November, 26, 2014 – Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is presenting today a variety of advanced solutions and systems at the Autonomous Unmanned Systems & Robotics (AUS&R) exposition in Rishon Lezion.

 

IAI, a global leader in the area of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and in the realm of military and commercial robotics, will display the following:

The Super Heron UAS, features a heavy fuel 200 horsepower engine, endurance of forty-five hours and wingspan of seventeen meters.

HAROP, a loitering munitions missile, is launched from a transportable launcher and has a high quality day/night electro-optic seeker; in addition, it searches, detects and attacks accurately high value static or mobile targets at long ranges.

 

The KATANA is an unmanned surface vessel (USV) combat marine system used for homeland security applications. It supports a wide range of applications for HLS and the protection of exclusive economic zones, including – harbor security, patrol of shallow coastal and territorial waters, surface and electronic warfare and offshore platform protection (plus oil rigs, pipelines, and more).

 

IAI’s Operational Interactive Semi-Simulator, an advanced PC-based training system, simulates a graphic user interface of complex systems, such as UAVs, fault isolation and emergency situations of multiple flight scenarios, and enables trainees to better prepare for real-life experience.

IAI’s electro optical stabilized payloads provide real-time enhanced image capabilities, and enable large area surveillance and situation awareness during the day and night. The payloads can be used for special operations by unmanned aerial vehicles, manned aerial platforms, and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVS).

 

An advanced, area dominance MIST-G payload was used by IAI’s Heron UAS for the first time. Several Super Heron flight demonstrations were conducted recently in Israel, while carrying the MIST-G payload. This light-weight electro-optical system, developed by VisionMap allows simultaneous coverage of a wide area, high accuracy and high resolution. This payload joins a variety of advanced electro-optical systems carried by IAI’s Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAS, including IAI’s M-19 HD payload and Rafael’s RECCE-U payload.

 

“These advanced payloads along with SAR/GMTI radars, ELINT and COMINT sensors, create an integrative combination of various sensorsto provide solutions for advanced missions of detection and tracking large numbers of dynamic targets in wide areas.

“Using MIST-G payload, developed by VisionMap on our Heron UAS will allow our customers advanced electro-optical capabilities required to successfully handle the modern combat arena,” said Shaul Shahar, IAI VP and general manager of the Military Aircraft Group. “These capabilities provide an additional layer to IAI’s area dominance array.”

This topic will be elaborated during Mr. Shahar’s lecture at the AUS&R conference.
