The Heron MK II, a Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAV, represents an enhanced version of the Heron UAV. This model is employed by the Israeli Air Force and is operational with over 20 other entities globally.
Evolved from the proven Heron Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) family, the Tactical Heron brings IAI's latest technologies to bear for demanding intelligence, surveillance, Target Acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions at the tactical level.
Drones have become a popular and versatile provider of tactical ISR. However, when heavier payloads are required for extended mission endurance and range, fixed-wing UAS are preferred.
Electrically powered multirotor platforms are used by the military for many applications but face significant limitations regarding weather, mission endurance, and range.
ELTA's ELI-3332 system is an advanced Aerostat-borne intelligence payload especially designed to overcome obstacles of Line Of Sight (LOS) and perform continuous ground Intelligence and Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
As laser-based communication can transfer a lot more data and deliver the goods at far faster speeds than radio waves – and at tremendous bandwidths that require no compression – RF is sure to be edged out by laser-based communication.
There are a number of current threats in space. Some sixty years of space missions have left tangible traces in low earth orbit (LEO). Space debris and the Kessler syndrome are very real dangers.
HENSOLDT helps to lift the veil on the mysteries of space. One of the seemingly most pressing matters – affecting everyone – is the prediction of the weather.
