Elbit's Hermes 450 UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System)

A major player in Israels ongoing security activities, the Hermes® 450 is the Israeli Defense primary UAV system. The versatile, long-endurance UAV, equipped with Elbit Systems CoMPASS EO/IR/LD gimbaled electro-optical payload, can adapt to a wide range of payloads, including SAR/GMTI radar and dual payload configurations. Hermes® 450 executes its diverse missions in a highly autonomous manner and is controlled by the Hermes® Universal Ground Control System (UGCS), facilitates highly automated mission operation and control of the air vehicle and EO/IR/LD payload.

The UAV is equipped with sophisticated communication systems transmitting imagery in real time to ground stations. Selected as the base line for the UK WATCHKEEPER program, Hermes® 450 is recognized as the leading long endurance tactical UAV in its class, having flown in U.S operations and history-making flights in UK civil airspace. To date, the Hermes® 450 has accumulated more than 65,000 flight hours.

The Hermes® 450 B is the version for the UK Watchkeeper program, with all weather capability, ruggedized structure and dual electro-optics and GMTI/SAR payloads.
