Selex Buys UAV Firm Utri

Finmeccanica unit Selex Galileo has purchased Utri, an Italian small UAV firm, Selex said May 12.
Trieste-based Utri, which was founded in 2003, has previously teamed with Selex, offering its designs for marketing by Selex.
Selex said it can now directly market Utri electric UAV products, including the Asio, a 6.5-kilogram Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) UAV, the fixed-wing, hand-launched Crex-B weighing 2 kilograms and the ducted-fan VTOL Spyball.
Selex already markets the Falco tactical UAV, which it says is the only European-built UAV to be exported. The cost of purchasing Utri was not given.
