Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) will officially unveil the Heron Mk II Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) at the Singapore Airshow, a new version of the long-established Heron designed to bring complex “multi-layered” capabilities to the battlefield. IAI used the same stage to launch the heavy fuel-powered Super Heron HF in 2014.
