  I find the Mastiff, and other RPV's interesting, as i'm sure many people do, an I thought some of you might want to read up on this.  The Febuary 1987 copy of Discover has a nice article about it, about 10 pages, with diagrams, and pictures, and is 
  very informative.  It also talks of other RPV's, mainly the Navy's Pioneer. 

  Here is a little about the Pioneer:

  Wing Span            16.9 ft.
  Length               14 ft.
  Gross Weight         400 lbs.
  Cruising speed       100 MPH
  Range                900 miles

  It is radio controlled by a pilot from the back of a truck, and the radio signals are encrypted.  They use gyro-stabalized mini-cameras, and be equiped with radar jamming equipment, and very effective in aiming the 16-inch guns of the battleship 
  New Jersey, and have proven their worth in the Bekaa Valley, in Lebanon.

  Once again, that's the Febuary, 1987 issue of Discover, page 78.
