United States DoD has offered to supply to Ukraine three RQ-11B Raven unmanned aircraft systems in a potential deal worth more than $3 million, a diplomatic source said last week.
Under the contract, the US side suggests organizing two-week training courses for Ukrainian drone operators at Redstone Arsenal base (Alabama, US.)
One Raven complex — aircraft and an applicable controlled station — would cost about $300,000, he said, but the whole contract might be valued at more than $3 million, as it included preparation of operators and aircraft maintenance in the United States.
The RQ-11B Raven unmanned aircraft system is a 4.5-pound hand-launched sensor platform that provides day and night, real-time video imagery wirelessly to a portable ground control station for ‘over the hill’ and ‘around the corner’ reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition in support of tactical units.
