The 1.1 kg UA was launched from a ship in the English Channel to search for a small craft. The wind at takeoff was 14 kt from 090°. While the UA was airborne the ship had to manoeuvre for traffic and headed eastwards at 10 kt, overtaking the UA. The pilot tried to fly it back but when it reached 500 m from its takeoff point it stopped. The pilot had to repeatedly update the takeoff point to his current position to keep it moving towards the ship. After 28 minutes of flight the battery was low and the UA initiated an auto-land into the sea.
