In 2016 Elbit Systems introduced ReDrone – a drone detection and neutralization system that detects, identifies, tracks and neutralizes different types of drones at a designated airspace. The system can separate the drone’s signals from the stream coming from the operator’s remote control unit, thus pinpoint both the drone and the operator’s directions and location. The advanced detection system provides 360-degree perimeter protection and constantly updated situational awareness simultaneously handling multiple drones. After detecting a target, the ReDrone can activate the jammer to disrupt the drone’s communication link, blocks its radio, video signals and GPS positioning data, to send it off track, preventing it from carrying out an attack.
Elbit Systems Introduces a New Tactical UAS: the Hermes 650 Spark
Elbit Systems has rolled out the Hermes 650 Spark, the latest addition to its Hermes family of Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS). Spark is designed to be the contemporary successor to the long-serving Hermes 450, aiming to modernize UAS fleets that currently consist of mixed 450/900 models or are exclusively equipped with the 450 variants.
