Hermes 650 Spark

Hermes 650 Spark distributes its mission equipment across two internal payload bays and six external hardpoints. This arrangement supports simultaneous optical, infrared, radar and electronic-intelligence payloads, with onboard processing for real-time analysis of the collected data. Satellite communications extend control beyond the direct radio link.

Automatic pre-flight inspection, taxiing and short-runway takeoff and landing reduce the ground workflow required between missions. Distributed redundant avionics and predictive health monitoring support the aircraft's operating architecture. Elbit specifies up to 24 hours of endurance, with the payload and communications configuration selected for the intelligence mission.
