Pakistan UAVAs we have written earlier on the testing of Pakistan first Indigenous UAV system “Uqaab”, i came across some surprizing reports that Pakistan has also made other types of UAV’s and even some of them were purchased by USA for its border patrolling purposes.Tornado UAV Pakistan

The importance of the UAV’s have grown tremendously after the war on terror that our military is fighting against Indian backed terrorists operating in the tribal areas of Pakistan. The importance of reconnaissance can not be denied in the new form of War on Terror which Pakistan is fighting against the Indian backed terrorists in the tribal areas of Pakistan. Pakistan Air Force has already inducted two squadrons of these UAV’s and are planning to induct four more squadrons.

Since 2002, Pakistan has dramatically expanded its robotic fleet in the sky, Defense News reports. The Pakistani Air Force has two UAV squadrons — and is looking to build up to six.

“Al-Qaida and Taliban fighters use not just mobile and satellite phones for communication, but also sophisticated military radios,” Defense News notes. So companies like East West Infiniti are building SIGINT [signals intelligence] for small drones and robotic blimps, to capture those conversations.

Designed for militaries unable to afford high-end, dedicated SIGINT platforms, [East West's] Whisper Watch [system] can detect and monitor electronic emissions up to 250 kilometers away and then retransmit to a ground station located out of harms way.

Karachi-based Integrated Dynamics actually exports its Border Eagle surveillance drone to the United States for border patrol duties. The company also makes drones the turbojet-powered Tornado decoy, which can fly up to 200 kilometers, and emit false radar signals to “confuse enemy air defenses into thinking they are attacking aircraft,” Defense News says.
