Tekever has been awarded a 400-million-pound ($536-million) contract to bring new spy drones into British Army service, replacing an aging system used for more than a decade.

Its electro-optical and infrared systems can collect, process, and transmit high-resolution video in real time, giving commanders a live view of activity across the battlefield.
