A friend of mine E-mailed to me this morning,just thought I would pass it on. Also I spoke with a very High level engineer that works on many
classified projects on Edwards Air Force base about plfm. He said that he could not comment on plfm directly yet the technology is right in line with other on going projects.These engineers are a great bunch, yet very closed mouthed.

Even With Financial Markets in Decline,
Need for Surveillance Remains Strong
The Asian market is waking up to the unmanned aerial vehicle call. This, at
least is the impression Show News gathers from exhibitors here at Changi who
are competing for new orders expected in the region. Despite the current
economic downturn, surveillance and reconnaissance are considered to be high
priority missions that frequently relate to national security peacetime use.

Malaysia is one of the countries interested in UAVs for surveillance
missions, as is Thailand, which recently fielded a unit for the first time.
Singapore, which was disappointed with the IAI/Malat Searcher, could elect
to have another try with the much improved Searcher Mk II, which made its
debut at the show here. Singapore has also shown interest in a UAV for close
range, for intelligence and fire support.

Bombardier, SAGEM, South Africa's ATE, Israel Aircraft Industries and Silver
Arrow will bid on this program, as will AAI. The relatively long list of
would-be vendors reflects the still-unclear requirement of the Singapore
army, which has yet to determine exactly what it needs these systems to do.
The unclear situation could be solved when the army decides on the status of
another program, for an even smaller UAV, designed for battalion-level
mission support.

Other countries with interest in UAVs are the Philippines and Taiwan; both
have requirements for a tactical UAV. Their focus will likely be on low-cost
systems, such as Silver Arrow's new Sniper, the IAI/Malat Eye View, and
Sagem's Sperwer.

The Czech company Omnipol is also here at Changi, and could propose its
Skoje III system, which is already operational in Czech Republic.
