"Video: Israel's New UAV Flies Like a Plane, Hovers Like a Copter"

"With its three ultra-quiet electrical motors, the Panther, which weighs roughly 65 kg (143 pounds), can loiter for approximately six hours at an altitude of up to 10,000 feet, with a radius of operation of over 60 kilometers (37 miles). The Panther UAV carries IAI's Mini-POP (Plug-in Optronic Payload) - a day/night stabilized camera with a laser range finder, pointer or laser designator.

Prototypes of the Panther platform have conducted successful flight tests and will be operational by 2011."
