Maximising ISR Capability
One of Europe’s leading providers of Rotary Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms, UMS SKELDAR, has selected end-to-end Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) provider 360iSR to deliver specialist operational support from Concept of Operations (CONOPS) development. This would be for mission specific training for ISR operators, sensor operators and intelligence analysts.
“ISR is the future of modern warfare and of decision making in complex environments,” said Ewen Stockbridge Sime, Founding Director of 360iSR. “We are providing to UMS an end-to-end ISR training solution.”
Need for Change
With new rules of engagement coming in the next 12 months in the UAS industry, the need for change in the way training is delivered has become a must. UMS has overhauled the way its training strategies and courses are delivered by adding not only specialist ISR training, but also by reviewing its offering against the highest quality UAV standards.
David Willems, VP Business Development and Strategy for the joint venture between Saab and UMS AERO GROUP, UMS SKELDAR, added: “This new partnership with one of the leading ISR organisations, 360ISR, will add significant weight to our training provision moving forward. The dynamic nature of the mission space, especially in the military and maritime sectors, demands that we not only stay up-to-date with our wider UAV services, but also continually improve them in order to stay ahead of both the industry and the impending regulations.”
Portfolio of UAVs
UMS SKELDAR’s Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) rotary UAVs currently incorporates the SKELDAR V-200 and the newly launched V-150. Thanks to its heavy fuel engine that operates on Jet A-1, JP5 and JP8, alongside an ability to fly for over five hours with multiple payloads and extended time between overhauls (TBO), the SKELDAR V-200 has become the global navies’ VTOL UAV of choice. The V-150, on the other hand, is an ITAR-free high-performance UAV that operates on a turbine engine propulsion system that uses heavy fuels. Including an ability to carry multiple payloads across two payload bays (up to 30 kg in the main bay and up to 12 kg in the nose), its modular design enables a high degree of maintainability alongside a minimum turn-around time during operations.
