Pakistan to begin co-production of Falco UAV: Flight Global

By Greg Waldron

The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) is about to begin the co-production of Selex Galileo's Falco unmanned air vehicle at its facilities in Kamra.

The Falco will be the first military UAV to be produced in Pakistan, says the nation's air force, which expects the first example to be rolled out in the "near future". The type will be used primarily for surveillance missions, says air force chief of staff Air Marshal Farhat Hussain.

PAC engineers have spent two years on the project, which represents a "major step toward the goal of self-reliance in military aviation", says Hussain. "The Falco UAV will greatly enhance the air force's operational capability," he adds.
