UAS PLATFORM
Open platforms.
Modular UAS with sensors and on-board computing configured for the mission.
Detect threats.
Before exposing the operator.
Multisensor acquisition, on-board AI and operational software turn detected threats into georeferenced intelligence shareable with BMS and C2 systems.
