AirRobot AR100-B High Technology Cameras and Sensor Sysytem For Special Operations and Intelligence

Airrobot AR100-B Made German

Airrobot AR100-B is a German manufacturer for unmanned aerial systems with unique technology. The current system, the AirRobot AR100-B is a micro unmanned aerial vehicle with vertical take off and landing. Due to its advanced technology with extensive autonomous flight management and stabilization, operation is easy to learn and does not require prior flight experience. When the aircraft does not receive a command, it immediately initiates auto positioning, autonomously maintaining altitude, absolute position and heading. The operator can fully focus on his or her mission.

The modular payload concept enables the user of the AirRobot to swap the available cameras and sensors within seconds in order to respond quickly and effectively to changes in mission requirements like a change from day to night operations. Video and data are displayed and saved in real time on the ground control station. Currently available payloads include daylight color, b/w low light imager, IR thermal image as well as high resolution still cameras. Sensors for gas detection can be integrated into the payload as well. The AirRobot provides a valuable asset for applications in Law Enforcement, Armed Forces and Defense, Border Security, Fire Brigades / Disaster Relief, Search and Rescue, Special Operations and Intelligence. It substantially enhances situational awareness by providing crucial real time information during operations,
resulting in improved public safety and the protection of those, working for it.

Especially in Defense and Counter Terrorism, Micro UAS Systems (MAS) like the AirRobot will be essential instruments for unmanned ISR (Intelligence, Reconnaissance, Surveillance) operations in the near future. As partner of the German Armed Forces under the program name MIKADO, Airrobot will take a key role in formulating the future of Micro UAS within the future force structure.

The development of multiple new technologies, both to enhance safety and reliability, as well as to extend operational capabilities is constantly pursuit. Two milestones will be the completion of auto collision avoidance, and the introduction of a larger system, AR150 with a new propulsion system increasing efficiency in early 2010.

In addition AirRobot GmbH & Co. KG is a partner in several active EU projects. The AirRobot flight platform is an integral part of developments focusing on relevant security applications, specifically mine detection, early fire detection and perimeter security.
