24 kilos of firepower: Israel's new weapon conquers Washington

Israel Aerospace Industries completed a successful test of the FIRE STORM 250 system, an armed drone capable of staying airborne for 3 hours and carrying 200 rounds.

Israel Aerospace Industries completed a successful test of the FIRE STORM 250 system, a new armed drone capable of staying airborne for up to three hours and carrying 200 rounds. During the test, the system hovered over a simulated battlefield, identified targets using a camera and fired at them in single and semi-automatic fire modes from various ranges and altitudes. The system integrates SIG SAUER's remotely controlled weapon station, considered the lightest airborne weapon station in the world, and the total weight of the weapon assembly stands at about 24 kg. The system is based on a fire-control architecture in which the human operator is in the loop and approves the opening of fire. Meanwhile, at the AUSA exhibition in Washington, Tomer is presenting rocket engines for missiles and rockets, as part of a five-year plan to expand business development in the US. Tomer says the company has recently expanded innovative production lines, against the backdrop of a drastic rise in global demand for missiles and rockets and significant procurement by many countries.
