The Canadian government announced it is buying an existing unmanned aerial surveillance system, through a government-to-government contractual arrangement.
The deal handled through the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program is valued at US $14.2 million and includes initial training.
According to the nationalpost.com, the RQ-21A Blackjack is a small UAV that will provide the Canadian Army with persistent, real-time intelligence through aerial surveillance and reconnaissance.
Canada is the first foreign military to acquire the system from the U.S. Navy, according to Canadian officials. The system includes five unmanned aircraft, two ground control stations and one launch and recovery system. Each aircraft is capable of providing surveillance coverage of over 100 km for over 12 hours.
