On the sidelines of the exhibition, SOC Special Forces Command contracted Seeker 400 rollers for the Presidential Guard PG from Denel, South Africa, for $ 13 million.

The setup will be composed of 6 drones with three command and control units...

The Seeker 400 will come with an industrial aperture radar SAR in addition to an electro-optical detection device to detect and illuminate targets, in addition to carrying the SATCOM system.

The drone can carry two guided missiles as well as SIGNT / COMINT systems..

The drone will be able to fly at an altitude of 18 thousand feet and will have a stay of up to 16 hours in the air, when using the direct data link, it will have a range of up to 250 km and when using the Beyond Line of Sight system it will reach more than 700 km..

** What is known is that since 2008 the UAE has been actively trying to upgrade and expand its armed forces. One of the new units established (in 2010) was a Presidential Guard Command (PGC). This was described as a “best of the best” unit containing the most reliable and capable troops the UAE had. There are only about 5,000 troops in the PGC and most of them appear to be in the even more mysterious SOC (Special Operations Command).

Is the Seeker 400 already out?
