Looking to address the growing demand for Tactical MALE UAV platforms, Elbit Systems has recently added the Hermes^® 900 to its growing UAV family.

The Hermes^® 900 is a natural extension of the Hermes^® 450 tactical UAV systems, with full compatibility in missions and support infrastructure. While offering all Hermes® UAV family capabilities, it features larger multi-payload configurations, higher flight altitude and extended flight time, with its 15m wingspan, 970 kg max takeoff weight, larger payload capacity (300Kg) and longer endurance, The Hermes^® 900 is an all weather UAV system. It incorporates an IATOL (Internal Auto Takeoff and Landing) system that enables auto-landing even on alternate non-instrumented runways. Like the Hermes^® 450, internationally renowned for its unmatched safety record and reliability, the Hermes^® 900 features full redundancy and fault tolerant avionics and electronics architecture. 

The new UAV is well-equipped with advanced features including built-in autonomous emergency procedures, ATC (Air Traffic Control) radio, radio relay, and IFF transponder. The Hermes^® 900 is controlled by Elbit Systems UGCS (Universal Ground Control Station) which can control two UAVs at any given time from a single station while a single operator operates the air vehicle and payloads for each UAV.

The new Hermes^® 900 delivers the highest quality of performance for the lowest life cycle cost; a distinction based predominantly on its lowest number of operators and maintenance crew requirements. The Hermes^® 900 system supports numerous missions and specialized applications such as electro-optics, IR imaging laser range finder and laser designation, as well as SAR/GMTI, COMINT DF, ELINT and electronic warfare.  The system maintains secured redundant Line Of Sight (LOS) data link as well as  satellite communication (BLOS) Beyond Line of Sight.
