Aerospace Industries' (IAI) innovative M-19HD payload has successfully
completed all airborne test-flights on manned and unmanned platforms.
Local and international customers have shown interest in the novel electro-optical
payload and advanced negotiations are underway, IAI said on Wednesday
February 11 through an official statement. |

The M-19HD is a true High-Definition, compact, multispectral,
multi-sensor, single line-replacement unit (LRU) payload (simultaneously
incorporating up to 7 sensors). The M-19HD enables continuous day/night
surveillance under all weather conditions and provides outstanding acquisition
ranges due to its powerful sensors, high stabilization and unique image
processing capabilities. The M-19HD reduces the operator's workload
and improves situational awareness by virtue of its multi-mode automatic
video tracker (AVT). It also provides accurate geo-location using its
embedded IMU/GPS (Inertial measurement Unit/Global Positioning System).
Shlomo Gold, Acting General Manager of IAI's Tamam Division: "The M-19HD payload is the ideal system for long-endurance ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) missions and area dominance. The M-19HD provides powerful sensors, high stabilization and unique image processing features, together with long range persistent surveillance capabilities. The M-19HD follows IAI's tradition of innovation and offers our customers high performance and a cost-effective solution". The system is designed to be installed onboard advanced
unmanned aerial platforms such as IAI's Heron-1 and Heron TP UAVs, as
well as aerostats and manned platforms, able to perform strategic missions. |
