Airship to keep eye on Mideast
Israel has begun development of a 200-yard-long airship that would
remain stationed at almost 70,000 feet above Earth for years and
permit tracking of aircraft and missile firings as far as 600 miles
away, a distance covering most of the Arab world.

Seems like a great idea - a cheap AWACS/JSTAR! And particularly well suited
for a small geographical area like Israel.
