HALE [7 records]

Subject field(s)
  • Military Strategy
  • Missiles and Rockets
CONT

Additionally, countries can deploy countermeasures to increase their missiles’ survivability against laser beams in the boost phase. For example, spinning missiles after take-off can prevent lasers from concentrating enough energy on one location to achieve a kill.... successfully mounting a condensed megawatt laser on a HALE UAV [high-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle] could be the "holy grail" of boost phase missile defense...

The Air Force is now focused on three classes of UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] high altitude long endurance(HALE) like the Global Hawk; medium altitude long endurance(MALE) like the Predator; and tactical UAVs(TUAV) like the Sperwer.

CONT

This tactical UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] provides real-time video imagery, day or night, back to a ground control station. The TUAV is launched from a vehicle and recovery of the aircraft is achieved by cutting the engine, followed by deployment of a built-in parachute and airbags to cushion the landing.

La Force aérienne s'intéresse actuellement à trois classes d'UAV [véhicule aérien sans pilote] : les véhicules à haute altitude et grande autonomie (HALE) comme le Global Hawk; les véhicules à moyenne altitude et grande autonomie (MALE) comme le Predator; et les UAV tactiques (TUAV) comme le Sperwer.

CONT

Cet UAV [véhicule aérien sans pilote] tactique fournit des images vidéo en temps réel, de jour ou de nuit, à une station de commande au sol. Le TUAV est lancé à partir d'un véhicule. Pour le récupérer, on coupe le moteur; cette manœuvre est suivie de l'ouverture d'un parachute intégré et de sacs gonflables qui permettent un atterrissage en douceur.

Record 6 2007-03-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Aircraft
  • Surveillance, Detection and Reconnaissance (Military)
CONT

UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] can be broken down into three major families. The HALE(high altitude long endurance) aircraft are for high altitude observation or for use as telecommunication relays.... Called MALE(medium altitude long endurance), the other type of UAVs are aircraft similar to those used for military missions. The aircraft are very serviceable for testing integration into civilian airspace. Depending on their engines, they fly at speeds that are slower or equal to cargo plane speeds and at comparable altitude but for 24 to 30 hours. The third family includes the smaller, helicopter-type UAVs flying at a low altitude with a ceiling of 1, 500 meters.
