German Army Made High Technology Luna Aerial Unmanned System UAV-UAS

The UAV system LUNA is currently used for ground reconnaisance in confl ict areas (e.g. Kunduz, Afghanistan) in order to protect human life and equipment. The training simulation UAS-TS improves the cooperation between the UAV pilot and the sensor operator, without the need for a real-life mission fl ight.

The operational area, the fl ight behaviour and the environmental weather are simulated to a high degree of realism. Technical malfunctions of the simulated UAV as well as diffi cult situations during a mission can be activated and modifi ed by the instructor during a training session. Operational and behavioral errors can be uncovered in a subsequent 3D after-action-report. This develops a sense of routine and therefore the confi dence when operating in a real-life mission.

Virtual Real-time Simulation

• Detailed real-time mission scenarios in a virtual surrounding
• Nature-like display of the environment and weather situation
• View distances of up to 40 kilometer
• Display of air, ground and sea units in a single simulation
• Network-enabled simulation at multiple sites
• 3D display and 3D analysis of sensor data in real-time
• Connectability / data exchange with existing ground control stations
• 3D pre-mission plan allowing different sensor technology
• Archival storage of fl ight data



UAV System LUNA
The UAV system is used succesfully by the German Army since March 2000 for reconnaisance missions in confl ict areas. For more information on the system, please visit the website of the manufacturer EMT, Ingenieurgesellschaft.
