Cassidian’s DVF 2000 unmanned aircraft system will be on show at the 26-30 March Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace exhibition.
Developed by France’s Survey Copter, the catapult-launched mini-UAS offers a flight endurance of up to 2 hours, while carrying a 1kg (2.2lb) electro-optical or infrared camera. Operating range is cited as more than 30km (55nm).
“DVF 2000 provides real-time video and pictures to a mobile ground control station,” says Cassidian in a pre-show statement.
“We are actively pursuing opportunities in the field of sensors and UAS, for both military and security forces’ use,” says the company’s head of Asia-Pacific, Peter Gutsmiedl.
