Six ISR Domains,
One Integrated Platform

Capability 01

Wide-Area Persistent Surveillance

Long-endurance VTOL fixed-wing platforms provide 5–7 hour continuous coverage of wide operational areas. EO/IR sensor turrets deliver real-time HD video and thermal imagery across a 10–50 km² surveillance footprint per sortie.

Recommended Platforms

150kg-Class VTOL — Heavy-lift multi-sensor ISR
30kg-Class VTOL — Tactical area surveillance
SG GCS — Real-time sensor management

Key Parameters

Endurance5–7 hours continuous
Coverage area10–50 km² per sortie
SensorEO/IR dual-band turret
Data link30–200 km range
Capability 02

Border Security & Perimeter Monitoring

24/7 automated border surveillance with AI-assisted intrusion detection. Long-endurance platforms maintain persistent coverage of extended border segments, automatically alerting operators to detected movement and transmitting geo-referenced imagery for rapid response coordination.

Recommended Platforms

150kg-Class VTOL — Extended border patrol
30kg-Class VTOL — Sector monitoring
SG GCS — Multi-sector coordination

Key Parameters

Coverage200+ km border segment
DetectionAI-assisted motion/intrusion
Alert latency< 5 seconds
Night opsFull thermal IR capability
Capability 03

Maritime Patrol & Sea Surface Surveillance

Long-range maritime surveillance for exclusive economic zone monitoring, illegal fishing detection, smuggling interdiction, and sea surface search and rescue. VTOL platforms operate from ship decks without catapult or recovery systems.

Recommended Platforms

150kg-Class VTOL — Extended maritime patrol
30kg-Class VTOL — Coastal surveillance
SG GCS — Maritime track management

Key Parameters

Maritime rangeUp to 200 km offshore
DeploymentShip deck VTOL — no catapult
SensorEO/IR + maritime radar
Endurance7 hours continuous
Capability 04

Target Acquisition & Battle Damage Assessment

Real-time target identification, geo-location, and post-strike battle damage assessment. The SG GCS integrates ISR sensor feeds with fire control systems to close the Sense-Plan-Strike-Assess loop, enabling rapid re-engagement decisions based on live BDA imagery.

Recommended Platforms

SX30K — Tactical target acquisition
30kg-Class — Area BDA coverage
SG GCS — Sensor-to-shooter integration

Key Parameters

Geo-location accuracy< 5 m CEP
BDA latencyReal-time live feed
IntegrationFire control system API
CoordinationMulti-platform sensor fusion
Capability 05

Communication Relay & BLOS Operations

VTOL platforms equipped with communication relay payloads extend operational range for ground forces and other UAVs operating beyond direct radio line-of-sight. Relay nodes can be pre-positioned or dynamically repositioned to maintain continuous data links across complex terrain.

Recommended Platforms

30kg-Class VTOL — Communication relay node
150kg-Class VTOL — Long-endurance relay
SG GCS — Network topology management

Key Parameters

Relay altitude500–3,000 m AGL
Range extensionUp to 200 km BLOS
ProtocolsUHF / L-band / SATCOM
Simultaneous linksMulti-platform relay
Capability 06

Aerial Mapping, Photogrammetry & LiDAR Survey

High-precision aerial mapping for military terrain analysis, post-disaster damage assessment, urban planning, and infrastructure documentation. LiDAR and photogrammetry payloads generate centimeter-accurate 3D models and orthomosaic maps compatible with standard GIS workflows.

Recommended Platforms

30kg-Class VTOL — Mapping payload platform
150kg-Class VTOL — LiDAR survey platform
SG GCS — Automated survey routing

Key Parameters

Mapping accuracy< 5 cm GSD
Coverage rateUp to 200 km²/sortie
Output formatsGeoTIFF, LAS, OBJ, DXF
Sensor optionsRGB / multispectral / LiDAR

Mission-Configurable
Sensor Suite

All VTOL platforms feature modular payload bays supporting rapid sensor swaps between missions. Six sensor options cover every ISR requirement — from tactical EO/IR surveillance to SAR all-weather radar and precision LiDAR mapping.
