Pilot optional for L-3’s new Mobius aerial vehicle

Long-established as a major supplier of systems for a wide range of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) programs, L-3 Communications is moving up a step to offer complete unmanned air systems, including vehicle platforms. Blending the group’s existing elements with carefully chosen acquisitions has put L-3 in a position from where it can span the entire UAS market space with fully integrated solutions.

In August, L-3 (Hall 4 Stand B15) is expected to formally launch its Mobius optionally piloted aircraft (OPA). Mobius began as an internal project to bring all the UAV-related technologies in the L-3 group into a single technology demonstration tool, backed up by a virtual engineering organization. Some 23 L-3 businesses are directly involved. As the program came together, it became obvious that Mobius could fill an empty niche in the UAV market.
