Easy Aerial Launches Next-Generation Advanced Ground Stations for Civilian and Military Applications
Easy Aerial, a leading provider of autonomous drone-in-a-box solutions for enterprise and military applications, today announced Easy Guard Vehicle (EGV), a new line of ultra-portable models of its field-proven and battle-tested unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ground stations.
Available in three sizes, EGV builds on Easy Aerial’s MIL-STD-810G system, a certified smart, mobile and rugged drone-in-a-box solution currently deployed in a wide variety of applications worldwide. The EGV was specifically designed to be installed on mobile platforms. Thanks to its small size and low weight, its UAVs can rapidly mobilize, deploy and land from any vehicle type traveling up to 25 miles per hour, on or off-road. All three systems can be integrated with manned, unmanned and optionally manned systems and are all remotely deployable from any location.
As with all Easy Guard models, EGV can be configured with a tethered, free flight or optionally tethered (untether and go) UAV, allowing it to be optimized for a wide range of payload options. All EGV models incorporate topside doors that, when opened, deploy a separate landing pad that unfolds to extend beyond the box’s footprint. This unique feature enables the system to operate a larger UAV with increased safety margins on uneven terrain and while on the move. Encrypted data links and non-GPS dependent landing capabilities ensure the systems can operate in hostile environments. All three systems feature either a 110/220v AC or 18-36v DC (MLD-STD-1275 compatible) power supply option for operating and charging the UAV.
EGV provides enterprise, government, and public safety operators with highly flexible inspection, monitoring and surveillance capabilities – even in hard to reach areas with minimal to no infrastructure. For defense organizations, EGV provides reconnaissance, real-time situational awareness for increased force protection, and communication relays for tactical maneuvering forces, special operations, and dismounted warfighters on the battlefield.
EGV 50: The smallest and lightest in the range, this model is designed for small vehicles with limited storage capacity, including light civilian and military all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and compact pickup trucks.
