IAI Heron TP Goes Down During Test

Details are scarce on the loss of this UAV.  It would seem that the plane was doing systems testing, which means that this crash could be even more expensive than you might think, since the on board surveillance systems are often half the cost of an operational UAV (or more).  Details should begin to filter out.  Keep in mind that this is NOT a small aircraft.  Ever flown on a B-737?  The Heron has the same wingspan.
