ADVANCED SURVEILLANCE, MISSION SYSTEMS & CONNECTIVITY

The UA9 can be equipped with advanced, fully stabilised EO/IR surveillance systems providing high-definition daylight and thermal imaging capability for both day and night operations.

Integrated mission displays provide the mission operator with real-time imagery and sensor control, supporting surveillance, detection, identification, tracking and evidence gathering directly from the aircraft.

Starlink satellite connectivity provides high-speed airborne communications, enabling the UA9 to remain connected during operations and supporting the transmission of mission data, imagery and operational information to ground-based teams and command centres.

Mission imagery and data can also be recorded for subsequent analysis, reporting and transfer. The UA9’s adaptable mission architecture allows additional communications, navigation and specialist equipment to be integrated according to the customer’s operational requirements.

Different sensor configurations can be offered according to mission, performance and budget requirements, allowing the UA9 to be configured for routine patrol, infrastructure inspection, law enforcement, maritime surveillance, humanitarian support and security operations.
