The HAROP UAV enables fast and accurate tactical decision making by giving ship captains the ability to gather intelligence, assess targets and strike independently. The weapon system is equipped with daytime cameras and is able to detect, identify and lock onto static and moving targets with "maximum accuracy".
HAROP's new marine capabilities provide an operational response for a wide range of military vessels, from patrol vessels to frigates. The technological enhancements of the naval version of the Harop include a launcher with a new configuration and updates of the communication link.
HAROP is a suicide drone that can be launched from a variety of platforms and is equipped with tactical UAV capabilities: EO FLIR / CCD color finder with 360 degree hemispherical coverage.
As seen in the recent Nagorno-Karabakh War, the system searches, detects, attacks and strikes mobile targets, land or sea, with accuracy at long distances.
A HAROP unit consists of launchers and a Mission Control Shelter (MCS) which allows missile control with a "Man in the Loop" operation and real-time engagement or attack abort capabilities to avoid collateral damage. HAROP can be applied to a variety of operational scenarios, including low and high intensity conflicts, urban wars and counter-terrorism operations.
The sale of the land-based HAROP to an Asian country (currently undeclared) is one of the three main contracts signed by the company. The combined contracts are worth $ 100 million. The remaining contracts concern the sale of the ROTEM multipurpose system.
ROTEM is the first "Tactical Loitering Munition" system capable of performing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL). This combat-proven system is used by several nations around the world. The ROTEM Aerial Vehicle (AV) is a tactical ammunition based on a lightweight multi-rotor platform that offers capabilities against enemy systems in complex environments. This lightweight and compact AV can be assembled in seconds and operated by a single operator. The AV is capable of lethal precision attacks on fixed and moving targets with interrupt capability and is recoverable.
ROTEM is a platform with a range of 10 km. It can perform squad-level Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, attack missions with minimal planning and operational focus by the operator. The system, which can be carried in a backpack, consists of a tactical kit of two AVs with all the peripherals to allow an operational unit to use it organically as part of their standard equipment. The ability to hover allows the VTOL platform to see targets and engage them in seconds.
