5 Advanced Solutions Unveiled at the DSEI London Exhibition

As we enter the final quarter of 2023, Elbit Systems’ experts embarked on a journey to London to showcase their latest innovations at the esteemed DSEI (Defense and Security Equipment International) exhibition.

While Elbit Systems boasts an extensive range of products, some exceptional solutions took center stage at this event. Here, we highlight five creations that captured the attention of the global security and defense community.

Skylark™ Family: Reconnaissance & Strike Capabilities

Without a doubt, the Skylark™ Family has transformed drone warfare and intelligence gathering on contemporary battlefields. The unveiling of the new VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) model at DSEI showcased the latest advancements in mini UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) platform capabilities. The new SkyLark™ I-eVTOL is a cutting-edge aerial platform designed for versatile and efficient operations. Featuring electric motors for vertical takeoff and landing, it eliminates the need for traditional launchers and parachutes, making it ideal for deployment from marine facilities and ships. Its rapid deployment capability, whether man-packed or vehicle-based, enables setup in just 15 minutes, ensuring swift response times.

With a minimal crew requirement of only two operators, the SkyLark I-eVTOL boasts an impressive long-range operation thanks to a data link supporting up to 40 kilometers of line-of-sight communication. Furthermore, its covert capabilities, marked by very low acoustic and visual signatures, provide real-time surveillance, making it an invaluable “eye in the sky” for discreet missions.

Empowering airborne intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance in diverse operational settings (land, sea, and urban), this fully autonomous multi-sensor drone marks a paradigm shift. Its capabilities experience a substantial boost when operating alongside other Skylark™ products, giving birth to the ‘FAST Capsule.’ This innovative Find and Strike solution is forged through the fusion of the Skylark™ III and the loitering munition Skystriker platform. The FAST Capsule represents the pinnacle of applications for mini-tactical intelligence and offensive missions.
