The latter required the presence of a ground operator to advise the pilot of the course to be followed and its altitude. These systems are part of our Vampire and are being tested.<br \/>\nAs two versions of the Vampire flew in Switzerland (round nose, and long nose&#8230;), these different versions will be equipped with slightly different radios.
