A partnership between the military-owned King Abdullah I Design and Development Bureau and Jordan Aerospace Industries could result in the Hashemite kingdom becoming the UAV center for the Arab world. Industry sources and executives said Jordan has become the first country to develop, produce and market indigenous UAVs for the military and security market.

The UAVs were designed and developed by JAI. They include stand-alone and integrated tactical systems that are all in the size of mini-UAVs.

"The militaries in the countries in the region are in need of UAVs," JAI president Muayad Samaree said. "So far, we are the only ones offering indigenous systems in the Arab world."

The difference between their UAVs and ours is that we can shoot theirs down.
