The German Luftwaffe has announced that its Israeli-made HERON-TP UAVs, manufactured by the Israel Aerospace Industries, are ready and authorized for operational use within Germany's borders, and flights will commence in mid-May.
Jane's reports that the Air Force announcement confirms that the airworthiness certificate was issued by the Federal Aviation Office in Kiel on May 2nd, and that the operational approval for the UAVs is valid globally. Flights will begin in May at the Luftwaffe base in Jagel in northern Germany.
At the end of 2022, the Israeli-made UAVs received approval from the German Military Aviation Authority, and since then have been operated by German teams from a base in Israel.
The Heron TP UAV is intended in Germany to fill an interim role between the operation of the previous Heron-1 system and the future European medium-range UAV Airbus’ Eurodrone.
