Implementation is based on the complete system demonstrator, which was tested at sea under operational conditions for an entire year. Proven effectiveness against airborne, maritime and land-based targets, even in adverse weather conditions
Controlled tests measured electro-optical sensor saturation and visual-acquisition denial across two UAV platforms
Already tested extensively during land exercises, the autonomous drone was taken to sea to explore how it could be operated from a ship. Pre-programmed to fly to a specific target, the system was flown from a launcher installed on the ship’s deck.
