Raptor SAMS hybrid - Smart Aerial Monitoring System

The industry's first tethered/free-flight hybrid solution.

We go beyond the standard one-size-fits-all solution and provide military-grade systems tailored to various operational requirements. Built by a group of former military and aerospace, robotics, and software engineers, the system is developed with maximum durability, portability, and autonomy in mind, making it a robust and versatile airborne security and data collection tool.

Military-grade autonomous drone-in-a-box solution customised to meet unique ISTAR, security, mapping or inspection needs.

The Raptor SAMS-H is part of our range of portable, NDAA 848 compliant [Drone-in-a-box] systems that are available in tethered, free-flight (untethered), or as the industry’s first tethered/free-flight hybrid solution.

All autonomous, easy-to-use solutions can be automatically deployed and commanded remotely from any location around the world.

Tethered + 45 min free flight

Raptor is a first-of-its-kind hybrid solution with a versatile payload capacity that combines the unlimited flight endurance from a tether with the ability of up to 45 minutes of untethered free-flight. The system automatically untethers in air, before starting a free flight.

The ground station (“box”) is MIL-STD-810G certified and features an automated roof opening and closing system and is made from military-grade materials, making it mobile, rugged and weather resilient. The operation is simple and can be performed on-site or from a remote command center.

The system features a 300-foot data-over-power (DOP) enhanced tether with an auto-retraction mechanism that supplies constant power and resilient, unjammable two-way communication. This feature enables unlimited flight time while also transmitting HD video and telemetry, even in extreme weather conditions, and offers precise landing on the ground station even in GPS-denied environments.

Hybrid drone-in-a-box

This state-of-the-art drone predominantly operates in the tethered mode for prolonged situational awareness missions and can transition into a free flight to cover larger areas.

Following a command from an operator, a triggered alarm, or if the onboard sensors identify a pre-selected object, the tether releases for a free-flight autonomous or directed mission.

The tether is released with the deployment of a parachute once transitioning into free-flight. After its mission, the Raptor will return for a precision landing in the ground station, even in GPS-denied environments

Target detection & tracking

The Raptor UAV supports a wide range of payloads including gimballed cameras, floodlights, communications relays, loudspeakers, lidar, radar, and communications jamming systems.

For example, the Nighthawk 2-UZ delivers a full HD thermal image and provides EO/IR object tracking, geolocation, video compression, IP Streaming, video recording, LTE, and license plate recognition capabilities.

EO/IR object tracking points the camera to track a subject within the camera’s range, ensuring the object of interest never leaves the view. Geolocation captures the position of the camera, its line of sight, and extracts the location of observed objects with unprecedented accuracy.

Independent & autonomous aircraft hangar

Portable, rugged, smart, and self-sustaining base station that can be deployed from stationary or mobile platforms. The system provides comprehensive weather protection and is MIL-STD-810G certified.

The ground station’s relatively small size and weight allow it to be rapidly mobilized and deployed from stationary and mobile launch sites such as a standard pickup truck or other vehicle configuration, traveling up to 25 miles per hour. The ground station is equipped with numerous temperature sensors, system health monitors, and four cameras for 360-degree situational awareness around the deployment site.
