Smart Drones Services Ltd is a technology services company, certified by the Israeli civil aviation authority, leading BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) development process for challenging detection, interception, and missile defence engagement.
According to Dudi Ohayon, COO of the company, Smart Drones provides unique tailor-made UAV end-to-end solutions, such as loitering munition, kamikaze drones, etc.
“We work according to the clients’ detailed demands to offer the best solution used to test the capabilities of different air defence systems.”
One of the targets used in recent tests is the Predator, which is 3.2m long, has a max speed of 65Mps, and a max range of 40km.
Another frequently used target depicting a jet-powered UAV is the RS-1, which is 2 m long, has a max speed of 100 Mps, and a range of 80km.
Ohayon revealed that the new addition to the list of aerial targets is the Delta-wing RS2, which is a very exact copy of the Iranian Shahed 136, used by the Russians in Ukraine and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The COO of the Israeli company said that the dramatic increase in the use of drones around the world created a very high demand to develop defensive systems and to test them in real combat scenarios. “We supply the ultimate targets that are crucial for the success of the aerial defence systems.”
