The Elbit Hermes 450 is an Israeli medium-sized multi-payload unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed for tactical long endurance missions.

It has an endurance of over 20 hours, with a primary mission of reconnaissance, surveillance and communications relay.

Payload options include electro-optical/infrared sensors, communications and electronic intelligence, synthetic-aperture radar/ground-moving target indication, electronic warfare, and hyperspectral sensors.

Choice of payloads includes EO/IR/Laser, SAR/GMTI & MPR, COMINT/COMMJAM, ELINT, hyperspectral systems, large area scanning systems and other payloads. Hermes 450’s highly autonomous and ergonomic operation results in mission effectiveness with no piloting skills required.

The system is easily mobilized and rapidly deployable. Mission management is performed via the Hermes ground control system (GCS). Hermes 450 can perform two concurrent missions from the same GCS using two ground data terminals (GDT).

With multi-payload capability (150 kg, 300 L, 1.6 kVA) the Hermes 450 is effective for ISTAR, SIGINT, communication relays and other missions for Division to Corps levels. It is powered by a 52 hp rotary UEL engine that provides a maximum speed of 95 KTAS@SL, altitude over 18 kft, endurance over 20 hours.

The Hermes 450 features fully redundant avionics, fully autonomous flight, LOS and/or satellite communication data link with a fully composite structure that is highly mobile and easily deployed.

Testing is very good for weapon producers.

Stev60

Weapon producers are testing the patience of God, and Fate.

occupybacon

You don’t say that when Russia is testing weapons.

Stev60

My statement was generic.

God
Stev60

God? OGD at best.

tzatz

So … Israeli tech works? lol

The Arab/Muslim animus towards the Jews / Zionists / Israelis has created a generation of Israelis who have created ‘Start Up Nation’ … who are leading / growing / thinking about technology … full stop

Military applications have followed … as have medical and agricultural applications … eh?

Drone Warfare is an Israeli advance … it saves lives and kills the enemy

Robots will be guarding borders soon enough … life is precious … eh?

The Future is About to Land …

Free man

“The Arab/Muslim animus towards the Jews” – A Muslim country, a strategic ally of Israel, uses advanced Israeli weapons. And wins the war thanks to it.

tzatz

Azerbijan is a secular Muslim majority state … it’s animus is towards it’s enemies … in this instance … Armenia

Israel is NOT Azerbijan’s enemy … hello?

Jens Holm

Maybee HELLO is better:)

Free man

Azerbijan is a Muslim country, a strategic ally of Israel, which uses advanced Israeli weapons. And wins the war thanks to it.
You wrote in an inclusive way about Arabs / Muslims.

Jens Holm

I can only see, You dont respect the Azarbaisinis and as an own country.

And fx:

“However, on October 5, Keyhan published an interview with Ali Akbar Velayati, Khamenei’s adviser on international matters, in which he took Azerbaijan’s side in the conflict. Velayati described the Nagorno-Karabakh region as “occupied territory” belonging to Azerbaijan and said the Islamic regime would help Baku reclaim it.”

Free man

An Iranian lip service only.
The Mullahs regime is an existential threat for Azerbaijan.

Jens Holm

I mainly see it as oil for wepaon and trade. Azerbaidian is no enemy to Iran and více versa. They have good thin relations as I see it.

occupybacon

You mean Saudi Arabia? :))

Free man

This is also true :-)
I don’t like generalizations of whole groups of people.

occupybacon

I like the funny ones, the most.

Stev60

Terminator, some ‘Future’.

tzatz

Hey … that’s the Future

China has built Re-education camps … China has built a surveillance system with 5G … BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING …

These are the last decades of FREEDOM on Planet Earth …. these comments are REAL from (mostly) real people … lol

The Future is About to Land …

next

Stev60

Sounds like you prefer it, you sure prefer to downvote calling it Terminator.

occupybacon

Israelis drones are almost as advanced as Houthis drones. Haha joking.

Captain Freedom

Am I the only one who is concerned about the lack of a certain “Iron” hasbara internet warrior? Time to declare him “Missing In Action”

HitlerWasRight

he was called to instanbul to give erdogan a rim job

occupybacon

ADL is the left wing, Iron is in the right wing, AIPAC

Captain Freedom

Two wings, same bird

cechas vodobenikov

in truth these r amerikan drones; USA provides Israel 3.8$ billion per year

Jens Holm

If You go to Haifa and buy more then one, You might get discount.

occupybacon

If he sells all his empy bottles of vodka, no discount is needed for him.

Stev60

That thing looks evil and it is evil. Its real ‘payload’ is Perdition, to Israel, and to Mankind. What none of these assholes (Israeli or otherwise) seem to get is, become liable to Judgement, and Judgement will come, at a time not of the assholes’ choosing.
