General
Any country with a proximity to the sea needs to clearly identify threats against it that are originated in the maritime arena and prevent them in time.
Such threats may include illegal fishery, piracy, terror activities and any other activity aimed against the country's sovereignty.
These threats can create small to large radar cross sections according to their size and thus the country's defense force needs means with pin-point detection and identification capabilities to identify them.
IAI/Malat, a world leader in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in almost four decades, meets these needs by offering its comprehensive maritime solution, which complies with every country's operational needs.
IAI/Malat is expanding the user's horizons by offering him its comprehensive solutions for the maritime arena, based on its fixed wings Maritime Heron UAS and NRUAV VTOL System.
IAI/Malat's Maritime Heron System is able to take off and land from an aircraft carrier and its Naval Rotary UAV (NRUAV) is capable of operating from a land base as well as from a dynamic maritime platform (any ship landing deck).
The Maritime UAV missions
The maritime UAV serves in homeland security paramilitary and war-time missions.
It expands the user's horizons by providing Over The Horizon Targeting (OTHT) and by increasing its scanning area, its time over target and its mission flexibility.
The maritime UAV also serves in real time battle damage assessment.
During peace time the maritime UAV system prevents the penetration of any sea borne hostile intruder, protects the country's rights and interests in the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ) and supports in Search and Rescue operations.
In war-time the maritime UAV system achieves naval superiority, assists in destruction of enemy naval forces, defends the coast lines and supports ground operations (littoral warfare).
Both the Maritime Heron and the NRUAV systems are fully capable of carrying multiple payloads and sensors simultaneously and provide a full array of intelligence gathering capabilities from target detection to its full, positive identification.
