Sub-tactical unmanned aerial
vehicle (Sub-Tac UAV’s) provides: -Cost- effective intelligence.
-Surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR)
capabilities. - Situational awareness. - Force protection and
security. - Remote warfare operations. The emerging
capabilities of Sub-Tac UAV system solution provide a new dimension
to airborne multi-mission. The overall advantages of current
technology are leveraged to provide a fully operational and
affordable system, capable of meeting complex mission
objective.
The Sparrow is a retrievable, modestly sized UAV,
equipped with an Electro-optical, day/night, stabilized payload.
It’s advanced avionics provide a fully manual to fully autonomous
flight, combined with surveillance and recognition
capabilities.
A typically configured, fully fueled Sparrow
weighs approx. 45 Kg, carries a mission specific payload of 12 Kg.
and cruises at 60-70 Kts. for over 4hr. The UAV can be fitted with a
larger fuel tank to facilitate extended flight
duration.
Ease of Operation The system is
external-pilot-free. Launch is catapult-assisted, automatically
placing the UAV at flight altitude/speed. Recovery is also automatic
through the use of a
parachute.
Flexibility The 2 separate
ground control elements (mini-GCS & LRS) as well as a portable
video receiving station allow for increased flexibility when
deploying and operating the system.
Minimal
Logistics Modest UAV dimensions, combined with light
weight and small operating crew, contribute to shorten deployment
time and minimize required auxiliary equipment.
