2.7 UAS WORLDWIDE GROWTH
2.7.1 Foreign UAS Development
Currently, some 32 nations are developing or manufacturing more than 250 models of UA (see Figure
2.7-1); 41 countries operate some 80 types of UA, primarily for reconnaissance. Table 2.7-1 categorizes
selected foreign UA and can be used to identify mission capabilities either complementing or not being
performed by current U.S. UA. Knowledge of such niches allows U.S. planners to rely on and better
integrate the unique capabilities of coalition UA assets in certain contingencies. The one niche common
to a number of other countries but missing in the U.S. is a survivable penetrator, for use in high threat
environments. France and Germany have employed CL-289s with success in Bosnia and Kosovo,
Russia’s VR-3 Reys may be succeeded soon by the Tu-300, and Italy’s new Mirach 150 supports its
corps-level intelligence system. All are essentially jet engines with cameras attached which fly at low
altitude at high subsonic speed to increase their survivability.
