Innocon’s MicroFalcon completes Multi UAV test flights
Multi UAV configuration successfully demonstrated change of UAVs over the target
Israel, July 5th 2011…Innocon’s MicroFalcon mini UAS has completed flight testing with the Multi UAV configuration. The Multi UAV enables the user to operate the system over a target with a continuous coverage at both day and night operation.
Both UAVs are controlled and monitored during the whole time from a single ground control station. In addition, Innocon’s Ground Control Station allows the user to switch between the video images of both UAVs.
The MicroFalcon is a mini UAS is a high performance, simple yet sophisticated miniature unmanned aerial system, designed to be hand carried by two crew members to the operation zone, deployed in minutes, and operate day and night to give the user excellent coverage of the targets and point of interest for reconnaissance, surveillance and other intelligence missions. The MicroFalcon is designed to operate in extreme weather, under the most demanding conditions, with duration of up to 4 hours and ceiling of 15,000 feet altitude.
Since its inception in 2001, INNOCON Ltd. has been developing and manufacturing UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) ranging from micro-UAVs weighing a mere 6 kg to 1000 kg full-size UAVs, equipped with the company’s proprietary command and control systems. The company delivers either complete systems or major sub-systems.
INNOCON’s technological advantages are clearly demonstrated in the superior performance of its core command and control technology on all company UAVs. Combined and interoperable onboard and ground-based computers feature modular software, enabling unprecedented levels of flight, take-off and landing control capabilities.
These technological achievements offer clients the advantages of a cost effective, flexible and varied use of their own platforms. These advantages include the option to operate a small and economical UAV for missions normally associated with large and heavy UAVs, the use of a particularly lightweight UAV for missions that demand flight altitudes and durations normally associated with much larger and heavier UAVs, UAV take-off and landing capability on unpaved and uneven terrain, and superior UAV-to-payload weight ratios.
Company clients include leading defense companies Elbit Systems and BAE Systems. INNOCON’s developed and manufactured UAVs are in service in the U.S., South America and Israel as well as in numerous Asian and African countries.
