Canada’s Air Force is crafting a multimillion-dollar plan to purchase medium- or high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to be fielded by the end of the decade.
Work is under way on the Joint Unmanned Surveillance Target Acquisition System (JUSTAS), which calls for the acquisition of the UAVs by 2010. Funding for that project will be about 500 million Canadian dollars ($420 million), said Canadian Air Force Lt. Col. Gord Smith, the military’s section head for UAV requirements.
