According to the ministry, the team will be deployed starting this month.
The mission is run in partnership with the U.S. military, which will allow the Romanian troops to undergo training and use its PGSS equipment.
The PGSS are modern air research platforms, equipped with high-performance sensors, mounted on helium-filled balloons, anchored to the ground or to mobile telescopic towers. Their introduction in the Afghanistan theater has improved information-gathering capabilities and provided a more accurate picture of the situation in the monitored areas, for the purposes of troop protection.
