India's Aeronautical Development Establishment is planning to fly a prototype of its Rustom medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle as early as 2012-13. A mock-up of the UAV was on display at Aero India 2009. India looks likely to continue its close relationship with Israel in the UAV area on Rustom, ac- cording to industry sources attending the event. Roles for Rustom cover intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance as well as signals intelligence.
