GOOD NEWS FOR INDIA: ISRAEL EASES UAV EXPORT RESTRICTIONS
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 02, 2017 BY INDIANDEFENSE NEWS
Israel's defense ministry has eased the previously severe restrictions it had imposed on local companies seeking to export unmanned air systems. The change in policy was prompted by growing competition in the market for such equipment.
An Israeli defense industry source says that a change in attitude over recent months has been very clear. "We [now] receive export licences to countries that were banned before, and for systems that we could never dream of exporting," the source says. It has also become easier for companies to deliver on technology transfer requirements, the source says.
The defense ministry says the new guidelines are accompanied by strict "end user" agreements reached with customers, with penalties to be imposed if terms are breached. Its decision to ease controls on sales is intended to give Israel's defense industry better opportunities to compete in the international market.
This augurs well for India as the country is the largest buyer of Israeli made military drones.
