The new system enables UK forces to make use of next-generation weapons systems, such as the recently introduced Reaper drones.

These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are deployed over Afghanistan but are remotely piloted by RAF personnel in the US. Their near real-time video passes through Skynet.

Skynet is the unfortunate name of the UK armed forces satellite network and I believe they are on skynet 5, but since the events of judgement day have not come to pass no point in worrying.
