EU to Operate Israeli Drones to Search for Migrants Crossing the Mediterranean
(Guardian-UK) Jasper Jolly - Airbus, the European aerospace and defense conglomerate, will work with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) to operate its Heron medium-altitude long-endurance, remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) to spot migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. The EU has awarded Israel's Elbit Systems a separate contract for identical services using its Hermes drones. The drones will be based in Greece, Italy or Malta.
