Steadicopter has introduced the Golden Eagle Heavy Strike, an unmanned helicopter equipped with Spike missiles to deliver improved precision strike capabilities.

Strengthened through a strategic partnership with Raphael Advanced Defense Systems, the unmanned helicopter reduces human risk by eliminating unnecessary maneuvers, allowing for rapid deployment from a remote location, and offering real-time situational awareness to enhance decision-making and safety.

Convoy Detection & Neutralization

In a joint operation, a formation of Golden Eagle HS helicopters can launch towards enemy positions and cover vast distances. Within a remote command center, the commander can utilize real-time data to make informed decisions and oversee the mission.

Outfitted with advanced optical sensors, the Golden Eagles can land near enemy lines undetected, supplying continuous visual intelligence. When an enemy armored vehicle convoy is advancing, the Golden Eagle’s optical sensors detect the convoy’s movements and relay the information to the operator’s portable ground control station.

The Golden Eagles can then take flight, prepared to engage upon command. When the Spike operator gives the signal, the Golden Eagles deploy their missiles. The Spike missiles strike their targets with high precision, immobilizing the convoy and halting the enemy’s progress while ensuring minimal collateral damage.

Border Defense

The Golden Eagle HS is poised to enhance homeland security, particularly in border defense. When outpost units identify threats approaching the border from various points, they can deploy the Golden Eagles to intercept and confront the enemy.

Operators receive real-time surveillance from the Golden Eagles, allowing them to manage deployment effectively by directing them to identified breach points. The operators can determine how many Golden Eagles to send to each location, ensuring optimal coverage and response.

As the Golden Eagles arrive at their optimal strike range, they launch the Spike missiles with high-accuracy, neutralizing threats and securing the border. Following the strike, the Golden Eagles conduct battle damage assessments to confirm mission success to the commanders in the control room.

Enhanced with Raphael’s Spike missiles, the Golden Eagle HS represents a state-of-the-art solution for precision, security, and strategic advantage on the contemporary battlefield.
