Abstract

The Great Britain is working toward setting up a joint Predator unmanned aerial vehicle unit with the U.S. British personnel are soon to begin training in using the General Atomics Predator UAV, with the possibility they will then be deployed to form a U.K.-U.S. operations unit in Iraq. Predator unit stationed in the British-controlled area around Basra, at a base in Kuwait or in Qatar where it would be close to the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC). Both manned and unmanned aircraft have been enlisted in the search, and the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has been testing, in Iraq, both ground-mounted electronic jamming systems and a coherent change detection system for airborne radar.
