Aeronautics, a leading provider of unmanned aerial systems, has officially introduced the Octoper™, a cutting-edge autonomous heavy multi-rotor tactical platform. Designed with military applications in mind, the Octoper™ boasts impressive features that promise to revolutionize aerial intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance.
Applications for the Octoper™ span aerial intelligence, battle damage assessment (BDA), search and rescue, border security, airborne mast and communications relay, and medical support. With dimensions of 1.9 meters and a maximum takeoff weight of 25 kg, it achieves up to 60 minutes of flight time (electric) or up to 4 hours with a hybrid kit.
The Octoper™ has an advanced Ground Control Station (GCS) for seamless operation and mission planning. Its multi-mission capability supports various scenarios, including target acquisition, tracking, and logistics delivery. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates with existing C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence) and ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance) systems.
Operating fully autonomously, the Octoper™ reduces operators’ workload during missions. Its military-oriented design prioritizes survivability and reliability, making it ideal for field conditions. The platform supports multiple payloads, including EO (Electro-Optical), radar, ELINT (Electronic Intelligence), and COMINT (Communications Intelligence).
