SDO 50 V2 & V3 (North America specific)
Unmanned helicopter platform with market leading features – payload up to 45 kg, flight time up to 3.1 hours, range of 40 km (radio line of sight; expandable), autonomous take-off and landing capability and programmable flight path executed by autopilot. Made for day & night operations in adverse weather conditions.
Applications
Unparalleled flexibility and efficiency, allowing for individual payload configurations including stabilized IR/optical cameras and missions under difficult or dangerous circumstances (e.g. bad weather, darkness, flying over hostile or otherwise unsafe areas) when manned operations are not feasible.
Agile support of SAR missions using specific camera systems and sensors to locate missing people in inaccessible or hazardous areas (land or water), also in adverse weather conditions and at night. Once target persons are located, emergency gear such as survival kits, medical devices, food, rafts can be airlifted and dropped.
Ongoing inspections of critical infrastructure such as high-voltage power lines, gas & oil pipelines and other far-stretched assets are critical for their uninterrupted operation and security. We offer cost-effective unmanned solutions using market-leading cameras, sensors and software to address customer-specific needs for aerial data gathering and processing.
Sensors
The deployment of UAVs for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions has been part of civil and military operations for some time. Systems applied aim for long-range surveillance, intelligence gathering and tactical combat operations, typically carrying MWIR, incl. EO/IR (electro optical and infrared) and LRF sensors.
Near-earth spectroscopy from UAV-hyperspectral sensor systems addresses the limitations of resolution, cloud cover, and signal-to-noise ratio from traditional airborne or satellite platforms.
Providing operational diagnostics of extended gas transmission and gas distribution facilities for leaks. The system is also used for exploration of gas fields.
Equipped with the right sensors, UAVs can significantly help determine radiation levels after incidents in nuclear facilities as well as during regular routine monitoring.
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors use light energy, originating from a laser, to scan the ground and variable distances. The outcome is a rich set of elevation data that can be used to produce high-resolution maps and 3D models of natural and man-made objects.
