Israeli-based aerostat company RT LTA Systems Ltd. will present its SkyStar aerostat family at DSEI in London. The SkyStar aerostat systems are ideal for defense, security, border control and HLS missions, as they offer availability of over 85% in any given area, and provide persistent surveillance and communication over long periods of time at a very minimal cost. In Israel, the SkyStar aerostats are deployed at the Gaza border, as part of the war against terrorism.

 

RT's Skystar™ family of aerostats includes the SkyStar 110, SkyStar 120, SkyStar 180, and SkyStar 330. The SkyStar Aerostat systems are deployed by many different forces around the world for border protection. 

 

SkyStar is a self-contained, versatile, easily transportable, cost-effective tactical system comprised of a ground control station, a ground system module, a tether, a lighter-than-air platform, a stabilized payload platform, and a sensor suite. The SkyStar systems already accomplished more than 1.5 million operational hours worldwide and are currently operational in various military and civilian missions in many different countries. 

 

Rami Shmueli, RT's CEO: "Offering availability of over 85% in any given area, RT's SkyStar aerostats provide a complete set of solutions for defense, HLS, border control, public safety and camp protection. Using an aerostat resembles building a tower of 1,500 ft. in only 20 minutes, and at a minimal cost per day. No other defense solution, manned or unmanned, is as cost-effective as aerostats, and that is what makes them an ideal mean for securing and protecting wide and long areas, such as borders."
