INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Skydweller and Thales are reinforcing their cooperation by gearing up Skydwellers unmanned solar powered aircraft (MAPS) with a new option
including the AirMaster S radar, equipped with Artificial Intelligence includes allowing ideal and self-governing adjustment to the specific
flight conditions.This ingenious solution combines a solar-powered extreme endurance aerial platform with next-generation security
intelligence, to set a brand-new standard in self-governing, ultra-persistent maritime surveillance.The Skydweller MAPS (medium-altitude
pseudo-satellite), a self-governing aircraft with an incomparable payload bring capacity (up to 400kg unlike all other solar energy aircraft
doing not have real payload capability) is capable of flights from weeks to months, ruining the tyranny of distance with no carbon emissions
This ability permits almost constant maritime protection, extending the scope of security objectives that need both persistence and
operational performance.Thales will gear up the MAPS Skydweller with the AirMaster S radar system and its advanced SMART RADAR capabilities,
whose smart functions have actually currently been shown on board the ATL2 maritime patrol aircraft
Operating in X-band with AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array Antenna) innovation, the AirMaster S radar provides substantial
functional benefits such as instant and accurate evaluation of land, air or sea situation.The radar also includes auto-tuning abilities
based on flight and objective conditions, perfectly fit to the Skydweller drones perseverance in flight
Its AI-based target classification function can spot points of interest amongst a big volume of information and lower the amount of details
that requires to be transmitted to the ground.Thanks to its ability to fly continuous for weeks to months, the MAPS Skydweller solar powered
unmanned airplane permits an irreversible existence in delicate locations
It matches the resources already offered (satellites, other kinds of drones, airplane, etc) and makes it possible to redirect resources
according to the missions.The mix of Thales AirMaster S Smart radar with the MAPS Skydweller will make it possible to alter the paradigm for
surveillance objectives, by using a special option to present sovereignty difficulties
We welcome this alliance and think it will be greater to security to NATO, the EU, and allies of western democracies, Sbastien Renouard,
Chief Commercial Officer for Europe Middle East & & Africa.We are happy with this collaboration, which demonstrates the worth of our
Artificial Intelligence capabilities in the field of radars, which, combined with the innovative Skydweller MAPS, represent a genuine
technological breakthrough for monitoring missions, Philippe Duhamel, Executive Vice President, Defense Mission Systems, ThalesSource:
