Iran Introduces High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) Drone “Shaed-147”
With a wingspan reaching 26 meters, this high-capacity drone is equipped with various state-of-the-art technologies, including Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), enabling it to execute surveillance and monitoring missions. The Shaed-147 is powered by a turboprop engine.
(DEFENCE SECURITY ASIA) — The Iranian defense industry has unveiled an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) known as “Shaed-147,” categorized as a High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) drone, capable of flying at altitudes of up to 60,000 feet and remaining in the airspace for an extended period.
The introduction of the Shaed-147 drone underscores Iran’s commitment and its defense industry’s efforts in developing high-capability unmanned aircraft.
With a wingspan reaching 26 meters, this high-capacity drone is equipped with various state-of-the-art technologies, including Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), enabling it to execute surveillance and monitoring missions.
The Shaed-147 is powered by a turboprop engine.
Featuring SAR capabilities, the recently added Shaed-147 drone to the Iranian military inventory can produce high-resolution images even in adverse weather conditions.
Its ability to operate at high altitudes for an extended duration will undoubtedly enhance Iran’s surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, particularly during escalating tensions in the region.
The operational radius of the Shaed-147 drone allows it to perform surveillance and reconnaissance tasks over vast areas.
Currently, its primary function is Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR).
Recently, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps revealed an upgraded variant, the “Shahid-149 Gaza” drone, for the first time.
The design of the “Shahid 149-Gaza,” produced by Iran’s domestic defense industry, closely resembles the well-known “MQ-9 Reaper” drone manufactured by General Atomics in the United States.
