Staedeleter, a pioneering leader in the Rotary Unmanned Aerial Systems (RUAS) sector, announces the unveiling of the Golden Eagle HS (Heavy Strike) rotary unmanned aerial system, developed in collaboration with Rafael’s Advanced Defense Systems division. The latest collaboration enhances the Golden Eagle household’s capabilities by introducing a novel assault functionality module, thereby broadening the system’s operational scope and further solidifying its proven effectiveness.
The Golden Eagle HS leverages Rafael’s renowned Spike missiles to deliver precise and devastating heavy strike capabilities, supporting tactical operations, shoot-across-their-shoulder air defense missions, as well as border security, perimeter protection, city warfare, and open-space battlespace dominance, thereby ensuring strategic deterrence.
The Golden Eagle HS delivers swift and precise strike capabilities from a safe distance against emerging high-priority targets, even in complex and crowded operational settings. By exploiting their agility and operational flexibility, ground forces can operate from sheltered, standoff positions around the clock, engaging both stationary and moving targets with equal effectiveness. When integrated onto a tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (RUAV), the potent spike missile enables more adaptable, extended-range, low-altitude attack profiles, thereby amplifying firepower efficacy while minimizing exposure to infantry, Marine Corps, special forces, and other tactical ground units.
Equipped with advanced Spike missiles renowned for their precise guidance systems, autonomous targeting capabilities, and potent high-explosive warheads, the Golden Eagle HS boasts an increased level of lethality within its compact,
Developed to facilitate seamless collaboration across vast domains, this cutting-edge platform amplifies operational effectiveness, flexibility, and tactical deployment capabilities for diverse attack strategies. The Golden Eagle’s hybrid systems feature RUAVs operating in tandem, each equipped with a personalized missile payload, ensuring seamless mission progression despite potential losses within the formation. This strategy optimizes operational efficiency by assigning multiple objectives and maintaining strike capabilities across various goals. With a complete takeoff weight of approximately fifty kilograms, the Golden Eagle HS can be configured to carry Rafael Spike missiles, as well as SR and LR2 variants for respective spreads of 2.5 kilometers and 5.5 kilometers, thereby enabling real-time mission flexibility and rapid sensor-to-shooter response capabilities at significantly extended operational radii.
The system’s advanced sensor suite, comprising a high-definition day-night electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) payload and a goal tracker, when optionally integrated with the AI-driven expertise of SightX, enables seamless goal acquisition.
The ability to achieve acquisition, monitoring, and classification even in hostile climatic conditions and complex terrain.
The advanced surveillance system enables unique identification of objects, ensuring persistent tracking despite temporary obstacles or visual blind spots within its field of view, and autonomously differentiates between diverse targets – moving or stationary, human- or vehicle-based. Real-time situational awareness enables ground-level teams to act swiftly on accurate intelligence, fostering informed decisions and rapid responses.
