DTN News - THE END OF GADDAFI'S RULE IN LIBYA: Libyan Rebels Use UAV To Locate Gaddafi Forces

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - September 1, 2011: Rebel forces in Libya making the final push to end the regime of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have been making use of modern UAV technology.

According to the US-based AUVSI, the rebels have been using Canadian technology to help them know where to shoot as they surrounded Gadaffi’s compound and hometown stronghold.

The Aeryon Scout Micro UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) – a 1.3kg backpack-sized drone - was chosen by the Transitional National Council to acquire intelligence on Gaddafi’s forces’ positions to help coordinate attacks. The TNC was working alongside Ottawa’s Zariba Security.
