ThunderB-VTOL: Longer
range. Smarter payloads.
ThunderB-VTOL is a robust, innovative and versatile UAS for long-range covert, real-time day and cooled-IR stabilized payloads for Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) operations. It features extended-endurance and greater take-off weight, making it suitable for large area coverage, even in harsh weather conditions. With high-performance sensors, comms and software algorithms, it provides rapid GPS-marked high-definition (HD) video, photogrammetric tactical mapping on demand (TMOD) and other intelligence assets.
ThunderB-VTOL’s
longer range
suits the growing need for UAS missions in the maritime arena. It can be easily operated by naval and non-military security forces, either launched from shore (with the option of transferring control to ships at sea) or operated as an integral maritime asset directly from the ship’s deck. With its extended-range cruising capability, the ThunderB-VTOL can cover large areas in a single mission.
ThunderB-VTOL’s modular payload
bay and quick-release connectors
make it easy to adapt to missions such as mapping-on-demand, with a range of optional compatible payloads such as photogrammetric, multi-spectral or radiometric mapping cameras.
