c’est mis 3 fois dans le texte


et le prix varie 

a a démarré à 3,2 millions pour le Predator A
puis à 4,5 pour le Reaper/B

on annonce aujourd"hui ce même Reaper à 7 millions l’unité dans le dernier budget..

bref, le PRIX est variable, j’ai pris la moyenne la plus citée..

en France on ne fait pas mieux : 13, 6 millions d’euros le Harfang et 12 600 euros l’heure de vol, pour 2 445 pour un Predator....

A : In Fiscal Year 2005 (Oct 04-Sep 05), the President’s Budget contained $2.166 billion for the U.S. military to develop, procure, and operate UASes. Over the six-year period from FY2006 to FY2011, the Pentagon plans to spend $15 billion on unmanned aircraft, an average of $2.5 billion per year.

Q : What does a UAV cost to buy ? to operate ?

A : UAVs flying today range in price from $1000 to $26 million. [For comparison, manned aircraft range in price from $20,000 to $500 million.] Examples : The latest production version of the Air Force/Teledyne Ryan RQ-4/Global Hawk costs over $26 million, not including its payload, the Air Force/General Atomics RQ-1/Predator $3.3 million with payload, and the Navy/PUI RQ-2/Pioneer just over $900,000 with payload. Tactical size UAVs are commercially available in the $250,000 range with payload, the Aerosonde Robotic Aircraft’s Atlantic-crossing Aerosonde runs $35,000, and MLB offers mini (not micro) UAVs for around $1000 per aircraft. It is a common mistake to focus on the price of the individual aircraft and confuse it for the price of the UAV system, which includes its ground control station and shelter, launching mechanism, and typically three or more additional aircraft. These can make the price of an UAV system two to ten times the price of its individual aircraft. Once bought and deployed, operating costs are reportedly (Aviation Week & Space Technology, 22 Jun 98, p.23) in the hundreds of dollars an hour for Predator and tactical size UAVs. [For comparison, commercial helicopters cost $600-800 an hour and a Boeing 747 airliner some $7400 an hour.]
