U.S. Accelerates Procuremant of Israeli UAVs
(Globes) - The U.S. has accelerated its procurement of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from Israel Military Industries (IMI). The UAVs are used to counter anti-aircraft defenses and are launched from aircraft to create false targets on enemy radar screens. The U.S. Navy launched 200 of IMI's UAVs against Iraqi anti-aircraft batteries during the 1991 Gulf War. IMI is currently completing the delivery of 200 more UAVs, worth $35 million.
