Civilian UAV Systems

The SOLARIS and STRATOS are advanced civilian HAPS (High Altitude Pseudo Satellite) UAV systems that offer a low-cost alternative to conventional satellites. With an operational range of 200 km LOS (extendable to +1000 km transits on-station), the platforms are designed for military or scientific programs that require a high-altitude communications repeater, surveillance, or mapping platform. Able to operate at altitudes of 22 km (SOLARIS; 6-10 km/ STRATOS: 20-22 km) with their compact hybrid solar-driven powerplants – the SOLARIS and STRATOS challenge the competition with their refined aerodynamics, advanced flight control systems and highly developed data links.

The EXPLORER is an advanced UAV system, with an operational range of 200 km, and is designed for research programs that require a proven platform as an equipment or sensor test bed. Able to operate out to altitudes of over 10000 feet (3000 m) and above with an economical and compact IC engine powerplant – the EXPLORER challenges the competition with its refined aerodynamics, advanced flight control systems, and highly developed data links.

The ROVER MK I is a pioneering effort to create an affordable civilian scientific and payload test UAV system, with an operational range in excess of 15 km, and is designed for the researcher or academic professional requiring field test and sensor data quickly and reliably.

The ROVER XS is an extended range and payload version of the ROVER MK I with a larger motor and increased wingspan for heavier sensors/payloads.   The platform is an affordable scientific and payload test UAV system, with an operational range in excess of 15 km, and is designed for the researcher or academic professional requiring field test and sensor data quickly and reliably.
