RAFAEL Introduces Extended Skylite-B Mini UAV

RAFAEL unveiled an enhanced version of the Skylite B mini UAV system, with offering twice the mission endurance (up to three hours), and three times the operating range (up to 35 km). The improved system also includes an encrypted digital communications and data link. Skylite B is competing on an IDF planned procurement of mini UAV systems for the infantry battalions. The IDF is also also interested in a larger mini UAV to be operated as an organic ISR asset at the brigade level. The new version of Skylite will better position its system to accommodate various requirements. The Skylite B system was developed under cooperation between RAFAEL and BlueBird Aero Systems.
