At the Bundeswehr Day in Dietz at the end of June, German drone professional Avilus unveiled the third generation of the Grille and the first generation of 2 other unmanned aerial lorries (UAS), the Wespe and the Bussard, along with new ground control stations.The brand-new portfolio in brief: Bussard Long Range.
Strategic IntelligenceBussard reconnaissance droneBuilt for tactical reach, Bussard provides consistent surveillance and precision results, supplying wide-area reconnaissance with its high-performance radar and allowing standoff target designation when needed.
With a maximum takeoff weight of 800kg, a 143 kg payload capacity, and a 2,500 km variety, Bussard shares the same military-grade avionics core as Grille, ensuring redundancy and strength against electronic warfare.
Geared up with the Hensoldt Argos electro-optical system and Hensoldt PrecISR radar, it makes it possible for day-night, all-weather ISR operations.Wespe Multi-Role.
Functional FlexibilityDesigned as a force multiplier, Wespe makes it possible for mid-range transportation of varied tactical payloads, consisting of electro-optical systems for target designation, swappable cabins for marine medical evacuation, or rapid air-drop assistance.
Powered by a piston engine, Wespe has a maximum departure weight of 650 kg, a 200 kg payload capability, and a300 km functional variety.
As part of our New Class of Drones, it features RasCore avionics for strength versus electronic warfare.Grille Fast Response.
Tactical SimplicityGrille is created for rapid sustainment operations, supporting medical evacuation and logistics while complementing existing assets.
Now in our third generation, brand-new features consist of plug & & fly battery connection, advanced landing gear for intricate terrain, and a swappable medical cabin.
Toolless part replacement improves operational availability, while the integrated multi-parachute system makes sure safe emergency situation healing from low altitudes.With our New Class of Drones, we are defining a new category of unmanned air travel that bridges the space in between small UAVs and standard manned aircraft.
Our systems are specifically designed for application domains where type-certified drones or manned air travel are too expense- or risk-intensive, providing the payload capability and endurance needed for medical evacuation, logistics, intelligence, monitoring, reconnaissance, and support objectives.
By covering this technological space, we make it possible for contemporary defence forces to boost operational efficiency across a broad spectrum of mission profiles.Source: Avilus
