UMS SKELDAR Sets Roadmap for V-200 Showcase in Australasia
UMS SKELDAR, a joint venture between Saab and UMS AERO Group, announced plans at the IndoPacific International Maritime Exposition in Australia to conduct in-country flight demonstrations of its SKELDAR V-200 solution for key stakeholders in the broader Australasia region in 2024.
The V-200 platform is an unmanned Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) system trusted by NATO and Five-Eyes forces and is the company’s star offering.
The company continues to build on the momentum gained at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI), where two pivotal technology development partnerships were unveiled. The first involved a new Battlefield Deployable Uncrewed Aerial System (BDUAS) developed in collaboration with Marshall Land Systems. The second partnership combined UMS SKELDAR, the Canadian Government, and Ultra Maritime to enhance the V-200’s Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capabilities.
Elite UAS
The V-200 is an advanced Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) known for excelling in challenging maritime and overland scenarios. It features rugged components for adverse weather conditions, ship-based Automatic Take-off and Landing (ATOL), and ship-specific Remote Pilot Station (RPS) integration options.
It boasts an agnostic, open architecture platform which has optionality for numerous sensor combinations. These include high-resolution Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR), Maritime Patrol Radar (MPR), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), and Electronic Warfare sensors.
Sonar Deployment
For the first time in a VTOL UAS of its size, the V-200 has an option for deployment of up to six anti-submarine sonar buoys.
This revolution in UAS capability significantly increases the functionality and capability of the V-200. It incorporates a dependable heavy fuel engine, and its modular design and easily removable access panels allow for efficient routine maintenance and inspections as well as payload reconfigurations.
“We are excited to undertake demonstrations of our V-200 to key stakeholders across the Australasian region,” said Richard Hjelmberg, UMS SKELDAR’s VP of Business Development.
