BAE Systems HERTI - Future Developments

Future Developments

High altitude, long endurance version of HERTI
A proposed HALE version of HERTI should have a bigger wing span to achieve the higher endurance and the higher altitudes needed for such a UAV.
Catapult launched version of HERTI
Tests have been carried out in 2005 in Finland to see if the HERTI could be catapult launched. The Finnish company Robonic has developed a "dummy mass" to simulate a HERTI launch. A real launch has, as of July 2006 not been carried out.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or developments:

    “Although I’m trying very hard
    To sound unlike a birthday card,
    That’s all this is: so you may find it
    Full of all that lies behind it
    Admiration; friendship too;
    And hope that in the future you
    Reap ever richer revenue.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
    —C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
