Air Robotics Im IV-A AVS. Less than 2 lbs ready to fly and 10 lb payload capacity.
The man-portable Airborne Vehicle Systems (AVS) from Air Robotics provide special operation teams (SOT) real-time, persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) of a focused engagement area with a four plus hour dwell time and clandestine operation above 200 feet AGL. The AVS does not require a runway and carries up to a ten pound payload. The AVS is simple, mission flexible, and completely transparent. The Air Robotics AVS is the solution for special team ISR requirements as it offers the highest lift, greatest endurance and most rugged airframe for any unmanned system in its size class.
High Lift. The AVS is the lift leader for its class. The high-lift airfoil allows special operation teams to carry the greatest amount of payload without the need for a runway and heavy wet-fuel engines. Launch and land in a small clearing close to the mission site using quiet electric power.
Airborne Persistence. The all-wing design eliminates the parasitic drag and excess weight found on conventional MUAVs. One hundred percent of the airframe is dedicated to lift. Carry more payload longer than in any other MUAV platform on the market today.
Crush Test Challenge. We parked a truck on the AVS. No damage and ready for another flight.
Impact Tolerant. Field conditions are never perfect and anyone with experience will tell you that the life expectancy of a conventional MUAV in the field can be short. We have eliminated the two most vulnerable areas, the fuselage and the tail group, and constructed our AVS out of light-weight, energy dissipating materials. The AVS remains operational even after being hit with thirty caliber rounds from 25 meters, run over by a truck or hitting a field obstruction while landing. In situations where other MUAVs break, our AVS is ready for another flight.
