What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
Delair introduces UX11 UAS
Delair has developed a new fixed-wing UAS for survey-grade mapping called the UX11, the company announced on 26 April.
The UAS is a hardware-software solution that provides accurate images for mapping applications in the survey, construction, oil and gas, utilities, mining, agriculture and transportation industries.
With on-board processing capabilities and real-time, long-range control, the UX11 has integrated features for before, during and after flight operations. It includes an embedded global shutter camera, analytics and data reporting tools and post processed kinematic capabilities for high quality results.
The 1.4kg is hand launched and capable of steep-climb take-offs and descents in confined areas. A ground sensor and reverse thrust helps in controlled descents and precise, deep-stall soft landings. The aircraft can fly for up to 59 minutes covering over 500 acres at 400ft.
The UX11 comes in two communications options: the Delair Link for 2.4 GHz wireless communications and an integrated secure cellular connection on partner 3G and 4G networks. The Delair Link for 2.4 GHz wireless communications allows connectivity at a range of up to 5km, whereas the integrated secure cellular connection reduces potential interference issues, allowing longer range control, including BVLOS operations.
The Delair Flight Deck software can be run from standard Android tablets and allows quick mission planning and pre-flight checks.
