AUS arrives at Le Bourget Exhibition Park with a UAV system including an A900 UAV helicopter from DCI Group, one of the most prestigious and recognized defense operators in Europe
The Spanish UAV helicopter manufacturing company Alpha Unmanned Systems (AUS) is participating this week in Euronaval 2022, the international trade fair and conference applied to naval defense and maritime security, which this year is being held in Paris from October 18th to 21st. This is one of the most important events in Europe within the defense sector, and in this case, it is very focused on the marine environment, where UAVs are in great demand.
AUS arrives at Le Bourget Exhibition Park with a UAV system including an A900 UAV helicopter from DCI Group, one of the most prestigious and recognized defense operators in Europe with a close relationship with the French Ministry of Armed Forces and with training and supply tenders at the highest level.
“DCI has been interested in Alpha and the operational capabilities of its combustion engine UAV helicopters because of their excellent data on range, flight range, ability to carry sensors and high payloads and their outstanding performance in a maritime environment, as evidenced by our recent customers in Indonesia and the Greek Navy,” said Eric Freeman, CEO of AUS.
The A900 platform (MToW < 25 kg), specifically designed for use in the Defense and Security sector, has evolved to the very demanding naval sector where its capabilities have been recognized with its acquisition by NATO navies. Capabilities derived from its reliability, robustness, high payload capacity and in-flight power generation allow it to operate with a huge range of intelligence payloads, both active and passive, as well as to act as an observer, designator and airborne pollution detector.
At the DCI booth, Alpha has installed an A900 helicopter with a 100% operational Epsilon 140Z 2G sensor that can be used from a GCase-Duo, Alpha’s multi-screen control station, and its “electronic sniffer” capable of detecting excessive levels of air pollution and retaining a legal sample, are also present at Euronaval.
