VSR700 is equipped with advanced sensors, including electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) cameras, radar and electronic support measures. These sensors enable the VSR700 to perform a variety of missions such as maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue operations. Data collected by the VSR700 can be transmitted in real time to command and control centers, helping to improve situational awareness, thereby leading to accurate decision making.
The ability to take off and land automatically is another important feature of this new unmanned helicopter model. This feature reduces the crew’s workload and ensures safe operations, even in unfavorable sea conditions. In addition, thanks to the incorporation of a flight control system, the VSR700 can perform complex tasks without too much human intervention.
* Elbit Systems launches new armored command vehicle Rhino
Elbit Systems, an Israeli defense technology company, has just launched Rhino, a new armored command vehicle designed to replace traditional command posts. With command and control capabilities, Rhino was developed to support joint combat scenarios at many different command levels, from battlefield command to higher levels.
Unlike traditional command stations, Rhino is a completely self-contained and independent platform, equipped with the C4I command automation system, including computers and comprehensive networking solutions, high-capacity satellite communications (SATCOM) and tactical links for continuous video, voice, and data communications between units on the battlefield and higher command levels. Rhino can carry up to 10 people, including 2 commanders and 4 technicians.
