Japan Gets First Look at U.S. Drone with Tests in Nagasaki

A U.S. defense contractor is pitching a large drone, a variant of the Predator used in the Iraq War, in the first demonstration of its kind in Japan from the airport here. However, the Guardian drone is not equipped with military equipment and is being tested strictly for civilian purposes. The three-week demonstration, which began May 10, is being conducted by General Atomics Corp. in cooperation with the Iki city government, land ministry, Defense Ministry and other parties. The Guardian is derived from the Predator, which was used by the U.S. military for reconnaissance, surveillance and missile attacks during the Iraq War.
