US helping Pakistan to choose its weapons for war on terror
March 30th, 2010
As per Senior Military Official from the Pentagon, US is helping Pakistan to choose its weapons for war on terror. To quote the Senior Military Official “As the secretary was there, one of the Pakistan – Advances in Space Technologies lists of requirements that General Kayani outlines is about information surveillance. They, like others, go to different shows and see the capabilities of the different tactical UAVs that are out there. They have indicated Shadow.
And we took them across to Afghanistan to look at some other models. What we’re trying to do is get with them to be able to articulate the requirements of what they need, be able to rack and stack the requirements for endurance and dwell time and type of capabilities on the drone, and then match it against how quickly we may be able to get them to theater and purchase them. So we’re working with them right now in order to correctly identify the requirements and then match the best platform to their needs based on several factors to be able to get there.
Well, it could be Shadows — and this is what we’re trying to do. We looked at different versions; we looked at Shadows, we looked at ScanEagles and other tactical UAVs that are out and about. And what we want to do is try to find out — as we always say, you know, one of the things we look at on a strike group or whatever is, rather than tell me “I want a(n) Aegis cruiser,” “I want a DDG,” “I want a Shadow 500,” tell me what the requirements are, and then let’s match the right equipment to the requirements. And that’s what we’re trying to work them through.”
