variants with their own articles=The IAI I-View (Eye-View in some sources [ [http://www.janes.com/extract/idr95/idr00502.html Jane's International Defence Review] ] ) is a small reconnaissance UAV developed in Israel in the early 21st century. Like other UAVs produced by IAI, it has fixed landing gear and a pusher propeller, with an 18.6 kW (25 hp) piston engine. It has a unique arrangement, with a tail-boom mounted on the top rear of the fuselage that ends in an inverted vee tail. The Eye-View is also being promoted in civilian markets for forest-fire warning, and in this form is appropriately known as the FireBird.

In December 2006, the I-View was selected as the winning tender in the JP129 requirement to provide a reconnaissance UAV for the Australian Defence Force.
