The VECTOR UAV system caters to the
medium-sized UAV/RPV market. The VECTOR system offers modularity,
ruggedness and accessibility that is second to none in field
operations. With payload capabilities in the 40 kg range, and a
nominal price tag, the competitive edge is obvious. The VECTOR airframes use bullet-proof Kevlar molded fuselage pans,
Kevlar/Graphite reinforced equipment bays and side stress panels and
high-tensile steel aramid-reinforced landing gears. A variety of
payloads can be supported with the available onboard power supplies.
The VECTOR UAV systems were
specially developed to cover a customer requirement for a family of
modular composite airframes that could provide tactical surveillance
capabilities in the 160-200 km range. Based on a classical twin-boom
pusher layout, the aircraft can be equipped with a variety of stock
or modified power plants, including tuned-exhaust and belt-driven
modifications. All models support real-time video and data modules
and flight avionics for at least 200 km LOS range applications.
A complete system consists of
4 UAV’s; a GCS-2000 Ground Control Station; the ATPS-2000 Antenna
Tracking & Positioning System; programming and moving map mission
display software; Spares and the GSE-2000 Ground Support Equipment
subsystem. |
