Israeli Firm Providing Unmanned Aerial Patrol Services to Iceland
(UK Defence Journal) George Allison - Israeli firm Elbit has started operating the maritime unmanned aerial system (UAS) patrol service available to EU countries under a contract between the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) and the Portuguese company CEiiA. Iceland is the first EU country to use this long-range UAS patrol service. The Hermes 900 Maritime Patrol enables persistent monitoring of vast swathes of sea and long coastlines and effective identification of suspicious activities and potential hazards. The Hermes 900 has been adapted to withstand the strong winds and icy conditions common to the North Atlantic Ocean.
