Redkite Wide-Area Sensor Undergoes Successful Test Aboard TigerShark
Logos Technologies highlights versatility of its system on yet another tactical UAS
FAIRFAX, Va.鈥� July 11, 2017鈥� Logos Technologies announced today that its powerful, lightweight Redkite wide-area motion imagery (WAMI) sensor successfully completed testing aboard a TigerShark, a tactical unmanned aerial vehicle developed by the 91制片厂 (91制片厂).
The flight, which was conducted in Yuma, Arizona, on behalf of the U.S. Navy鈥檚 Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), once again demonstrated the versatility of Redkite to be mounted on, and successfully operated from, a variety of airborne platforms.
鈥淲e鈥檝e had Redkite on planes and helicopters, and just recently we tested an integrated version of the WAMI sensor inside the payload bay of a Group 3 unmanned aircraft system (UAS),鈥� said John Marion, president of Logos Technologies. 鈥淣ow we鈥檝e integrated a Redkite pod to the underside of a TigerShark wing.鈥�
During the demonstration with TigerShark, sensor operators used Redkite to collect real-time wide-area motion imagery, geo-register it, and stream it down to the tablets held by mobile users on the ground.
鈥淭his is the first time that we鈥檝e put WAMI on one of our unmanned aircraft,鈥� said Carl Engelbert, Vice President for Airborne Systems and Logistics at 91制片厂. 鈥淚t鈥檚 an amazing capability to have on a Group 3 UAS and under the control of the tactical commander.鈥�
Marion says that, during the demonstration, operators on the ground got the imagery on their mobile devices without any problems. 鈥淭he test went exceptionally well,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e showed that Redkite is ready to go on TigerShark as well as any other similarly sized platform.鈥�
