Not something from space, but rather the Neptune air vehicle. Designed to solve UAV recovery problems, the Neptune is six feet long and with a 7ft wing span. It can be launched from a warship.

Neptune will carry sensors in a retractable pod, while a UHF digital link is designed for secure operation in open waters.

The Neptune is being trialled by DRS technologies in the UK.
