About
About Elbit Systems Ltd.
Elbit Systems delivers complete uncrewed-aircraft systems from portable reconnaissance drones to medium-altitude long-endurance aircraft. Skylark platforms provide tactical intelligence for smaller field units, while Hermes 450 and Hermes 900 carry larger electro-optical, radar, signals-intelligence and communications payloads for persistent land or maritime coverage. SkyStriker and LANIUS extend the portfolio into loitering and soldier-level strike systems.
The company develops airframes, engines, data links, payloads, universal ground-control stations, training simulators and logistics support as an integrated operating package. Hermes variants can share crews, communications and ground infrastructure, allowing mixed fleets to be managed through common mission systems. Maritime configurations connect aircraft and live sensor feeds with shore stations and vessels for coastal patrol, search and rescue and offshore security. Elbit reports UAS customers in more than 50 countries, with hundreds of Hermes aircraft ordered across five continents.
