Seen below is the flagship EMC Operations Group, Sentian Class System (in collaboration with Sentian Aerospace:) an XPLORER UAS 2.0. It's a MALE, autonomous drone designed for both advanced strategic ISR missions and combat operations, with specialised modular payloads alongside modular VTOL capability used to adapt to operational requirements. Here are some characteristics: -Wingspan: 6.4m -Length: 3.0m -Height: 1.3m -Cruising speed: 120km/h -Max Speed: 300km/h -VTOL Capable, Carrier Takeoff Capable, Hover Capable. -Swappable VTOL pylons as payload. -Endurance: 24hr (Max.) -Range: 3000km (with all range Satlink and 200km+ Radiolink.) -Max Altitude: 20,000ft -MTOW: 150kg -Payload: 50kg, Modular and Detachable, inclusive of: LIDAR Sensor/Designator Various advanced electro-optical sighting suites. Infrared (FLIR) thermal imaging sighting suites. Extra fuel tanks for ultra-long endurance. Sonar system for depth analysis. Potential weapons payloads. -Modular assembly for simple logistics, transport, storage, and deployment. -Dual engines powered by STANAG 95 Octane Petrol (F-95) which can be electric-hybridised. XPLORER harnesses some brilliant technology. With true autonomous mission execution, XPLORER can be tasked, and subsequently scan/inspect ISR points of interest in order to make determinations and give solid feedback (e.g determinations of: Are enemy logistics routes damaged? Is enemy powerplant apparatus corroded? What's the water level of an enemy reservoir? How much has an enemy stockpile changed in quantity since last week?...TRUE autonomy in flying, and constant tracking of objects, comparison of prior imaging and video, all alongside TRUE ISR, which is fundamentally truly autonomous inspection by a sighting suite or alternate payload.

MBDA showcases new effector concept for Sky Warden C-UAS modular solution > > https://hubs.la/Q02JlyVt0 The new effector concept, exhibited at the 2024 Farnborough Airshow, is a ground launched anti-air munition targeting threats that include Class 1 & smaller Class 2 sUAS and Loitering Munitions. Éric Béranger, CEO of MBDA, said; “Our flagship Sky Warden modular C-UAS system is designed to evolve at the same rapid speed as the drone threat the world now faces, as demonstrated so effectively in recent trials. This latest effector solution shows MBDA in our best light: innovative and agile, adapting to the environment around us, and anticipating our customers’ needs. "The exciting advance MBDA have made with this effector is in creating an independent warhead design that operators can add to a drone in the battlefield. It demonstrates our collaboration DNA, partnering with an emerging technology company to create a new low-cost counter drone effector.” MBDA #cuas #antidrone #drone #technology

The place of antennas requires several studies, such as interference, signal gain and shadow waves.

Did you know in October our 200th weekly UAS threat report was released? This anniversary marked four years of tracking adversary use of UAS and sharing these unique TTPs in a digestible, regularized format. All daily, weekly and monthly threat briefs are supplemental to the digital UAS Threat Intelligence Platform capability used by some of the world's most elite and mature C-UAS programs.

Drone Vs Tank - “The future is now old man” The days of Armor supremacy, kings of battle and thunder runs are over. The explosive power, speed, agility and low cost that come in these tiny drones is terrifying and advancing at an alarming rate. What youre watching is from a Russian POV overlooking a Russian Tank, in the top left corner you can see a Ukraine drone dive in, make contact and in a flash - the tank and its crew are gone. This is one low cost FPV COTS drone made in country, but soon it will be a swarm with AI targeting. We as western forces need to be watching, studying and gathering intel on how this tech has changed, and is shaping a war unlike the way we fought during GWOT. The future is now old man, are you learning? Follow for more - https://t.me/TheLeaflet #TheLeaflet #ChosenCompany

Some #UAV #helicopters are designed to do only one type of mission with only one type of #payload. And that doesn't solve the overall problem. Being able to integrate any type of camera or sensor up to 4Kg into the A900 is key for many of our customers. And if it can be done in just a few minutes...imagine the possibilities! At Alpha Unmanned Systems we have designed a payload agnostic platform to raise the bar on #versatility, flexibility and make every mission a #success.
