British aerospace technology company ISS Aerospace has just introduced a new generation unmanned aerial vehicle launch system called HAL10, designed to quickly deploy up to 10 UAVs in a short time.
This is considered a solution to speed up response and expand combat capabilities in the modern environment.
HAL10 has a modular design with a cassette-like structure, consisting of 10 UAV bays arranged in two rows, each row with 5 bays.
This design helps protect the device inside, while allowing multiple drones to be launched continuously in just a few seconds.
With a weight of about 555 kg, the system can be flexibly deployed on many different platforms, from fixed structures, forward bases to mobile vehicles.
HAL10 is also optimized for operating in harsh conditions, from -32 degrees C to 45 degrees C.
Not stopping at the launch function, HAL10 is also designed as a multitasking platform. The system can deploy interceptor vehicles or anti-UAV equipment to detect, track and neutralize airborne threats.
In addition, HAL10 supports precision strike missions, deployment of bait and participation in suppression tactics in complex combat environments. This capability is particularly useful in the context of modern warfare increasingly dependent on UAVs and "herd" tactics.
HAL10 is designed to be compatible with the ISSOS WASP UAV, which is a medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicle using a rocket engine. This device weighs about 2.8 kg and can carry a maximum load of 1 kg.
WASP has an operating range of up to 45 km and a flight time of about 22 minutes, or 30 minutes when unloaded.
This UAV serves many missions such as reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, surveillance and anti-enemy UAVs.
The combination of HAL10 and WASP allows military forces to deploy quickly, expand the scope of air surveillance and carry out concentrated attacks when necessary.
The launch of HAL10 shows that the trend of developing fast and flexible UAV deployment systems is increasing.
Instead of relying on individual equipment, the military today is aiming for platforms that can launch multiple UAVs simultaneously to create an advantage on the battlefield.
In that context, HAL10 is expected to help improve response capabilities, increase reconnaissance efficiency and optimize combat tactics with unmanned aerial vehicles.
