Israel’s largest drone, the Heron TP, explained

Israel, the world's largest exporter of military drones, uses unmanned aerial vehicles like the Heron TP for surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance, as well as for combat capacities, such as precision rocket attacks on speeding cars in remote locales, according to a report in Vice magazine.

The Heron TP has a wingspan equal to that of a Boeing 737, making it the largest drone in service with the Israel Defence Forces.

It flies at an altitude of 45,000 feet, has a range of 4,600 miles and an endurance of 70 hours. Missiles can be attached to hardpoints on its wings. Sensors on its wingtips provide an all-seeing eye to select targets anywhere in Gaza.

The drone is controlled by a commander and an operator, each using a computer screen and a control stick to direct the aircraft's sensors, according to a report by the Telegraph

By focusing the sensor on a target, the aircraft will automatically position itself to track the vehicle.

Sixty five percent of Israel's military air operations are conducted by drones. According to an experienced Israeli drone commander who spoke with the Telegraph on the condition that he not be identified, drones represent the future of warfare.

By 2035, according to a report by Vice, drones will comprise 95 percent of Israel’s airborne fighting force.
