It was something (possibly Archer) they tested back in the mid-2000s, but they didn't go ahead with it. I think had the Thales deal for Block-I/II gone through, we would've gotten TopOwl-F with it. That aside, there's basically only the Elbit Targos-line, and that's a non-starter. So, we're waiting for someone to develop an alternative.
I know that China is working on a few solutions for HMD, considering how much money they have sunk into R&D for their Aviation Sector. If its a top priority, i am sure PAF must be working on this right now.
