In the hostile environments in which UK troops are currently operating, accurate and reliable tactical information is absolutely critical. Airborne platforms such as UAV's (Unmanned Airborne Vehicles), fitted with advanced electro-optic sensors, provide a flexible, reliable method of capturing real-time images of the battlescene. The British Army is now acquiring such a capability from Thales with its Watchkeeper UAV programme. Fiited with a variety of electro-optic and communications sensors, Watchkeeper provides ground-based troops with up-to-date tactical imagery, enabling them to take effective action.
