JERUSALEM, 5 April, 2021 (TON): On Sunday, the Israeli air force received a new intelligence aircraft provided with unprecedented reconnaissance capabilities, said the Defense Ministry.

According to the statement by the ministry, the so-called "Oron" airplane landed on Sunday in the Nevatim airbase in southern Israel after more than nine years of developments by the Defense Ministry, the Israeli Air Force, the Intelligence Directorate, the Israeli Navy, and the Israel Aerospace Industries.

The "Oron" is based on the Gulfstream G550, a business jet manufactured by the U.S.-based General Dynamics Company.

The "Oron" is equipped with an advanced radar system and data processing algorithms based on advanced data science and artificial intelligence capabilities.

The statement read, “These systems would enable the military to generate an unprecedented depth and scope of intelligence in real-time, in any weather or visibility conditions, during routine operations and conflict.”

Moreover, IDF (Israel Defense Forces) affirmed that the craft’s artificial intelligence technology would enable automated and efficient data processing, thus will enhance operational activities.
