Chile explores options for UAV procurement

José Higuera JDW Correspondent
Santiago

Chile is planning to procure unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) fitted with infrared cameras and other vision systems and sensors for battlefield monitoring, intelligence gathering and even weapons delivery, sources in Santiago have confirmed to Jane's .

The Chilean Army is already experienced with UAVs. It received some development Vulture UAVs, manufactured by South African company Advanced Technologies and Engineering (ATE), in 2000 to support testing of the later cancelled Rayo artillery rocket system co-developed by Chile's state-owned FAMAE and the then Royal Ordnance.

Current requirements call for a new UAV, designed for combat intelligence and long-range artillery target designation, to be operational between 2010 and 2012.

An obvious commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) candidate is ATE's fully developed Vulture, which is now in production in South Africa. Similar UAVs manufactured by the Malat Division of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) are also under consideration.

With regard to South American co-operation, Chile has been invited to join Argentina's Lipán M3 UAV programme. General Aldo Cardinali, chief of the Chilean Army's Technological Development Directorate, recently visited Argentina to be briefed on the Lipán M3 and the projected Lipán M4.

The Chilean Army has also had contacts with Argentine company Nostromo since 2006. Marcelo Martínez, owner and chief designer of Nostromo, recently joined Chilean investors and scientists to create Aero Robots Chile.

The new company is set to adapt the Nostromo designs to fit civil and military requirements in Chile. It is already working on preparing and equipping two of Nostromo's Yarara UAVs for application tests in geological surveys in support of mining projects. According to sources in Santiago, this programme is being closely observed by the Chilean Army.

The Chilean Air Force is also planning the acquisition of UAVs for battlefield monitoring and intelligence-gathering tasks. Other applications, including the use of UAVs in offensive missions such as defence suppression, have been studied. The aim is to deploy an operational UAV by the middle of the next decade.

Options being assessed include the Northrop Grumman/IAI Malat Division MQ-5C Extended Range E-Hunter; Chilean Air Force teams have visited Israel to see the system working.

The Boeing/Insitu Scan Eagle UAV has also been proposed as an option. Boeing is exploring options for local assembly as well as servicing and support logistics with Chilean aerospace company ENAER.

The Chilean Navy and RMS, a local company with long experience in building drones for targeting training, jointly built and tested an experimental UAV in the late 1990s. The service has been showing interest in rotary-wing UAVs for shipboard use but it is unclear whether this is purely academic or related to substantive plans.

¡¡¡ Gracias !!!

O sea que es de suponer que las próximas ventas del "Yarará" serán de la versión D o C, ya que la "E" es una versión de "ocasión" ?
 
Ya se les van a terminar las letras! Y luego se confundiran las versiones como pasa con los aviones rusos :D

Por que no "Yarara Magnetico"?

Saludos y felicitaciones.
