SKELDAR V-200 to Safeguard Infrastructure
The Dubai Airshow is the first global airshow where UMS is showcasing its leading SKELDAR V-200 platform with ViDAR (Visual Identification and Ranging). ViDAR is the first proven wide area autonomous detection system for electro-optic imagery in the maritime domain.
Alongside this, UMS also announced the fact that the first SKELDAR V-200 has been manufactured and deployed by international outsource manufacturing contractor Scanfil. It is a milestone that represents a significant boost to production ahead of what is planned to be UMS SKELDAR’s biggest year yet in 2020.
Following major contract wins with the German Navy and Royal Canadian Navy, and important advancements to the flagship SKELDAR V-200 platform over the last 12 months, UMS SKELDAR has entered what (it says) is a critical phase of its growth. David Willems, VP Business Development and Strategy, explains: “2020 will be a very big year for us, and one where the hard work of the team from the last 18 months will pay off as we fulfil the company’s potential. With the ability to serial produce our pioneering SKELDAR V-200 platform and thanks to further contracts in the pipeline, we are on a high growth trajectory that will place us at the forefront of the global maritime UAV market.”
It is envisaged that the first batches will be produced over the next few months. Alongside, UMS SKELDAR will continue to develop prototypes as it expands software operations, research and development and training solutions. Further ongoing advancements are also being made to the SKELDAR V-200, in line with the company’s declared mission to be at the cutting-edge of the VTOL UAV market.
The SKELDAR V-200 is unmatched in its ability to provide OPVs with an embedded, eye in the sky intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capability to enhance their capacity to perform primary and secondary missions.
