Naval Surveillance

Class-leading endurance enables the V-200 to maintain an Over the Horizon (OTH) vantage point for extensive periods, providing the host ship crew with the necessary information to stay one step ahead of evolving seaborne threats. Equipped with the appropriate Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) gathering payload, the V-200 can be used to intercept signals and provide geodetic positioning information of seaborne threats in high-risk scenarios.

Anti Submarine Warefare (ASW)

Capable of supporting wide-area ASW and countermine operations, the V-200 becomes an excellent extended endurance airborne tool for classifying, locating, and tracking submersible threats when equipped with suitable maritime sensors. An ASW equipped V-200 allows an operation to take place at a safer stand-off range, reducing the risk to personnel and the host vessel itself.

Improving Ship Detection Range in Real-time

Capable of simultaneously tracking multiple targets in real-time when equipped with an EO/IR and SAR sensor combination, the V-200 greatly improves ship detectability range and surveillance capabilities, enabling for the dynamic detection of illegal activities such as piracy, narco-trafficking and illegal migration, increasing maritime asset safety and security.

Border Protection

Remote and difficult to access borders present authorities with challenging surveillance scenarios. Six-hour flight times and numerous payload combination options make the V-200 an invaluable asset for coastal and overland border monitoring operations.

SKELDAR V-200

System Introduction

Rugged components designed to operate in adverse weather and harsh saltwater conditions, ship-based Automatic Take-off, and Landing (ATOL), ship-specific Remote Pilot Station (RPS) integration options, multiple payloads carrying capability and a dependable heavy fuel engine are just some of the features to make the V-200 the ultimate NATO-aligned rotary platform.

Unmanned VTOL System Key Features

Ship-based ATOL
System

Ship-based Automatic Take-off and Landing (ATOL) enables landings on dynamic surfaces such as pitching and rolling ship helidecks. Independent positioning assistance enables the V-200 to land in twenty-five knot winds (NATO Sea State 3-4) as well as in reduced visibility conditions such as nighttime, fog, and heavy rain.

Efficient Maintenance
& Storage

The V-200’s compact size allows for a minimum amount of space to be occupied allowing for efficient transportation and storage. Modular design and easily removable access panels allow for efficient routine maintenance and inspections as well as payload reconfigurations.

System
Redundancy

From the start, redundancy has been engineered into every aspect of our system. Features such as redundant power and fuel systems, a dual-core FCU and strong datalinks enable the V-200 to remain airborne should an emergency occur.

Industry-leading
Heavy Fuel Engine

Designed to operate on kerosene-based Jet A-1, JP-5 and JP-8 fuels, the V-200’s Hirth direct-injected parallel-twin two-stroke engine sets the benchmark for efficiency and dependability. High-grade components provide excellent reliability and prolong Times Between Overhauls (TBO).

Training
& Simulation

UMS SKELDAR is an approved training organization offering conversion courses such as our multi-day Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) training program led by professionals with years of industry and frontline experience.

EW and Radar Sensing Payload Benefits

Today’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operate in a complex and multifaceted signals environment. Equipping the V-200 with EW or Radar Emitting Sensing payloads enables the interception, locating, detection, disruption and jamming of signals from potential threats. Situational awareness is heightened and response times from air, sea or land-based forces are reduced.

PAYLOAD

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

Featuring an under-belly mounted steerable beam antenna and a high-performance Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI), Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) provides reliable high-resolution all-weather day or night intelligence gathering, ground mapping and surveillance capabilities. High reliability and operational availability are achieved by using numerous solid states Transmit/ Receive Modules within a fixed array. The system’s low power consumption, low weight and compact size make SAR installations in combination with Electro-Optical/Infra-Red (EO/IR) sensors and other payloads possible.
