Israeli Military Seeks Mini UAVs

The Israeli Defense Ministry has selected Elbit Systems to respond to a tender for “wide procurement” of miniature UAVs, Elbit said.
Elbit said its Skylark I-LE was selected by the IDF following an extensive evaluation process. The procurement is valued at “dozens of million” U.S. dollars.
The Skylark I LE is based on the accumulated experience acquired by the Skylark I, in thousands of operational hours performed in Israel, Iraq and Afghanistan. Weighing 6.7 kg, the vehicle is equipped with electro-optic or infrared sensors and operates for three hours over 30 kilometers.
A Skylark I-LE system consists of three UAVs, two daylight cameras, one night camera and a ruggedized laptop ground control station.
