Eesti Kaitsevägi võttis 2021. aastal kasutusele 120 tõusvate laskemärkide „Hardy“ 5.põlvkonna seadet.
OÜ ELI toodetud tõusvate laskemärkide komplektid „Hardy“ on olnud Eesti Kaitseväes kasutusel alates 1999 aastast. Enam kui paarikümne aasta jooksul toimunud koostöös Kaitseväega oleme tänaseks jõudnud „Hardy“ laskemärkide arendustöös 5.põlvkonna tooteni.
Väärib märkimist, et väliselt on 5.põlvkonna toode üsnagi sarnane paarikümne aasta vanuse seadmega - ju see annab tunnistust ka toonase toote heast tehnilisest lahendusest.
Oluline arendustöö ja suured muutused on aga toimunud laskemärgi elektrotehnilises osas. Suurenenud töökindlusega seadme puhul märkab kasutaja eelkõige laskemärgi kiiremat reageerimisaega ja pikenenud kahe laadimistsükli vahelist autonoomset tööaega.
Samuti on paranenud sidevahendite töökindlus ja ka tarkvara on uuendatud.
Oleme kindlad, et „Hardy“ 5.põlvkonna seadmed on tõhusad väljaõppevahendid ja võimaldavad kaitseväelastel läbi viia kõrgel tasemel taktikalist laskeväljaõpet.
In 2021 the Estonian Defence Forces deployed 120 "Hardy" 5th generation pop-up target devices.
"Hardy" pop-up target sets produced by OÜ ELI have been in use in the Estonian Defense Forces since 1999. In cooperation with the Defense Forces for more than a couple of decades, we have reached the 5th generation product in the development of "Hardy" pop-up targets.
It is worth noting that the appearance of the 5th generation product is quite similar to that of the device from a couple of decades ago – a proof of successful technical design at the time.
Significant development work and major changes have taken place in the electrotechnical part of the target.
In the case of a device with increased reliability, the user can notice the faster response time of the shooting target and the increased autonomous operating time between charging cycles.
The reliability of the communication equipment has also been improved and the operating software has been updated.
We are sure that "Hardy" 5th generation devices are effective training tools and enable the Estonian Defense Forces to conduct a tactical shooting training practice at the highest level.
We have developed new and much more capable UAV pneumatic launcher for UAV-s and other aircraft with MTOW up to 100 kg and launch them at speeds up to 25m/s. The launcher is light-weight, battery-operated and is quickly assembled. The system is easily portable in special rugged cases. Custom carriage rods can be designed based on clients UAV specifications. Please look under the products for more information.
Eli is glad to announce that we will be participating in IDEX 2019. The expo will be held from the 17th to the 21st February in Abu Dhabi. IDEX is the premier defense exhibition in region and attracts both exhibitors and visitors from all over the world.
