UTC Aerospace Systems has a new foreign customer for the DB-110 long-range, wide-area tactical reconnaissance sensor, and is expecting more via a new contracting method. Meanwhile, the U.S. Air National Guard (ANG) is planning to buy the MS-110 multispectral version for fitting to MQ-9 Reaper UAVs, following a successful operational assessment. The ANG will thus become the first U.S. domestic customer for the sensor, which has been sold to 14 overseas countries for F-15s, F-16s, Tornados, P-3s, and business jets.
