Ethiopian Army purchases first Horizon powered fuel cell UAVs ¨C from Bluebird AeroSystems April, 2011
Israeli manufacturer BlueBird has won a contract to supply unmanned air vehicles to the Ethiopian army. The company declines to reveal details about the order, but sources say it includes upgraded versions of the Boomerang and SpyLite systems, plus the establishment of local maintenance facilities and technology transfer.
The Exciting Potential of Fuel Cell-Powered UAVs January, 2011
The potential benefits afforded by fuel cell technologies are currently being explored across an array of military applications within the U.S. Department of Defense and other defense agencies around the world. At Pike Research, we're currently tracking developments across many applications including in-the-field battery charging, personal electronics, portable power generation, auxiliary power units, robotic exoskeletons, and medical EVAC support.
Horizon.s AEROPAK fuel cell proves itself on Skylark I-LE UAS test flight December, 2010
The latest test of Horizon Energy System's AEROPAK fuel cell power system has seen it fitted aboard an Elbit Systems Skylark I-LE UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) and put through its paces. Although the AEROPAK has been put to the test in other UAS aircraft, the official test flight recently carried out in Israel marked the first time a fully operational system using the AEROPAK - including take-off and recovery with an operational payload integrated onboard - has been tested.
Horizon Fuel Cell Tested on Elbit Systems' Skylark I-LE Mini UAV December, 2010
Elbit Systems has tested the Aeropak fuel cell system with a Skylark I-LE mini-UAV. The suitability of the fuel cell as a power supply for UAVs was evaluated in the recent test was conducted in Israel, using an operationally configured system carrying full mission payload (comprising of a stabilized EO payload, avionics and communications datalink). According to Singapore based Horizon, the fuel-cell powered Skylark I-LE is expected to double the current endurance (around 3 hours), delivering 900Wh net usable energy per liter of fuel.
