Unmanned Aircraft Solutions (UAS)




Title : Unmanned Aircraft Solutions (UAS)

Content : The AV fleet of unmanned aircraft systems is one of the most widely deployed in the world. It sets new standards for multi-mission capability, autonomy, versatility, and ease of use, providing our frontline heroes with previously impossible levels of situational awareness. AV UAS are runway independent, deploying from a multitude of launch points on land or sea. They operate in all conditions, including bad weather, low-or-no-light, and in GPS-denied environments. Modular designs accommodate a variety of payloads and a wide range of specific customer requirements.




Title : T-20

Content : The catapult-launched, runway independent T-20 fixed wing UAS offers best in class endurance delivering 24+ hours of mission duration, an operational range of 185 km (115 mi) and BLOS capabilities. The portable catapult launching system can be set up and operational in less than 60 minutes within a small operational footprint. With a useable payload capacity of 50 lbs., the high-performance T-20 is multi-mission capable, with fully integrated payload pallets, as well as superior optics featuring premium imaging sensors such as Cloud Cap - TASE 200 & 400 Series, gyro stabilized EO/IR gimbal sensors with continuous zoom, onboard GPS/INS and video processing. In addition, the T-20 features a common autopilot and ground control system architecture providing a highly customizable, modular platform which can be custom-configured to meet operational or customer requirements.




Title : JUMP 20

Content : The JUMP 20 is a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), fixed-wing unmanned aircraft used to provide advanced multi-sensor intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) services. Delivering 14+ hours of endurance and an operational range of 185 km (115 mi), the JUMP 20 is ideal for multi-mission operations. Runway independent, the system can be set up and operational in less than 60 minutes without the need for launch or recovery equipment. With a useable payload capacity of up to 30 pounds, the JUMP 20 offers flexible payload options utilizing industry leading imaging sensors such as ARCAM 45D, long range EO/MWIR as well as onboard tracking, stabilization and video processing. In addition to the multi-mission payload bay and superior optics, the JUMP 20 features a common autopilot and ground control system architecture providing a highly customizable, modular platform which can be custom-configured to meet operational or customer requirements.




Title : PUMA LE

Content : At just 23.5 pounds, this ultra-lightweight Group 2 aircraft is launchable by hand or bungee and provides up to 6.5 hours flight endurance, delivering Group 2 capabilities in a Group 1 footprint while stowed efficiently in a two-case mission packout. Puma LE is All Environment and provides an operational range of 60 km in land and maritime environments when used with our Long-Range Tracking Antenna. The secondary payload bay offers dedicated power and Ethernet, providing 3.4 lb of payload capacity. Designed with mission efficiency in mind, operators can swap between Mantis™ i45 and the optional Mantis i45 N for day and nighttime night operations. Its plug-and-play, interoperable LRU components can be shared across other Puma AE aircraft.




Title : PUMA 3 AE

Content : Battlefield-proven, the third-generation Puma 3 AE (All Environment) delivers mission critical ISR in all environments. Redesigned to deliver class-leading performance, the lightweight group 1 UAS features a reinforced airframe with an optional under wing transit bay for secondary payloads and third-party applications. Multi-mission capable, operators can swap between Mantis™ i45 and the enhanced night variant Mantis™ i45 N, for day, night, and low light operations in all environments. Launchable by hand, bungee, rail, or vehicle, and recoverable by deep-stall landing, the Puma 3 AE provides class leading capability in challenging environments around the world. Available kits and accessories expand the operational capabilities by providing vertical take-off and landing in constrained area operations and GPS-denied navigation in contested environments.




Title : Puma™ VTOL kit

Content : AeroVironment's Puma™ VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) Kit is designed for plug-and-play integration into Puma AE small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS). The VTOL Kit expands the operational capabilities of the combat-proven Puma systems in urban environments as no runway or large open space is required for launch and recovery, allowing operators to launch anywhere, anytime.




Title : RAVEN B RQ-11

Content : The Raven system is the most widely deployed unmanned aircraft system in the world, ideal for low-altitude intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions that depend on rapid deployment and pinpoint maneuverability. Lightweight and simple to operate, the Raven is rucksack portable and can be hand-launched for day or night observation. The Raven has an optional stabilized gimbaled payload and delivers real-time color and/or infrared imagery to the ground control and remote viewing stations. Due to its advanced avionics, Raven can be operated manually or programmed for autonomous navigation.




Title : VAPOR

Content : The all-electric VAPOR helicopter unmanned aircraft system is extremely versatile and can be easily configured to support a variety of mission requirements. VAPOR delivers precision flight performance, exceptional endurance, and maximum payload flexibility for defense, commercial and industrial applications. VAPOR’s modular payload bay and multi-sensor capacity allows for a wide range of sensors including gimbaled EO/IR, multispectral, LIDAR, Comms relay, SIGINT, Armed VTOL as well as Drop/Delivery mechanism to be easily integrated or swapped to expand operational capabilities. This expansive modular payload bay can carry up to 10 pounds of payload with more than 70 minutes of flight endurance while maintaining the 55-pound gross take-off weight (GTOW) restricted by the FAA for commercial customers. For military customers that require more take-off weight, VAPOR 55 MX is capable of a 65-pound GTOW and can carry up to 20 pounds of usable payloads with a reduced endurance trade-off.
