USOL will launch its new K series family at UNVEX’12
Unmanned Solutions, the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) company located in Madrid announces the official presentation of its fourth generation systems, the K series family, a versatile collection of fixed wing aerial vehicles of 50-150 kg MTOW that fulfill most tactical mission applications.
The new family capitalizes on the experience acquired by Unmanned Solutions in the design and manufacturing unmanned systems since 2004, resulting in higher performance and the best useful load to maximum weight ratio in the market. The new models employ a new structural and aerodynamical design and incorporate the new electronic management system PEMS and the new SHERPA powerplant that were successfully tested in flight last winter.
The K series family includes the following four models:
The K50 is a 50 kg MTOW vehicle with 4 m wingspan and up to 20 kg of useful load. It has been specially designed for in flight testing for R&D.
The K100, available in 5 and 6 m wingspan, is a lightweight tactical system with around 100 kg MTOW. It substitutes the K2B system first released in 2010.
The K130-LM is a “Light-MALE”, 6 m wingspan and 130 kg MTOW. With endurance in excess of 20 hours and an effective ceiling of 6,500 m it constitutes an alternative to other existing systems with weights and price tags much bigger.
Finally, the K150 is the vehicle with the higher performance of the series. Its 150 kg MTOW allow it to transport 75 kg of payload and fuel with a maximum endurance in excess of 18 hours.
Unmanned Solutions will present its new family during the next UNVEX’12 exhibition which will take place in Madrid next April 23-26, showcasing a unit of the K150 in the static exhibition while a prototype of the K50 will participate in the flight demo to demonstrate its capabilities as an R&D tool.
