The Israeli defense company Elbit Systems has signed a $120 million contract to supply Hermes 900 drones to an international client whose identity has not been disclosed. The agreement does not specify the number of unmanned aircraft to be delivered.

The Hermes 900 is a medium-altitude tactical drone, recognized for its extended endurance and capability to perform long-range missions such as maritime surveillance. The equipment can be configured with different payloads, including radars and electro-optical sensors, ensuring performance even in complex scenarios.

Currently, the model is used by several countries, including Israel, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, and Switzerland. Recently, the Swiss Armed Forces decided to continue acquiring these drones despite reported delays and failures, but reduced the program’s requirements to enable their incorporation.
