Some of our neigbour like Singapore has operate and produce her own UAV.Back in 1996 our Spec Op Commander Lt Gen(ret) Prabowo Subianto borrowed some Singapore's Mazlat-scout for tracking the Papua Rebel who kidnapped foreign scientist in Papua jungle.Now Indonesia start building her own UAV industry.
This Indonesian UAV is designed for tactical reconnaisance.The PTTA (pesawat terbang tanpa awak/unmanned aerial vehicle) 55 will be used for military and non military purpose.It first flight in 8 Oktober 2003
I see this plane in Indo Defence 2004 Expo & Forum.
The operation range for "Low Altitude & Endurance-version" of the UAV is only 20 km.It has a CCD camera payload.Hopefully the next plane will have longer operation range and maybe equipped with missiles
