasingly autonomous weapons systems? The collaboration highlighted in these videos suggests a trend of international partnerships and rapid development cycles. This rapid pace of advancement and the joint ventures between governments and the private sector are likely to continue, blurring traditional lines of military procurement and development.
Into the Ether: Unseen Warfare
The evolution of drone technology, as showcased here, marks a paradigm shift, a blurring of lines between the physical and the digital, the human and the machine. These videos serve as a stark reminder of the rapid evolution of warfare in the 21st century. As these silent specters take to the skies, they bring with them not just advanced technology but a host of critical questions that demand our attention. Scroll down to watch the selected video highlights and delve deeper into the world of RAF Ghost Drones, where the future of warfare is being forged, silently and swiftly, before our eyes.

New RAF βJackalβ drone fires missiles in demonstrationThe Sun3,381,042 views | 16,871 | April 19 2023 13:45:00 (4,504 comments)[ Read more β¦ ]
This footage shows a demonstration where a new RAF βJackalβ drone fires missile at a target. The missile can be seen launching out the new drone as it flies above the ground.
The JACKAL drone capability has been designed and developed by experts from UK-based Flyby Technology, with Turkish partners FlyBVLOS Technology and Maxwell Innovations providing design engineering and prototyping expertise, to fill a recently discovered gap in modern combat operations.
As a Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) platform, JACKAL is designed to satisfy a number of roles, including Battlefield Air Interdiction, Close Air Support, engaging helicopters in flight and killing tanks, to denying the use of runways and roads.
The trial β sponsored by the Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO) of the Royal Air Force β involved teams from Flyby and the technology giant Thales which also manufactures the LMM.

Closer look at the new Ghost Drone being trialled by the RAF & US ArmyBFBS Forces News4,727,493 views | 22,803 | December 5 2022 19:30:03 (1,689 comments)[ Read more β¦ ]
Gunners from 15 Squadron of the RAF Regiment have been experimenting with a new type of drone.
The Ghost Drone, so called because of its ability to remain undetected, uses artificial intelligence to work out how noisy it sounds and what it looks like β from the targetβs point of view.
Flight Sergeant David Shaw showed Forces News how the drone works and explained what makes it different from other remotely piloted aircraft systems.
