AR5

Long-Range Fixed-Wing UAV for Maritime Surveillance

AR5 Long-range UAS for maritime surveillance

AR5 is a medium-altitude, medium-endurance platform designed for long-range maritime missions. It supports beyond radio line-of-sight operations via high-capacity SATCOM and integrates maritime radar and a wide range of ISR payloads. Typical missions include search and rescue, maritime patrol, border surveillance, and persistent wide-area monitoring from short, unpaved airstrips.

AR5 fixed-wing naval UAS

Platform highlights:

  • Twin-engine configuration;
  • Endurance around 20 hours;
  • Payload capacity up to 50 kg;
  • Flexible architecture with managed LoS and BLoS datalink handover.

AR5 Missions and applications

  • Maritime security and wide-area surveillance; border protection, anti-smuggling, anti-piracy, and fisheries control.
  • Search and rescue coordination, pollution detection and tracking, maritime domain awareness with multi-sensor fusion.
  • Overland ISR in support of civil protection and defence tasks; persistent overwatch for critical infrastructure and transport corridors.
