UAVOS and ISR Unmanned Technologies Ltd. have confirmed a recent collaboration to develop a new unmanned VTOL helicopter, the ISR-350-5.
Based on the UAVOS’s UVH- 170 UAV, the ISR-350-5 is a light, single-engine, gasoline-powered helicopter with 2 litres/hr fuel consumption, achieving a flight-time of up to 6 hours.
Designed for commercial and security applications, the ISR-350-5 VTOL UAV is the result of extensive research and development, delivering system improvements including advanced mechanics, on-board electronics and extended payloads.
With the ability to carry payloads of up to 5 kg (such as infrared and thermal imaging ISR camera gimbals), the platform is intended for applications including:
- Surveillance
- Inspection
- Agriculture
- Mining
- Mapping
- LIDAR
- GIS.
The integrated UAVOS autopilot control system synchronizes the payload, onboard telemetry and the flight task for most aerial applications. With IP67 rated electronics, the ISR-350-5 unmanned helicopter can operate in harsh and tropical climates. In addition, the vehicle components feature self-diagnosis capabilities for maximum flight safety and increased durability.
Speaking about collaboration with ISR Unmanned Technologies Ltd., UAVOS Chairman and Lead Developer Aliaksei Stratsilatau said: “The partnership with ISR Unmanned Technologies Ltd. creates the opportunity for both companies to explore expanding into new markets and developing new capabilities to meet future customer needs.”
The joint project will be manufactured and assembled in the UK and will be introduced at DSEI London 2019.
