The Tadiran Mastiff is a battlefield unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) built by Tadiran Electronic Industries of Israel. It is regarded by some military historians as the world's first modern military surveillance drone.
Design and development
The Mastiff first flew in 1973. It featured a data-link system and miniaturized electronics that fed live and high-resolution video coverage of the targeted area to operators. It is thus seen by some as the first modern surveillance UAV. == Previous Operators ==
