EADS Cassidian displayed a model of an unnamed MALE unmanned air system at Istanbul, Turkey, during IDEF 2013 held in May 2013. The concept has been proposed for use in uncontrolled airspace, equipped with a synthetic aperture radar, forward-looking infrared and a countermeasures suite. It is one of a number of MALE UAVs offered for national procurement programmes by European companies, few of which have actually been ordered into production.
