KAI flags scaled down Night Intruder variant
Korea Aerospace Industries has quietly begun to market test a revised scaled down configuration of its Night Intruder 300 unmanned air system.
A model of the new variant – which retains the name Night Intruder - was shown by KAI at last months’ Paris Airshow but with company officials declining to comment on the configuration changes.
A data sheet displayed by the company at the airshow advised that “KAI developed Night Intruder, a next generation tactical unmanned air system, based on Night Intruder 300. Latest technologies such as miniaturisation and modularisation were applied for the development of the Night Intruder”.
