The DELAER RX-3 (from English: delivery and aerial) is a tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) currently under development by a consortium consisting of greek private companies and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. It is capable of performing border surveillance missions and aerial delivery of lifesaving supplies to islands and mainland territories via its internal cargo bay.[2] A possible future use for military operations is being considered.
