The Israeli aerospace industry and air force are revealing only small parts of the efforts they invest in future unmanned air systems (UAS).
It is not easy to see the effects of future deployment of new UAS in the IAF's fleet of combat aircraft. But even with that heavy curtain on the efforts, it is clear that also the most sceptical commanders of the IAF have reached the conclusion that more and more missions should and will be taken over by UAS.
Israel is a world power in developing and manufacturing UAVs in the shape familiar to many of us today. But the UAVs are moving very fast to become unmanned air systems with all the meaning embedded in that definition.
Very little can be said and very little is known outside the design centers of companies like Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) , Elbit systems and Aeronautics , but these centres work almost around the clock to be ready for the new willingness of the IAF to transfer more missions to these flying, very advanced robots.
