Mastering the Maritime Domain: IAI's Maritime Heron UAS
The vast expanse of the open seas presents unique challenges that demand a comprehensive and effective surveillance solution. From monitoring shipping lanes to conducting search and rescue operations, and ensuring the security of sovereign waters, the maritime arena demands a versatile and powerful aerial platform. Introducing IAI's Maritime Heron Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) - the ultimate guardian of the maritime domain.
Born from a legacy of unmatched operational excellence, the Maritime Heron UAS harnesses the proven capabilities of the Heron Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAS, transforming it into a versatile national security and maritime response platform. Developed in close collaboration with Israeli and international naval forces, this integrated system is tailored for maritime missions, ensuring persistent surveillance and effective response.
At the heart of the Maritime Heron UAS lies a suite of advanced mission payloads, including a Maritime Patrol Radar (MPR), Automatic Identification System (AIS), Electro Optics (EO), Electronic Support Measures (ESM), and Communications Intelligence (COMINT). These powerful sensors gather, fuse, and generate a comprehensive maritime domain awareness picture, relayed to the user via datalink, providing unparalleled situational awareness.
With a Line of Sight or SATCOM datalink, the Maritime Heron UAS boasts a limitless mission control range, ensuring seamless operations even in the most remote maritime environments. Powered by an aviation-certified engine, this formidable platform can reach an altitude of over 35,000 feet, a maximum speed of 150 knots, and an endurance of 45 consecutive hours, setting new standards in maritime surveillance.
The Heron family's robust design, proven through over 2,200,000 operational flight hours, boasts a wide and strong aerostructure, quick and efficient maintenance, short turnarounds, remote operability, and rapid payload configuration, ensuring high availability and all-weather operability.
