When installed on the Heron 1 UAV, the coverage area extends over 15 square kilometers to detect most large objects. Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI) (TASE: ARSP.B1) for WASP, a new generation surveillance system that provides a large-scale, high-resolution status awareness image of targets in motion day and night. System EO and IR sensors, AI algorithms, and adaptive rule drivers capture large areas at a high revisit rate, to track, identify and alert the system operator to moving targets that correlate with mission requirements and objectives. Compact, lightweight and requiring low energy consumption, WASP is compatible with a wide range of aerial platforms such as tactical drones, drones, fixed-wing and rotary wing aircraft or tethered observation balloons. WASP coverage area and resolution change according to platform and operating altitude. Mounted on a tactical drone such as the BirdEye 650D, WASP covers 2 square kilometers with perfect accuracy to detect all kinds of moving targets. When installed on the Heron 1 UAV, the coverage area expands more than 15 square kilometers to reveal most vehicle-size objects and the like. Moshe Levy, Director General of IAI EVP and General Manager of the Military Aircraft Group, said, “The development of the WASP embodies IAI’s new strategy for developing ISR systems, intelligence and information fusion capabilities. By providing a highly detailed intelligence picture over a wide area, WASP provides an excellent two-layer situational awareness “Which includes visual and intelligence information. As a compact and light system, it can be installed on a range of platforms to provide truly robust intelligence capabilities at the tactical level.” Posted by Globes, Israel business news – en.globes.co.il – February 8, 2021 © Copyright Globes Publisher Itonut (1983) Ltd. 2021 WASP on Heron UAV Credit: IAI
