Hawker 4000 Spy Tool For Troops

2009-12-22T10:06:00.000-08:00

U.S. troops in Afghanistan are getting a new tool in their
fight against terrorism in the form of a spy plane that
will provide ground troops with still images, video and
eavesdropping, Bloomberg reported.

The first of the 24 new Hawker Beechcraft four-man
twin-propeller plane is expected to arrive by Christmas
-- one month ahead of schedule, Lt. General David Deptula
said in an e-mail, Bloomberg reported.

In April 2008, the planes were ordered by Defense Secretary
Robert Gates to up the number of manned and unmanned
aircraft collecting intelligence data, and will now be used
to help support the 30,000 troops Obama ordered to Afghanistan.

The plans have the capability to send images and video
directly to ground troops, who will have portable computers
that will let them see the images, Bloomberg reported.

They will also help provide 24-hour video that is now
provided by unmanned drones.
