Elbit Systems will begin the international marketing of a new aircraft, the HermesTM 900 StarLiner (Hermes 900 Starliner), the new medium-altitude UAV (Medium-altitude Altitude Long Endurance) and the ability of the aircraft to withstand severe weather and meet all STANAG 4671 standards. NATO is preparing the new UAV for safe operation in national air space and operating in the same flight space alongside civilian aircraft, and at the end of a series of intensive flight tests of about one year, the Hermes 900 Starliner is currently carrying out flights at Masada National Park, And other UAVs of this type (known in Switzerland as Hermes 900 HFE) are currently assembled for the SW Army Where supply and integration into Switzerland's national airspace are planned for 2019.
Security events such as the disintegration of Da'ash and various geopolitical tensions have led European countries to re-focus their security efforts and move from involvement in conflicts in remote areas to coping with increasing security and border security challenges. This change has led to an increase in the demand for advanced and mature UAV systems capable of safely integrating into civilian airspace, operating in the same space as civilian civilian aircraft, and providing the technological capabilities required to carry out complex internal security and border security tasks. Hermes 900 and Hermes 450 worldwide, Elbit Systems has conducted a long-term research and development effort that focused on the design and manufacture of a fully developed UAV system that is fully adapted to the regulatory requirements for civilian and civilian flight operations in Europe.
Compliance with stringent regulatory requirements related to unmanned civilian flight space required Elbit Systems to design and develop all components of the Hermes 900 Starliner system while fully complying with NATO standards and incorporate the most advanced aviation technologies in the new UAV, including: Aircraft collision detection and avoidance systems (both cooperative and non-cooperative), land proximity warning and collision prevention systems, automatic takeoff and landing systems under visibility, redundancy of communication systems both in and beyond the line of sight, as well as extreme weather travel systems that allow, The rest, preventing de-icing Lt compliance with a direct hit of lightning. These technological improvements allow the aircraft to operate without visibility meteorological conditions when its heavy fuel engine improves the speed of ascent and flight and extending the length of stay in the air.
Elad Aaronson, senior vice president and general manager of the intelligence division at Elbit Systems, commented: "The ability to anticipate the increasing need for the operation of cement in the same flight space alongside civilian aircraft is the one that enabled us to achieve the breakthrough and to manufacture, for the first time, "We are committed to maintaining the approach of technological innovation based on extensive operational experience and providing our customers with advanced and mature systems that improve effectiveness and safety in addressing evolving national security needs."
