April 18, 2019- Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is upgrading its capabilities for the maritime arena with anti-submarine capabilities in its marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The new capabilities respond to the need arising from the discontinuation of the "Shahaf" manned Sea Scan maritime jet by the Israeli Navy and the growing use of IAI Heron UAVs for maritime patrol missions, which created a need in anti-submarine capabilities launched directly from the UAV. The maritime UAV, which carries a range of dedicated payloads, now has two new payloads for submarine detection: the Sonobuoy (acoustic detector) and the MAD (Magnetic Detector).
