Elbit Systems to Upgrade Hermes 900 UAS for Two
Latin American Customers
|
Elbit Systems has been awarded two contracts,
valued at a total of approximately US$20 million, from undisclosed
Latin American customers wanting to upgrade the capabilities of
their Hermes 900 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
Both contracts will be performed within a
12-month period.
Under the contracts, Elbit will integrate
satellite communication systems and automatic takeoff and landing
systems into the Hermes 900 UAS that the customers are already
operating.
The upgrade will advance these Medium Altitude Long
Endurance (MALE) UAS to the latest configuration, enabling
extension of the operational range to more than 1000km and
performing the takeoff and landing autonomously and independent of
GPS reception.
Since its debut 10 years ago, the Hermes 900 UAS
has been selected by numerous customers across four continents,
performing a wide range of missions in the fields of intelligence,
surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR),
homeland security and maritime search and rescue.
