Draft:INTA SIVA

{{The INTA SIVA ( Sistema Integrado de Vigilancia Aérea, Spanish for Integrated System of Aerial Surveilance) is a UAV system developed by INTA as part of the Spanish Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Program. The program includes the UAV along with its ground control segment.

Development
The program was launched in 1988, when the Spanish government kickstarted a national program to develop a UAV surveillance system for its armed forces. It culminated in the completion of the program in 2006.

Another special characteristic is the ability to program the mission characteristics in the on board computer and have the UAV execute the mission without any human input.

Since 2012 the Spanish Air Force is employing the system in its drone flight school in Matacán.
