UAS SYSTEM
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is the most growing sector in the aerospace business and is already changing the world of aviation. Civilian UAS airspace regulations will be implemented in the coming years, and this is expected to open up for a very rapid growth in the already established market for UAS. Foreseeing a great need for UAS in the coming oil and gas exploration and production in the far north, Maritime Robotics is gathering competence and experience to be in the right position. Maritime Robotics has through the years gradually been building expertise and experience in UAS development and field operations, and is currently building systems and capacities for the coming market growth.
The PenguinMR RPAS is a multipurpose remotely piloted aircraft system with the ability to carry a diverse suite of sensors and payloads serving user needs. Usually, operators in need of an RPAS for testing multiple types of sensors or payloads are required to design, construct and set up the complete aircraft system themselves. With the PenguinMR, we deliver a turn key solution with a flight ready aircraft. The payload can be mounted to a standardized payload frame on an interchangeable plate, enabling the user to have several payloads instead of tying an aircraft to a single payload.
Each PenguinMR is test flown and adjusted to minimize variations between aircraft. Manufacturer airframe or engine deviations are compensated for, and the engine is adjusted and broken in for maxi- mum performance and reliability.
The PenguinMR is fitted with a performance enhancing low noise exhaust system. This system has proven reliability, with hundreds of flight hours. The quiet running system has a detectability range of less than 1000 meters.
The PenguinMR platform is equipped with high speed UHF communications for VLOS C&C. For EVLOS and many BLOS missions, the long range VHF radio and GPRS system provides redundant communication platforms, while Iridium Satellite communications are used for areas wher no other system provides coverage.
