a fully integrated weapon system capable of
capturing and reporting intelligence data in real-time and day/night
operation over a pre-determined target
zone. Characteristic missions include: - Intelligence gathering.
- Close support
operations. - Target acquisition. - Weapon
guidance. - Battle damage assessment. The Blue Horizon -2 contains the necessary
elements to achieve relevant UAV missions, either as a stand-alone
system or as an integral part of a total intelligence and weapon
delivery system.
Some of the Blue
Horizon-2 main features are:
| - |
Affordably priced while benefiting from an
advanced, light weight, composite material airframe. |
| - |
Can, optionally, be launched from a catapult and retrieved
by parachute deployment. |
| - |
Short ground take off. Equipped with an arresting hook
allowing a short landing. |
| - |
Maximum vehicle performance can be maintained with
payloads up to 37 Kg. |
| - |
Ample electrical power (1800 watts) allows operation of
Electro-optical and other payloads. |
| - |
Short turn-around time. Assembly/disassembly requires a 3
person crew. |
| - |
Transportation and operation of the entire system requires
no more then 2 HMMWV. One for carrying the GCS/GDT and the
other for UAV's and their cases. | Available flight modes:
| - |
External/internal pilot control (with
gyro-stabilization). |
| - |
Knobs control (speed, altitude and heading). |
| - |
Flight to coordinate. |
| - |
Flight program. |
| - |
Flight slaved to camera. |
| - |
Automatic holding pattern (figure 8) with selectable
orientation and dimensions. |
| - |
Emergency mode (in case of prolonged uplink
loss). | Redundancy In order to enhance survivability, increase
safety and ensure mission success, the system is designed for
redundancy as an inherent feature of the integrated UAV
system.
MOBILITY AND
RESPONSIVENESS The System is
designed for high mobility and rapid transportability to another
site and may be moved on the ground by truck, by rail, or air transport (C-130). This facilitates
deployment in remote operational sites in minimum time, thus
responding to the ever-changing battlefield scenarios.
