Tactical Aerial Reconnaissance for Modern Military Forces: The Grand Eagle II exercise

Challenges

Modern military operations require real-time intelligence and situational awareness to enable swift, accurate decision-making. However, many currently deployed systems, such as MIKADO and ALADIN, are outdated and lack the necessary range, endurance, and adaptability. These systems are restricted by limited communication and sensor technologies, making them unsuitable for today’s complex, dynamic combat scenarios. Particularly for medium-range reconnaissance missions, military forces need robust, reliable platforms that can cover extended operational distances while providing high-quality intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). The inability to modernize these systems poses significant risks to mission capability, especially for the medium forces responsible for ensuring NATO’s eastern security.

 

Our Solution

The Vector closes the capability gap in tactical aerial reconnaissance by offering a highly versatile, robust, and advanced solution. The Vector is specifically designed to meet the demands of modern military forces, delivering long-range ISR with a flight time of up to 3 hours and a range of 30 kilometers. Its cutting-edge EO/IR dual sensor gimbal provides unparalleled clarity in both day and night operations, ensuring real-time, high-resolution imagery. Seamlessly integrated into existing Battlefield Management Systems (BMS), the Vector allows for interoperability across various command levels, enhancing the flow of information from platoon to battalion. During international military exercises, the Vector showcased its ability to deliver precise, live reconnaissance data, improving tactical decision-making and enabling more effective coordination between infantry, artillery, and reconnaissance units. By modernizing outdated systems, the Vector ensures that medium forces maintain operational superiority, adapting swiftly to evolving threats on the battlefield.
