I-VIEW
Initial Operational Capability (IOC) : 2004
Total Production : ?
The I-VIEW is a close-range tactical UAV system suitable for surveillance, target acquisition and artillery adjustment missions. It uses automatic catapult assisted launch and automatic precision parachute recovery. Therefore, the I-VIEW doesn't require runaways being extremely suitable for front-line battlefield operations. However, takeoff and landing operations can be performed on runways. The I-VIEW UAV family was developed by IAI's Malat Division.

The I-VIEW 250 provides airborne surveillance, reconnaissance and target acquisition capabilities in support of land operations. It can be fitted with multiple EO/IR payload options with the option to a SAR. TCDL and EPLRS communications systems ensure joint and coalition interoperability. I-VIEW 250 system also includes a highly advanced ground control station fitted to standard Army vehicles.
On December 13, 2005 an industry team comprising Boeing Australia and IAI/MALAT was selected for the Australian Defense Forces JP 129 program. JP 129 is meant to provide Australian Forces with a tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (TUAV) system providing airborne surveillance in land operations.

I-VIEW 50
Group : Tactical Unmanned Air Vehicles
Status : Active
Origin : Israel
Contractor : Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI)
Total Production : ?
The I-VIEW Mk50 is the lightest and smallest member of the I-VIEW product line developed by IAI's MALAT Division. It has been designed to provide close range intelligence at the brigade level or with special operation forces. It can be operated by a crew of two-man on a single vehicle. Equipped with a line-of-sight data-link as standard equipment, the I-VIEW 50 aerial vehicle accepts MiniPOP (TV/IR) or a customer furnished sensor suite payload. The I-VIEW aerial vehicle is powered by a nose-mounted two-blade propeller.
A single I-VIEW 50 system includes a two-man crew (operator + mission commander), two aerial vehicles, and a C130 transportable HMMWV-sized vehicle acting as the ground control station, spare parts and carrier vehicle. So far, the I-VIEW 50 system is in operation with the Israel Armed Forces and an undisclosed export customer as reported by IAI February 2007.

 Russia | Active | 8 | Unmanned aerial system purchased along with Bird Eye 400 and Searcher Mk II UAVs in April 2009 to meet the requirements for tactical reconnaissance UAVs to provide reliable battlefield intelligence. The lack of such capability was a grave deficiency experienced by the Russian Armed Forces during the South Ossetia conflict against Georgia in August 2008. |
