PD-2 VTOL fixed-wing UAV features

Navigation lights

Used to prevent collisions at night or in times of reduced visibility, and are an essential tool in keeping people and UAVs safe.

Landing gear with braking system

Reduces the distance required for a runway landing.

Automatic takeoff and landing

Fully automatical remote take-off and landing without human intervention.

Automatic flight along the route

Plan the mission and execute it perfectly.

ADS-B transponder

Lets the UAV determine its position and periodically broadcast it, enabling it to be tracked.

Anti-jamming

A secure encrypted connection and the dual-datalink system ensure that UAV can’t be jammed.

PD-2 engine module

100 cc engine

4-stroke gas engine, that runs on regular A95 fuel. Consumables are available world-wide and no special fuel required.

Electric generator

300 w electric generator to power up all equipment on board and charge batteries during the flight.

Remote start

Start engine from a distance with a push of a button, even during the flight the engine can be automatically restarted by flight controller.

Integrated sensors

See status of the engine during the flight, thanks to the RPM, temperature, air temperature, fuel level and other sensors.

Muffler

Specifically designed custom muffler greatly reduces acoustic signature during the flight.

Fuel tank

Integrated 11 liters carbon fiber fuel tank to support your long-endurance missions. With mil-grade fuel valve for quick fuelling.

Advanced EO/IR/LRF ISR payloads

PD-2 UAV can carry a wide range of different payloads. We have already integrated a wide range of EO/IR payloads designed by our company and third-party companies.

USG-400 EO/IR/LRF gimbal for ISR missions

Footage of the USG-400 EO/IR/LRF gimbal installed on a PD-2 UAV. USG-400 advanced gimbal is an ideal tool for ISR applications. It is strengthened by significant ground control software allowing the payload operator to be more flexible and saving a lot of time that can be used to make a decision.

The USG-400 compact and lightweight designs are developed for different civilian and military solutions under heavy weather conditions(-40 °C ~ +55 °C). USG camera series is optimized to handle harsh conditions including shock and rapid acceleration during the flight. More about camera system on USG-400 page.

Advanced camera control software

Strix-online is specialized software developed for processing collected video information, report generation, and further transfer to external sources using API.
Strix online features include mission planning; moving live map; adding objects and obtaining their coordinates within one click; target detection, identification, and analysis; PDF report generation; transfer to an external source via API; various security protocols, and much more.

Other available payloads

LiDAR

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

Cell phone tracker (IMSI catcher)

Radio repeater

PD-2 cargo delivery modules

PD-2 UAV is capable of cargo delivery in different ways: dropdown via fuselage/wing modules or even landing the drone for load/unload and further take-off. Cargo delivery may be executed by command or at a predetermined point.

One GCS may easily operate several UAVs in rage in case if the operation needs a full cover of the area for precise data

Live streaming to multiple GCS and RVT

The necessary information is available for operators, HQ, and field troops at the same time

180 km BVLOS tracking antenna unit

 

Ground tracking antenna maximizes radio communication range between your drone and the ground control station and therefore allows to use of the maximum potential of the data link. It uses the drone position information to accurately orient the antenna in the UAV direction.

To ensure maximum reliability during the mission there are two integrated communication channels to the tracking antenna system.

The tracking antenna is equipped with a built-in video camera, which allows having visual control over your drone close to mid-range distance.
