El gobierno de Israel ha requerido a sus empresas especializadas en UAS, el desarrollo de UCAS (Unmanned Combat Aerial Systems) con mayores prestaciones tales como: plataformas m\u00e1s livianas y de muy largo alcance, mayor velocidad, menor \u201cfirma radar y ac\u00fastica\u201d, m\u00e1s carga \u00fatil para armamento y la capacidad de reabastecimiento de combustible en vuelo de manera completamente aut\u00f3noma. Al menos 3 sistemas UCAS est\u00e1n siendo desarrollados sobre la base de los requerimientos citados, encontr\u00e1ndose en diferentes grados de avance. Algunos son \u201cupgrades\u201d de sistemas existentes y otros\u00a0desarrollos completamente nuevos. Israel es l\u00edder en I&D de UCAS de probada eficiencia en combate, que son empleados por sus propias FFAA, atendiendo a un\u00a0mercado que demanda cada vez m\u00e1s estas tecnolog\u00edas emergentes y potencialmente disruptivas.<\/p>\n

TEL AVIV \u2014 The Israeli government has tasked its domestic drone providers to develop longer range, higher-speed armed UAVs, as Jerusalem considers its\u00a0potential options for strikes<\/a>\u00a0against Iran in the future, defense sources tell Breaking Defense.<\/p>\n

At least three such armed UAVs are now in different development stages. Some are upgrades of currently operational systems, while others are totally new designs. The effort is focused primarily on longer endurance, as well as lowering the signature of the systems. For instance, the Hermes-450 is powered by a Rotax engine, which is very noisy; that\u2019s not a problem when used over Gaza or the West Bank but could be problematic in longer-range scenarios. (Some years ago, the IAF with Elbit attached mufflers to the engine to lower the sound signature, but it is not enough, and new versions may be powered by other types of engines.)<\/p>\n

Beyond distance and stealth, sources were unwilling to share in-depth details about what the\u00a0Israeli<\/a>\u00a0MoD is seeking from industry. However, it appears the wish list includes special payloads that would enable upgrading the mission details while the platform is \u201cfar, very far\u201d from Israel, per one industry source. Special weapon systems that are light and carry \u201cvery powerful\u201d warheads and the option of air refueling of armed UAV\u2019s is also \u201con the table,\u201d according to a second source with knowledge of the discussions.<\/p>\n

That Israel has homemade armed drones has been an open secret for years, but the government only lifted a gag order censoring any discussion\u00a0about the systems in July<\/a>. According to multiple sources, the move came as a result of growing pressure from Israel\u2019s domestic military industry, which hopes to cash in on the systems with markets abroad; one industry source told Breaking Defense there are already \u201congoing\u201d discussions with potential customers.<\/p>\n

The two armed UAVs that are publicly known are the Hermes-450, made by Elbit systems and the Heron\u2013TP made by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). The Hermes-450 has a takeoff weight of 550 KG and a max payload of 180 kgs, endurance of 17 hours and the max altitude of 18.000 feet. The Heron \u2013TP has a max takeoff weight of 5,670 kgs, a max payload of 2,700 kgs, 30 hours of endurance and a max altitude of 45.000 feet.<\/p>\n

However, Israeli defense sources said that these two UAV\u2019s are only the \u201ctip of the iceberg\u201d and that the IAF is using additional platforms equipped with special payloads and special weapon systems. However, the specifics of these UAV\u2019s are highly classified even as they perform missions almost daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe capabilities of these UAV are huge, and they enable Israel to perform long-range pinpoint attacks on targets all over the middle east,\u201d one of the sources said.<\/p>\n

The last one according to sources happened on Tuesday when UAV\u2019s claimed to be Israeii, attacked a convoy of trucks on its way from Iran to Syria.<\/p>\n

The reports claimed that 15 people in the convoy were killed and that the trucks and tankers were destroyed. The convoy was attacked in Abu Al Kamal, a border town frequently utilized as a shipment point by militant organizations linked to Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards.<\/p>\n

The almost daily use of UAV\u2019s some of them armed with a variety of weapons explains the fact that 80 % of the total number of flight hours performed by the IAF are with UAV of different types.<\/p>\n

Tal Inbar, an Israeli defense analyst, told Breaking Defense that the global demand for armed UAVs is soaring. \u201cIsrael has developed some of the most advanced armed UAV and the dedicated munitions,\u201d he noted, but emphasized that the Israeli Air Force has wisely invested a lot of work in developing the operational procedures aimed at getting best results from operating these systems.<\/p>\n
