The Israeli aerostats company, RT LTA Systems, presents its products at booth 5L195, in Group SSI pavilion. RT is a world-class designer, developer, and manufacturer of the SkyStar family of aerostats for use in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and communications applications. The company presents the SkyStar 100 mini aerostat in full size, alongside with models of its medium-size aerostat systems: the SkyStar 180.
The SkyStar 100 System is a mini aerostat system for close surveillance and reconnaissance missions. It is a very compact, lightweight, and portable system that can be tied to a pick-up truck or carried by two soldiers in their back-packs. Within 15 minutes, it can be raised in the air for over-the-hill visibility. The system is ideal for tactical forces and can be transported, assembled, launched and operated by two fighters following minimal training. Fully customizable, it can accommodate a variety of payloads, such as cameras, communication devices, etc. Exceptionally cost-effective, the system allows soldiers to focus on a particular range and specific point in the field.
RT also presents a model of its SkyStar 180 - a small size, mobile aerostat designed for tactical mid-range surveillance and public safety, police, and military applications. Based on a towable trailer, the system has a stabilized day/night electro-optical payload suspended from a helium filled aerostat, tethered to a ground system. It operates continuously at wind velocity of up to 40 knots, and can lift a payload of up to 20 kg, providing surveillance coverage from an altitude of up to 1,000 ft. for up to 72 hours, after which it is brought down for a 30-minute helium refill. Only 2 people are required to fully maintain the system.
"We are pleased to present for the first time at MILIPOL,"Maj. (Ret.) Rami Shmueli, Managing Director of RT said. "Skystar systems are operational worldwide in various military and civilian missions in more than 10 countries. I'm certain that presenting in Milipol will enable more European countries to discover the benefits of the SkyStar systems."
