Cutting-edge drones, as well as other strategic defense systems, will be showcased when Israel Aerospace Industries participates in Aero India 2017, the world's second-largest air show after the Paris Air Show, which will take place in Bangalore Feb. 14 to 18. According to a statement on IAI's website, the company plans to showcase its newest systems, with an emphasis on long- and medium-range surface-to-air missile defense systems and unmanned combat aerial systems, including the Heron TP-XP drone and the Bird Eye tactical UAV, which enable a wide variety of intelligence-gathering capabilities. Other developments featured by IAI will include its strategic radar and satellite communication systems, as well as electro-optical systems using high-definition technology; modular, compact command and surveillance systems; and a variety of dynamic-platform mission aircraft for intelligence missions. IAI will also present its advanced capabilities in the cyber sphere, the company said. It said it expects to expand collaboration with local leading companies to integrate strategic state-of-the-art systems for the Indian Defense Ministry. IAI's contracts in India came to $500 million in 2016. "India is one of IAI's leading markets. This important market is characterized by long-term collaboration, joint development and production, technology transfer and technical support over many years," IAI CEO Joseph Weiss said. "We are working to continue to maintain this status in the future, despite growing competition. The excellent reputation that IAI has earned among its Indian customers is vitally important to continuing this tradition of successful cooperation."
