The R.P.V. (Remote Piloted Vehicle) which is one of the latest spy planes from the United States. Developed by Lockheed, it is able to penetrate undetected into hostile territory because of its small size. After each photographic mission the plane is directed back to its base and is recovered by being caught in a large net. In addition to military uses, the plane could be employed in oil exploration, traffic control, and forest fire spotting.
