Skylark® I





This mini man-pack UAV system is well suited for very close range, over-the-hill missions. The system is especially designed for counter-terror applications.

 

Performance-proven in cloudy, rainy and windy weather conditions, Skylark® I has demonstrated excellent optical survey, target identification and surveillance capabilities. It features a gyroscopic-stabilized gimbaled payload and a high degree of autonomous flight from take-off to precise recovery, yielding real-time intelligence at an affordable price.

 

This configuration, equipped with algorithms derived from larger Hermes® UAVs, can track fixed and moving targets, an impressive capability for a hand launched UAV. Skylark® I can be used for both defense and homeland security applications including perimeter security, border and coastal surveillance, anti-terrorism surveillance and a variety of law enforcement missions. 

Skylark® I has already accumulated more than 3000 successful operational sorties and is currently operationally active in several theatres of the global war on terror. Skylark® I set a new world record in high altitude flights, climbing to an altitude exceeding 16,000 feet and has demonstrated outstanding performance in weather conditions ranging from arctic to equatorial weather. Skylark® I is equipped with Elbit Systems new-generation night payload. Weighing only 700 grams, the thermal payload is the lightest in its class. The payload’s capabilities include very wide area coverage, continuous tracking of moving targets and a higher resolution rate than any of its predecessors.

Skylark® I has already been selected by numerous customers. It is operational with the Israeli Defense Force’s and in several other armed forces.
