Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is offering an upgraded version of
its best-selling unmanned air system (UAS), with the Heron NG to carry
an enhanced multi-sensor payload.
Representing the fourth "spiral" development of the Heron, the NG has been designed to more effectively meet the operational requirements of IAI's customers.
Sources suggest the new multi-sensor payload will enable the UAS to perform its missions over any terrain, including forests, jungles or swamps, at sea or above urban areas. Imagery and other data acquired will be relayed using a satellite communications system provided by IAI's Elta Systems subsidiary.
The modification will provide for increased flexibility in flight profile, particularly in mountainous terrain and during long-range maritime patrols, as the aircraft will be able to descend below the data link's line of sight without interrupting transmissions.
