Heron TP- MALE Drone

Revolutionizing MALE UAV Capabilities

Achieving a comprehensive intelligence picture is a strategic imperative for every military organization and sovereign state. Control over the surprise factor, enemy intentions, readiness across all weather conditions, and long-range, enduring presence were once figments of imagination. The Heron TP system embodies the realization of these once-unattainable goals.

The Heron TP is tailored to fulfill international clients' demands and execute a plethora of strategic missions, including intelligence collection, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance. These operations leverage a range of payloads, maintaining an exceptional level of dependability.

The UAV comes equipped with cutting-edge automatic taxi-takeoff and landing systems (ATOL), and satellite communication (SATCOM) for extended range missions, backed by fully redundant avionics for unassailable operational integrity.

MALE UAV in Global Air Forces

Operational within the Israeli Air Force, the IAI Heron TP carries a distinguished combat pedigree and uncompromising operational superiority. Additionally, it is deployed in air forces such as Germany's, and tracked by other defense forces worldwide. The platform accommodates a wide array of operational requirements with its multi-mission and multi-payload configurations, capable of handling payloads exceeding 1000 kg (about 2204.62 lb).

The Heron TP's key features include its ability to handle multiple missions and payloads simultaneously, and it is able to function above commercial traffic at altitudes of up to 45,000 feet (about 13.72 km). It boasts an all-weather operational capability that guarantees readiness and reliability. The Heron TP meets STANAG 4671 standards, ensuring interoperability among NATO forces and is compatible with NATO standards, which aids in its integration into multinational operations. It offers a spacious internal volume that can accommodate a variety of payloads for diverse mission profiles, and it has a mission endurance that extends beyond 30 hours, allowing for prolonged operational scenarios.
