Elbit Systems has chosen Asian Aerospace for the first sight of the Hermes 180, the latest member of the Israeli company's family of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). 
埃尔比特（Elbit）系统公司已经为“赫尔墨斯”（Hermes）180型无人机选择亚洲航空展用于首次观览，以色列公司的无人机（UAV）系列产品的最新成员。

After a year-long development programme through its Silver Arrow subsidiary, flight-testing of the 180 is due to start next month.
在它的银箭子公司长达一年的发展计划之后，180型的飞行-测试预定在下个月开始。 

Positioned at the high end of tactical, close-range UAVs, its performance figures include a typical ceiling of 15,000ft (4,575m), endurance of more than 10h and an operating radius of more than 100km (55nm). 
高级战术配置，近程无人机（UAV），它的性能指标包括一个典型15,000英尺(4,575 米)升限，超过10小时的续飞能力和超过100公里(55英里)操作半径。

The composite-structure UAV is powered by a 38hp (28kW) UEL rotary engine and uses common components from other members of the Hermes family.
复合材料-结构无人机（UAV）由一台38马力(28千瓦) UEL旋缸发动机提供动力和使用来自“赫尔墨斯”（Hermes）系列产品其它型号的通用零件。

The new model would typically be operated at brigade level, providing surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance capabilities.
新的型号将会典型地在旅层次操作，提供监视、目标捕获和侦察能力。

The new vehicle is the result of careful analysis of the market. “There's a lot of confusion in the army tactical area,” says Haim Kellerman, vice- president, UAV Systems, at the show.
新的无人机是市场仔细分析的结果。无人机（UAV）系统副董事长Haim Kellerman在展览上称，“在军队战术区域有大量的混淆”。

续飞时间
 
“There are a lot of contradictory requirements. Armies want a high-performance payload and long endurance, but they also want a small vehicle that can be launched from the field and be very mobile.”
Kellerman称，“有许多自相矛盾的需求。军队需要一个高性能负载和长航时，但是他们也需要一种能从战场上从一辆小型车辆上发射和非常机动。”

“We found that most armies want day/night performance and laser designators. The smallest possible weight of payload with those sensors was 30-35kg, so we designed the aircraft around that,” says Kellerman. Alternative payloads, such as synthetic aperture radar, can easily be substituted, he adds.
我们发现最大多数的军队需要昼/夜运行和激光指示器。最小可能的负载重量使用一些传感器是30-35公斤，因此我们围绕那些设计了飞行器”。他补充说，可供选择的负载，像合成孔径雷达，能容易地被替换。

Major design aims of the Hermes 180 were mobility and ruggedness, says Kellerman. An entire system – ground station, three or four UAVs and support equipment – fits in a Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules and the unit's team of “less than 10 men” can have the system assembled and ready “in a few hours”.
Kellerman称“赫尔墨斯”（Hermes）180型的主要设计目标是机动性和坚固性。一套整个系统–地面站，三或四架无人机（UAV）和支援设备-可装入一架洛克希德·马丁公司C-130“大力神”（Hercules）运输机内和单位组“少于10人”能“在几个小时之内”装配系统和准备好。

“The key is to make it very simple. You don't have to be a pilot to operate it. You point the sensor at what you want to see and the aircraft automatically heads towards it. It will circle the area automatically at a distance set by the operator.”
“关键要使它非常简单。你不需要一名操作员去操作它。你指向传感器在你想要去了解的地方，飞行器自动地前往它。它将会在一个被操作员设定的间距自动区域盘旋”。
