Aeronautics Ltd. – a company specializing in designing, developing and manufacturing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for the global defense and HLS markets – on April 17 announced a contract to supply dozens of its Orbiter 3 systems to the Greek Ministry of Defense. The agreement is part of the large contract between the Israeli and Greek Ministry of Defense, worth approximately €370 million
As part of the contract, Rafael will provide an advanced solution enabling significant operational advantage to the modern battlefield. While the Orbiter 3 systems detect, recognize and identify (DRI) the target, the Spike missiles, launched from the air, sea, or land, can rapidly close the sensor-to-shooter loop, using the “Fire Weaver” C4I system. The rapid Sensor to Shooter process implementing advanced technologies, enables mission success.
The Orbiter 3 is a small tactical unmanned aerial system providing superior performance for both defense and HLS applications. Highlights of the Orbiter 3 operational performance include advanced ISTAR capabilities, runway-independent, long endurance, the capability of carrying various types of payloads, advanced image processing, a small logistical footprint, navigation including in a GPS-denied environment and the ability to withstand harsh weather conditions.
