The export of Watchkeeper unmanned aerial system (UAS) components are licensed from the UK to Israel solely for the purpose of supporting onward export to a Romanian UAS programme.

The Department has published extensive information on our export licences to Israel. This is available here: Israel export control licensing data: 28 February 2026 - GOV.UK.
