Tel Aviv, Israel - The
Israeli-based aerostat company RT LTA Systems Ltd. introduces a new member of
the SkyStar aerostat family: SkyStar 120. The new micro-tactical aerostat system
was recently demonstrated to the Israeli Defence Forces, and is ready for operational use.
Based on the platform
of the Skystar 110, SkyStar 120 is a micro-tactical aerostat systemdesigned to provide
commanders in the field with real-time
reconnaissance capability even when operating in rough terrain. The SkyStar 120 Ground Control Station is mounted on an ATV (All-Terrain
Vehicle) that can drive through most kinds of terrain allowing the operating
force to keep moving and maneuvering with the aerostat on the ATV alongside
them either filled with Helium and ready to be launched or already flying in
the air.
This allows the
operating force to better fit the observation and communication lines in real
time according to field conditions. Compact and robust, the SkyStar 120 is operational under extreme weather conditions
and offers surveillance range of up to 1,500 feet.
"We are happy to
introduce the latest member of the SkyStar aerostat family, SkyStar 120, a
micro-tactical aerostat
system that is mounted on an ATV. SkyStar 120 is ideal for forces operating in rough terrain, as
it allows maximum flexibility for the operating force.
We are unveiling the SkyStar 120 today after an
extensive period of research and development, and after it were presented to
the IDF and received great feedback. Compact but robust, and easily
transportable, SkyStar 120 is an ideal solution for several of military and
security forces worldwide and is ready for operational use" said Rami
Shmueli, RT's CEO.
"RT is investing a
lot of time and resources in R&D as we are committed to keep developing
advanced solutions that are ideal for the needs of our clients, as well as for the constantly changing and evolving
characteristics of the field."
