August 12, 2024 – Aeronautics Ltd., a global leader in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for defense and HLS markets, announces a significant contract with a European NATO member country to supply advanced Orbiter 3 UAS systems.
This important contract includes the Aeronautics’ new generation multi-platform system to a NATO customer, increasing significantly the customers’ existing fleet. The Orbiter 3 is a small tactical unmanned aerial system, considered one of the leading systems in its class worldwide. It provides superior performance for both defense and HLS applications, making it an essential asset for modern military operations.
The Orbiter 3 stands out with its advanced ISTAR capabilities, runway-independent operation, long endurance, and ability to carry various types of payloads. Its advanced image processing, small logistical footprint, and navigation capabilities in GPS-denied environments further enhance its operational flexibility. The system’s ability to withstand harsh weather conditions ensures reliable performance across diverse scenarios.
The Orbiter 3 offers low life-cycle costs compared to similar systems, a lightweight design and extended endurance, making it a leading choice for many countries seeking to enhance their operational capabilities. The system’s combat-proven reliability, backed by thousands of flight hours, ensures it meets the rigorous demands of military operations. Its multi-platform compatibility allows for communal use of the same launching station and communication across various systems, facilitating seamless integration and expansion.
Dan Slasky, CEO of Aeronautics, stated, “This contract marks another important milestone with a long-standing customer.” He added, “The scalability of our system allows our partners to incrementally expand their capabilities over time, using the same proven infrastructure. This approach not only reduces costs and enables the most cutting-edge systems, but also streamlines operations for our customers.”
