Israeli Air Force Develops Performance Tracking System for Heron and Hermes UAVs
An Israeli Air Force (IAF) developed system will allow better tracking of the performances of UAVs of the "Heron 1" and "Hermes 450" models. "We will be able to understand the malfunctions better and maybe even prevent them from happening", an IAF release said. A new tracking system for "Heron 1" and "Hermes 450" UAV models is entering final developing stages. The advanced system is capable of extracting a broad range of data such as flight speed and altitude, weather conditions, flight path, methods of operation and mission cancellation. The main new feature of the system is its ability to analyze data gathered from a series of flights, rather than individual flights. The massive amount of data will allow the IAF a high standard tracking of the UAVs' activity and maintenance condition. By deciphering a series of flights, the system can point out processes and causes affecting the performances of the vehicles. "The system will allow us to examine malfunctions and safety violations based on data collected over time and not of a specific event", says Captain Chen Chasdai from the flight control department, leader of the project.
"We will be able to understand the malfunctions better and maybe even prevent them from happening".

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and India's Alpha Design Technologies have signed a teaming agreement for the production and marketing of mini- Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in India to accommodate the operational needs of Indian customers. Potential customers in India include security agencies and all defense organizations including police forces, coastguard and Border Security Forces (BSF). According to Shaul Shahar, IAI VP and General Manager of the Military Aircraft Group, the agreement with Alpha follows India's policy for 'Buy and make India'. "The important vision of 'Make in India' is being made fully effective by this joint effort. Alpha will meet the huge market in India and will examine further, later exports by Alpha, through IAI to various countries". Col. H. S. Shankar, Chairman & Managing Director, Alpha Design Technologies Private Limited, added. The agreement covers local production of IAI's Bird-Eye 400 and Bird-Eye 650 mini UAS as well as other mini-unmanned aerial systems. Production of the systems will take place in India, while the marketing will be a joint effort of the two companies. Alpha Alpha will also provide integration of the systems in India, with IAI's support.
