An Israeli Elbit Systems Hermes 900 Kochav (Star) was spotted flying over an undisclosed Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle spotted flying over PH airspace in Luzon, Pinoy Aviators said in a post in its Facebook page July 15.

Hermes 900 is Elbit’s next-generation multi-role medium altitude long endurance (MALE) unmanned aerial system (UAS). It is capable of performing missions for area dominance and persistent intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance also known as ISTAR, Elbit said.

“Hermes 900 can also be utilized for ground support and maritime patrol missions, as well as for integrated multi-platform, multi-sensor operations,” Elbit said.

Elbit is actively participating in Philippine military’s modernization. It already delivered 24 upgraded armored personnel carriers and Elbit-Soltam M-71 155mm/39CAL Towed howitzers to the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Department of National Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana previously said that Second Horizon of the military’s Modernization Program will include fast crafts, drones and more helicopters.

“We have no confirmation yet from the Department of National Defense if the Philippines will close the deal for the Elbit Systems Hermes 900 MALE UAV,” Pinoy Aviators said.

  2. I think a hermes 450 is better and cheaper. A bit step to far to start with a MALE uav like 900. There will be gaps on the lower side. I think 450 is better for counter insurgency still come to think of it does the PAF have an airbase in mindano province? Is it in a good location such that it works. Otherwise the 900 will be the reason since it will be far and long.

    2. The a hermes 450 UAV would be better. It can fly for 20hrs that alone is long. A 900 can fly 30hrs i think thats overtime lol. Would be expensive operating a hermes 900 as well.
