India’s likely accession to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) next month may clear the way for acquisition of armed Predator C jet-powered UAVs made by California-based General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc (GA-ASI). The country first expressed interest in the drone, also named Avenger by California-based GA-ASI, last September. India has also made inquiries about the Predator XP, but this export version is licensed only for surveillance.
