Operational Requirements :

• Current requirements for SOF (special forces) requires intermediate range ISR missions (+ 30 km ) from land and sea .
• Other forces requirements push for rapid deployment of UAV system in the battlefield by helicopters, cargo aircraft ,small craft or light ground vehicles
• Fast reaction UAV systems are needed for day/night operations with limited human resources
• Quick deployment and post deployment are essential to mobile forces
• Persistent Surveillance requires long endurance and high reliability of components (6 hours minimum )
• Easy to operate and compact ground control station is also a need for forces deployed with minimum resources
• Low acoustic signature as well as IR and Radar signatures are mandatory to keep the operative force undetected
• Weight of the overall system ( UAV , Container-Launcher, GCS ) shall be less than 50 kg
• Rugged UAV and rugged system are specific requirements for forces that are operating in harsh environments .
• UAV shall be able to high rate of climb ,sustain several operation modes, have long endurance, be able to sustain very quiet operation mode , be airborne in very short time with minimum preparation
