Design and features of Hermes 900 MALE tactical UAV The maximum take-off and payload weights of the Hermes 180 are 195kg and 32kg respectively, while the maximum speed and endurance are 105km/h and 10 hours. The variant is powered by a 38hp rotary UEL engine. The Hermes 180 variant differs from the Hermes 900 in take-off and payload weights, endurance, maximum speed, and engine. It is a small-range UAV used for ISTAR missions. It is an advanced version of the Hermes 450 UAV.
The Hermes 450B is an all-weather, ruggedised structure UAV. The variant was selected as the baseline for the UK Watchkeeper. Hermes 450 has completed more than 300,000 flight hours. The design and features of the Hermes 450 variant, are the same as those of the Hermes 900 UAV. The Hermes 450 UAV is the Israeli Defence Force’s primary UAV. Development of the Hermes 1500 was halted after problems with exports caused by the missile technology control regime that restricts the sale of some missiles and unmanned aircraft. For the Hermes 1500 UAV, these are 1,750kg and 400kg respectively. Hermes 1500 differs from Hermes 900 in maximum take-off weight, endurance, and payload weight. Manufactured by Elbit Systems, the Hermes 1500 is a highly reliable twin-engine UAV equipped with a range of payloads. Hermes 1500, Hermes 450, and Hermes 180 are three variants of the Hermes UAV series. Inaugurated in December 2018, the 50,000ft² (4,645.15m²) state-of-the-art facility was the first Hermes 900 UAV manufacturing facility outside Israel. It established the Adani Elbit Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Complex in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, in collaboration with Alpha Design Technologies and Elbit Systems. Adani Aero Defence Systems, a subsidiary of Indian firm Adani Enterprises, signed a statement of intent with Alpha Design Technologies and Elbit Systems’ ISTAR division in March 2016 to explore opportunities in the UAS space.
