QB-19 RCAT Drone Was Not "Top Secret"
Recent news articles and websites are promoting a myth that the RCAT QB-19 drone and its derivatives, produced by Radioplane and used by the Army as a target drone, was "top secret".
In fact, I have yet to find any reference that the common drone, or its radar guidance and tracking system, was even classified.
The RCAT was
produced under various designations from 1946 to the mid '80's, and saw service worldwide.
