The Aerostat 330 tactical system enables continuous day and night ISR operations at 1,500 feet. The system is highly mobile and rapidly deployed. It provides high quality information gathering and accurate target allocation utilizing tri-sensor gyro stabilized payloads and GPS/INS navigation. The downlink video and interactive digital map are displayed in real time at the ground control station.
The entire system is packed and transported on a towable trailer or trucked on a container-sized platform. On location, deployment takes only 45 minutes to have full situational coverage.
Once airborne, the system can stay at 1,500 feet up to 72 hours. It is then brought down for a 30-minute helium refill and is ready to return to surveillance altitude.
The system can carry any payload up to 50 kg.
Typically, the Aerostat is fitted with a unique 3-axis stabilized Day (color)/Night (IR) payload with continuous zoom in both channels and an optional laser rangefinder.
The high accuracy of the system comes from the advanced avionics installed onboard the airborne package. It combines GPS/INS navigation that pinpoints targets as seen in video on a GIS digital map display in the ground control station. Target coordinates are directly stored and transmitted to the relevant task force via any existing C+l network.
The Aerostat 330 is operational with homeland security and military forces around the world. It has a proven record of performing efficient ISR, intelligence and communication missions while demonstrating outstanding reliability and cost effectiveness.
