Lebanon received six Boeing Insitu Scan Eagle unmanned aerial systems from the United States this week, the Lebanese Armed Forces and the U.S. Embassy in Beirut said, according to the industry publication The Defense Post.
The Boeing Insitu ScanEagle drone ScanEagle is a small, portable low-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle with a flight endurance of over 20 hours used for battlefield intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance. Insitu is based in Bingen and has offices in Oregon, California, Australia and the United Kingdom.
The Scan Eagle systems, valued at more than $11 million, are part of a $120 million package of U.S. military aid for Lebanon announced in December 2017, The Defense Post reported.
