So far, 12 countries have selected the Hermes 900 UAS.

Elbit Systems Aerospace general manager Yoram Shmuely said: “We are proud to be an integral part of the FAB UAS fleet’s growth roadmap.

“We are pleased by the growing customer base of the Hermes family of UAS users around the globe.”

The Hermes 900 is a tactical medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS principally designed to allow the Israeli Defence Force to perform intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) operations.

In September 2015, Elbit won a contract from an undisclosed Latin American customer to deliver intelligence integrated systems for homeland security applications.
