AeroVironment Selects Currawong Velocity ESC

Currawong Engineering is proud to continue its partnership with AeroVironment Inc. by providing the next batch of High-Performance Velocity Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC) for the company’s JUMP-20 unmanned aircraft system (UAS). The Velocity H-Series ESCs provide unparalleled vertical take-off and landing reliability and high-performance thanks to its thermal management, low impedance MOSFETs, heavy copper PCBs, ceramic capacitors and conformal coating for weather-resistant durability.

With the JUMP-20 capable of achieving 14+ hours of endurance and carrying a payload up to 13.5kg (30 lb), the quality of the ESCs powering the electric motors is paramount given the mission-critical nature of its operations. Currawong and AeroVironment celebrate a years-long relationship that has delivered the JUMP-20 UAV with unrivalled performance, reliability and competitive advantage.

About the AeroVironment JUMP-20 UAS:

The JUMP-20 UAS is an innovative vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing aircraft, purpose-built to deliver advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities through a range of sensors and customisations.

Boasting an impressive operational range of 185 kilometres (115 miles), the JUMP-20 excels in multi-mission scenarios with an ability to swiftly set up and become operational within just 60 minutes without relying on launch or recovery equipment.
