BACKGROUNDAirborne ISR roles are changing at unprecedented rates. Revolutionary technological advances have changed how we gather and convert information into actionable Intelligence, allowing us to track, manage and neutralize threats with greater efficiency.

Our airborne ISR solutions provide game-changing persistent situational awareness: our Tactical Airborne Systems provide a Strategic Advantage in all environments. Our state-of-the-art IDMASINT platforms have ultra high performance target acquisition and tracking sensors, high-definition information gathering and threat mapping systems, comprehensive ELINT SIGINT/COMINT equipment, and can be weaponized for threat interdiction missions.

ShadowAir platforms are manufactured to the strictest tolerances for superior performance, maximum reliability, durability in all environments, and economy of service. Our aircraft are designed “to protect and serve from above”.

CAPABILITY Each "Dual-Mode" aircraft can be flown in either manned or unmanned mode (UAS), providing an ultra high performance platform that is highly effective, safer and more cost effective. Crews can fly a manned mission, land, and then fly the same aircraft in un- manned mode (UAS) from a Ground Control Station (GCS).

One very unique feature of the aircraft is the capability to be disassembled, transported via ISO container, and then be rapidly assembled at destination. This modular concept allows damaged major components to be quickly and easily replaced in the field.

Covert missions are safely made in engine-off glider mode since our 5 second engine re-start capability and optional electric backup propulsion system provide ample safety margins for silent glider operations.

Our EPV (Electric Propulsion Vehicle) platform provides extreme stealth and performance while producing no carbon emissions and a very low thermal signature. Currently in development, EPV platforms will be available for purchase Q2 of 2012.

STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE

We use a real-time computer vision system that automatically detects and tracks moving targets below our platforms, analyses the high definition imagery and alerts operators to small and often-times undetected moving targets. Our Talon platform is ideal for surveillance in mountainous and urban locations, able to detect and track objects that remain unseen by the human eye.

Our terrain surveillance software enables sensors to detect andtrack moving targets on the ground below our platforms. We canmaintain wide area surveillance due to a unique ability to detectand track very small, slow-moving objects from considerable dis-tances below our platforms. Our solution enables operators to de-tect and track these objects even in well-camouflaged mountain-ous or dense urban locations.

GROUND CONTROL

The heart of Cooperative Flight is the Virtual Pilot. It is a computer that performs the airborne tasks required for complex tactical flight. The Virtual Pilot allows one operator to control up to 12 unmanned aircraft and 20 additional sensors or ground control stations.

This capability is a significant advantage over traditional existing unmanned systems which require one pilot to fly each individual aircraft.

In essence, the operator functions as a mission commander, while the Virtual Pilot flies the aircraft and continuously performs routine flight tasks. The software frees the operator to focus on higher priority mission objectives such as mission changes and multi-sensor and weapons management.

MOBILE COMMAND

Utilizing the best of operational mission systems, a squadron of up to 12 Talons can be controlled by one pilot operator. When missions are run from inside another aircraft, the tactical options become limitless.

One possible scenario might include sensitive payload being delivered inside a large transport plane. Havoc Systems can be used to provide a realtime, high definition risk map of the flight path over land, sea, and air. Programming the flight path of several Talons to silently collect information before, during, and post-flight will minimize risk of land and sea based attack and undesirable monitoring. Communication and Tracking Countermeasures can be deployed on Talon craft, further hampering the ability of undesirables to gather information or affect each mission .

COMMUNICATIONSThe system allows the UAV to be operated manually by remote control or as a completely autonomous UAV. There are two separate communication links: a satellite link with bandwidth for image transmission and an RF link for flight parameter and control signal monitoring and adjustment. The links are independent of each other.

The GCS receives data and alert signals from the UAV communication module. The Operator selects manual or autonomous mode. The UAV can autonomously navigate to loiter on-station.

The subsystem was developed based upon a neuro-fuzzy controller that constantly evaluates inputs from on-board flight instruments and maneuvers the UAV as desired. The navigation system is integrated with the machine vision system and executes predefined maneuvers triggered by situational parameters.

Integration of the navigation and communication module allows the ground crew to assert control of the flight at any time. Flights can be autonomous or semi-autonomous as dictated by mission requirements.
