Aeronautics Ltd. - a world leader in design, development, and manufacturing of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for the global defense and HLS markets, introduces the Orbiter 2LM (Loitering Munition), the latest addition to Aeronautics' portfolio of combat proven loitering munitions systems. It offers enhanced capabilities including long endurance, persistent surveillance, optimal precision with low collateral damage making it ideal for a diverse number of missions.

The Orbiter 2LM offersan optimalsolution, combining both the functionality of the loitering munition together with ISR capabilities. With an extended endurance of two hours, the system provides high mission flexibility for success in uncertain operational scenarios, particularly those characterized by targets with short time windows.

The system is fully operational in GPS-denied areas and uses advanced communication - immune to interference and encrypted for secure data transmission. The system supports full connectivity to external C4I systems.

The Orbiter 2 STS (Sensor-to-Shooter) Mission systemis based on two combat-proven, fixed-wing, electric UAVs –the Orbiter 2 ISR and the Orbiter 2 LM. Both systems share a common platform, communication data link, control station and operational software.

The Sensor-to-Shooter Mission systemenablesenhanced mission versatility by facilitating intelligence gathering, precise target pinpointing, and BDA (Battle Damage Assessment) viathe Orbiter 2 ISR, while enabling rapid target engagement with the Orbiter 2LM.

The STS mission systemoffers superior performance, fast sensor-shooter mission cycle, and operational flexibility, all within a small logistics footprint.Moreover, the system enablesefficient flight training capabilities by leveraging the Orbiter 2 ISR for diverse operational scenarios.Both Orbiter 2LM and Orbiter ISR have high resolution day and IR electro optical payloads, onboard Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) and Video Motion Detection (VMD), for increased operational capabilities.
