The range of unmanned systems that will be displayed in the upcoming AUS&R event is unprecedented.

Displaying a wide range of systems, from 12 ton autonomous boats, and 16 meter wingspan Heron-I class UAS shown in flight, to tethered hovercrafts and miniature man-portable systems weighing only few kilograms performing a live mission for the first time in public, AUS&R 2013 is the leading International Event of Unmanned Systems technologies originating in Israel.

The largest Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) approved for participation so far, is the Heron I Medium Altitude, Long Endurance (MALE) multi-mission drone from IAI, carrying various electronic payloads such as radar and EO systems. The Heron I weighs over one ton, and its wingspan measures 16.60 meters.

The Orbiter 3 Small UAS from Aeronautics, will represent the ‘Small UAS’ range. It will be the first public flight demonstration of this type. The Orbiter 3 will demonstrate reconnaissance missions carrying a multi-sensor EO payload.

Another system to be displayed in live operation for the first time, is the Hovermast tethered platform from SkySapience, deployed from a vehicular platform. The Spider Micro-UAS developed by Innocon is also expected to make its first live public demonstration debut here.

Bluebird Aero Systems will demonstrate two systems – the Spylite and the MicroB, a manpack tactical UAS system and Hero -40 system made by UVISION . The German Microdrones MD4-1000 VTOL UAS will also be displayed.

A very unique system on static display will be the AIRMULE ducted fan unmanned system developed by Urban Aero.

G-NIUS and Amstaff On Guard have both confirmed the participation of Unmanned Ground Vehicles. G-NIUS will showcase the Guardium II unmanned patrol system and TAGS robotic combat platform demonstrator, while the Amstaff 6 and Amstaff 8 will be shown configured for security and first response applications.

More UAS, UGVs and USVs of Israeli and International origin will also be displayed in action. Additionally, many more systems will be shown on the static display.

The First International Autonomous Unmanned Systems & Robotics (AUSR 2013) convention will take place in Rishon LeZion, south of Tel Aviv on November 26, 2013. The event will include a professional conference, exhibition and live demonstration. Hundreds of delegates have already confirmed their participation at the event.
