@phmu33: HERMES 900 The Philippine Air Force (PAF) operates the Israeli-made Hermes 900 drone for surveillance and maritime patrol missions. A PAF Hermes 900 drone crashed during a functional check flight in Cagayan de Oro in May 2022. The drone, which can stay airborne for up to 36 hours, was being tested for functionality before it lost contact and crash-landed in a wooded area. No injuries or property damage were reported, and the PAF is investigating the cause of the crash. The Hermes 900 is a medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) known for its surveillance capabilities and can be used for ground support and maritime patrol. The PAF received full delivery of three Hermes 900 systems in August 2020, with each system including three UAVs, a ground control system, and support equipment. The drone can reach a service ceiling of 30,000 feet and has an endurance of up to 36 hours, according to the PAF. The Hermes 900 can be deployed for maritime search and rescue, potentially aiding ships in distress. The PAF's 303rd Aerial Reconnaissance Group of the 300th Air Intelligence and Security Wing operates the Hermes 900 drones. #CapCut #hermes900 #philippines #esrael #fypage #fyp #fypシ #fyp
