The Israeli defense industry has traditionally been dominated by three major companies, but a new young company is making strides in developing a unique aircraft. Atis Aviation, established about two and a half years ago, is working on the ROC system, a UAV designed for both civil and military applications. This UAV has a maximum take-off weight of 150 kg and is capable of vertical take-off and landing. It can carry up to 40 kg of payload and remain airborne for over 20 hours. The system is designed to operate in GPS-denied environments and is suitable for various sectors, including paramilitary applications like firefighting.
