French Harfang UAV logs 2,000 flight hours in Mali

Issue No. 18 | September 16-30, 2013

The French Air Force has announced that the Harfang unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has logged 2,000 flight hours in support of French operations in Mali since its deployment in January 2013. The Harfang UAV is operated by the French Air Force’s 1/33 Belfort UAV squadron in Mali, where it conducts in-theatre intelligence gathering for combat operations. This includes assisting air force and naval aviation attack aircraft to acquire enemy targets on the ground.

The Harfang medium altitude long endurance UAV, manufactured by EADS Cassidian, can fulfil a wide range of missions, from surveillance to sensitive peacekeeping.
