          Hi

          I think the cost is in the on board electronics and not the basic heli although I am sure they are making sure the MOD pay to dollar for that as well.
          If the thing costs 15K and only lasts one flight before been destroyed or lost but save one of our guys getting a bullet then I would call it good value!

          Cheers
