Ang Hermes 900 ay isang israely medyum-size, multi-payload, medyum-altitude
00:09.4
long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle disegned for tactical missions.
00:14.7
It is a successor to the Hermes 450 series of drones, one of the most widely used military
00:21.8
drones in the world. It has an endurance of over 30 hours and can fly at a maximum
00:28.2
altitude of 30,000 feet with a primary mission of reconnaissance, surveillance and communications
00:34.9
relay. The Hermes 900 has a wingspan of 49 feet and weighs 970 kilogram with a payload
00:43.5
capability of 300 kilogram. Payload options include electro-optical infrared sensors,
00:51.0
synthetic aperture radar ground moving target indication, communications and electronic
00:56.9
intelligence, electronic warfare and hyperspectral sensors. The Hermes 900 was first used by Israel
01:05.5
during Operation Protective Edge in July 2014. It had been undergoing test flights and wasn't
01:13.0
planned for operational deployment until late 2015, but it was introduced during the operation
01:19.4
for unique missions that it could perform better than the Hermes 450. A few days after receiving
01:26.6
orders to deploy the aircraft, one Kachav was readied for temporary activity. The Hermes 900's
01:34.7
first operational mission took place on July 15, 2014, which was a link in a chain of operations
01:42.2
that eventually led to a fighter jet attack that destroyed terrorist infrastructure.
01:48.2
Maintenance on the aircraft during the operation was done by Elbit personnel
01:52.8
because Israel Air Force ground teams had not yet been qualified to perform maintenance on it
01:59.0
and mission stations had Elbit representatives that guided the operators during combat flights.
02:05.4
Following the end of the operation, the Hermes 900 returned to integration and flight testing
02:11.7
to pass milestones that still needed to be met. The Hermes 900 was officially introduced into
02:18.8
the Israel Air Force's operational lineup on November 11, 2015.
02:30.2
Altitude Long Endurance Unmanned Aircraft System. Qualified for flight in civilian
02:36.2
unsegregated airspace and in adverse weather conditions thanks to its unique and unlimited
02:42.2
de-icing mechanism, the Starliner features over-the-horizon, persistent multi-mission,
02:48.7
multi-sensor capabilities with a class-leading payload carrying capacity.
02:54.4
Hermes Starliner draws on the strong legacy of the Hermes unmanned aircraft system family
03:00.3
and incorporates the most advanced aviation technologies. It is ideal for a wide range
03:06.7
of applications including homeland security, law enforcement, border protection, maritime patrol,
03:14.8
and a range of civilian applications such as agriculture, industrial inspections or post
03:21.0
disaster surveys. Anticipating the rising security need for operating unmanned aircraft
03:27.8
in the same environment with civilian manned aircraft enabled us to achieve this breakthrough.
03:34.0
Elbit Systems commences global marketing of the Hermes 900 Starliner, a powerful and
03:40.3
trend-setting unmanned aircraft system that features adverse weather capabilities and is
03:45.4
fully compliant with NATO's STANAG 4671, qualifying it to be safely integrated into civilian airspace
03:53.7
and fly in the same environment with manned aircraft. Meeting the strict safety and
03:59.5
certification requirements of non-segregated airspace regulations required all the components
04:05.6
of Hermes 900 Starliner to be designed in full compliance with STANAG 4671 and to incorporate
04:13.0
the most advanced aviation technologies. The Royal Thai Navy's order of Hermes 900 maritime
04:22.6
unmanned aerial vehicle is expected to strengthen the Navy's blue water and littoral operations.
04:29.4
The Royal Thai Navy has placed an order for Hermes 900 maritime unmanned aerial vehicles
04:35.9
from Israel. In a statement on the 28th of September, Elbit Systems cited the value of
04:42.6
the contract at 120 million US dollars. The company added that the medium altitude long
04:50.0
range unmanned aerial vehicle will be equipped with a maritime radar, an electro-optic payload,
04:56.6
satellite communication equipment, droppable inflated life rafts, and other capabilities.
05:03.5
The unmanned aerial vehicle is intended to enable the Royal Thai Navy to perform both blue water
05:09.8
and littoral missions, dominate vast swathes of sea and long coastlines, Elbit said. The Hermes
05:17.4
will also be used to communicate with operational vessels and carry out civilian
05:22.3
missions such as maritime search and rescue and identification of suspicious activities
05:27.8
and potential hazards. In a Facebook post on the 21st of September, the Royal Thai Navy said that
05:35.4
Elbit has a four-year period to perform the contract, from fiscal year 2022 to 2025.
05:43.4
The Navy added that the unmanned aerial vehicle will be used to patrol shipping routes and the
05:48.8
country's coastline. The Thai Navy has not said how many unmanned aerial vehicles will be supplied
05:56.0
under the contract. The Hermes 900 ranges in price between 5.83 million US dollars and 6.85
06:05.6
million US dollars per unit. However, the contract also very likely covers significant
06:13.0
ground infrastructure costs. The Navy had not responded to a request for comment at the time
