Description

Non-Governmental and private organizations and sovereign actors alike use the C4EYE UAS for a myriad of applications such as Search and Rescue, wildfire containment and mitigation, pipeline and infrastructure monitoring, ISR missions, conflict zone surveillance, convoy and transportation support, perimeter monitoring, border monitoring,  environmental monitoring, anti-poaching, wildlife observation, remote sensing research and ice flow dynamics. A myriad of other sensors, options and communications reach, capability and security extensions are available on these systems.

Bramor C4EYE GCS

The vehicle is comprised of a blended wing body modular airframe, with the emphasis on the smallest possible takeoff weight, advanced aerodynamics, electric propulsion, completely autonomous operation, endurance, turbulent air penetration and stability, ergonomic and user-friendly ground control station, durability and mobility. The airframe is made of advanced composite materials (Kevlar/Carbon/Vectran) that provide a high level of survivability and no radar signature.

Eye-x HD2

The stabilized C-Astral EYE-X family of gimbals provides electro-optical CCD and state of the art un-cooled micro-bolometer based thermal imaging capabilities with the optional laser illuminator

The system consists of the air vehicle with an EYE-XHD2 sensor, a foldable portable takeoff catapult and rugged ground control station. The system is highly mobile and fits into a MILSPEC, rain-resistant backpack with the GCS embedded industry-standard rugged package and is designed for fast deployment, flight-ready in less than five minutes. It can be safely operated by a single operator/pilot in command, although a two-person crew is preferable.

* Flight endurance measured at ICAO standard atmosphere conditions (15 °C / 1013,25 hPa / winds calm), depends on UAS configuration/system weight.
