Description: The I-VIEW is a close-range tactical UAV system suitable for surveillance, target acquisition and artillery adjustment missions. It uses automatic catapult assisted launch and automatic precision parachute recovery. Therefore, the I-VIEW doesn't require runaways being extremely suitable for front-line battlefield operations. However, takeoff and landing operations can be performed on runways. The I-VIEW UAV family was developed by IAI's Malat Division.

The I-VIEW 250 provides airborne surveillance, reconnaissance and target acquisition capabilities in support of land operations. It can be fitted with multiple EO/IR payload options with the option to a SAR. TCDL and EPLRS communications systems ensure joint and coalition interoperability. I-VIEW 250 system also includes a highly advanced ground control station fitted to standard Army vehicles.

On December 13, 2005 an industry team comprising Boeing Australia and IAI/MALAT was selected for the Australian Defense Forces JP 129 program. JP 129 is meant to provide Australian Forces with a tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (TUAV) system providing airborne surveillance in land operations.
