The LMI-17 Thrush was a replacement for the LMI-4 Tern uncrewed combat aerial vehicle, which was still retained for service off of cruisers in the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy. Both UCAV were designed by Lyme and Martens Industries of the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland. It was much larger than its predecessor and with a significantly greater payload.
The LMI-17 Thrush will eventually be replaced by the LMI-30 Wyvern, although it is presumed the older UCAV will remain in service as long as the DAS-2 Spectre does.
