LAUNCH FLARES mated with ScanEagle climbs vertically to altitude (500′ AGL), dashes into the wind, and releases ScanEagle into fixed-wing flight (<5 minutes). FLARES returns to land/ship launch point In case of an aborted launch, FLARES returns and lands vertically with ScanEagle still attached. RECOVERY FLARES takes off vertically tethered, hosting capture rope into the air (~300′). ScanEagle catches on vertical line via wing hook (<5 min) FLARES descends as the capture rope is wheeled onto the winch in MARS (Mast Augmented Recovery System) and ScanEagle settles onto the top of the mast. Unloaded FLARES lands. Ready for Battle Management Systems ScanEagle’s open architecture enables rapid integration with third‑party mission and battle‑management systems. Onboard autonomy includes automatic target recognition trained on decades of computer vision expertise, detect and advise, and other capabilities designed for one-to-many UAS operations. Resilient in the Harshest Environments ScanEagle delivers next-generation survivability for today’s and tomorrow’s contested, denied, and degraded airspace with autonomous and visual navigation, GPS-jam resilient guidance, adaptive RF switching, weather avoidance, and automated airspace safety (including DAA). Game-Changing Range, Endurance, and Capacity ScanEagle delivers 18+ hours of endurance, 17 lb payload capacity, and over-the-horizon SATCOM for persistent detection, classification, tracking, and targeting. Its VTOL kit enables expeditionary operations without sacrificing range, payload capacity, or power. Flexible Operations From Front Lines or Rear Positions ScanEagle’s endurance, range, and flexible launch/recovery enable operations from almost anywhere. The FLARES VTOL kit supports expeditionary ops with a small packout, set up and launched in 30 minutes by two operators. Rail launcher and Skyhook deliver runway‑independent ops from forward or established sites – no aircraft modifications required. Ultimate VTOL Portability and Self-Sufficiency FLARES VTOL kit enables rapid repositioning and tight‑space ops on land or at sea. Its small, transportable footprint supports island‑hopping, ship‑to‑shore, and other point‑to‑point missions, and it’s available to current ScanEagle users with no aircraft modifications. Optimized for Challenging Shipboard Operation Born from decades of maritime ops, ScanEagle with the FLARES VTOL kit is hardened for heavy seas, high winds, and tight shipboard spaces, launching from small‑vessel helicopter decks even in high pitch and roll. Truly Interoperable with Common Ground Control Station Insitu’s compact, modular cGCS minimizes footprint and maximizes interoperability. Configurable for vehicle, land, or shipboard use, it supports SATCOM, LOS control, and non‑Insitu UxVs. Trusted Performance With 1.5M+ combat operational hours and continuous land and maritime deployments since 2004, ScanEagle is battle‑proven with U.S. and international forces in harsh, contested environments. Ready for Joint Operations Compliant with relevant NATO and industry standards to allow interoperability across joint, coalition, and allied forces.
