Why Civil/Military Need to WorkTogether for a Common Future“Major world powers are expected to have muchlarger drone fleets by 2022, and unmannedsystems could make up 50 percent of the aircraftof some militaries by 2030”“Projections that research and developmentspending on UAS — a key indicator of acquisitiontrends — will reach about 5.2 billion by 2022for Western European countries, includingFrance, Italy and Britain. But it notes that fiscalconsiderations could limit those nations.”Source: Forecast International

RPAGround NATO is acquiring an Alliance GroundSurveillance (AGS) system that will givecommanders a comprehensive picture ofthe situation on the ground;As part of the AGS system, NATO willacquire five remotely piloted aircraft –Global Hawks and associated commandand control stations;In addition, UK and FR are providing“Contributions in Kind;”Enables Alliance to perform persistentsurveillance over wide areas from highaltitude, long-endurance, unmanned aerialplatforms operating at considerable standoff distances and in any weather or lightcondition;Main operating base will be located atSigonella Air Base in Italy, which will servea dual purpose as a NATO JointIntelligence,Surveillance&Reconnaissance (JISR) deployment baseand data exploitation and training centre.Support AirNATO Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS)Command & ControlMaritimeMobile Transportable pares
