MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA), a provider of essential information solutions, has announced that it has signed a contract to provide training support to the British Army.
The training support will include acquiring video using small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. The video will be transmitted in real-time to soldiers’ remote terminals, allowing them to be trained in the tasking of surveillance aircraft and the use of the information collected.
