Israel is developing a new attack uav that is base on the Heron
but will be bigger (more like a medium business jet), but with lesser weight.
It would be able to be airborne for 30 hours or more, armed with
missiles and searching for surface to surface missiles/lunchers.
The search will be conduct by sensorson on the uav in the area that the intelligence think the Scuds are.
It will be able to fly alone fully automated or to receive new
orders from ground control stations.
The link below will give info on the Heron UAV.
