Orbit's Orion Airborne Audio Management Systems for Heron TP
Orbit Communications Systems Ltd., a global provider of airborne communications solutions, announced at the Israel Defense & HLS Expo (ISDEF 2019) that Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) placed a $US1.8 million order for Orbit's Orion airborne audio management systems for integration aboard its next-generation medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) Heron TP unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
Delivery of the systems is expected in 2019 and 2020. Orbit's Orion enables essential communications between the UAV and civil Air Traffic Control (ATC) and other ground stations.

"We believe that our ability to adapt the system and deliver it under an extremely tight schedule were key considerations in MALAT's decision to select our audio management solution," commented Ben Weinberger, CEO of Orbit. "We are proud to provide readily integrated radio gateway solutions to help simplify IAI's development and operation on a system level," he added.
