Its primary usage is in civilian air operations, supporting applications ranging from border protection and security, to pipeline monitoring and remote infrastructure management. The aircraft has a fixed wing construction, providing extended range and reliability in adverse weather conditions.
Operation and Control
The UAV is operated from a Ground Control Station with a pilot and a flight operator. It can be manually controlled or run in fully automatic mode, where pre-programmed waypoints allow automatic takeoff, flight and landing. The aircraft also has additional safety modes which allow it to return to base or land in a safe area if communications are lost or faults occur.
The UAV has an S mode transponder which allows its flight path to be integrated into normal civilian airspace without special authorization. The equipment and aircraft can be transported in a light van..
Communications and Monitoring
Secure communications via radio or satellite Inmarsat connections are built in for continuous transmission of video and sensor readings to a ground station. Onboard sensors include Infra-Red cameras, Optical cameras, Radar/Lidar and others to the operator’s requirements.
