Honeywell Aerospace will supply compact satellite communications technology for the Nuuva V300 and V20 unmanned freight VTOL aircraft being developed by Pipistrel, as well as for the new Surveyor fixed-wing surveillance platform. The August 16 announcement builds on an existing partnership between the companies that has already seen Pipistrel select the U.S. group's compact fly-by-wire system for the V300, in addition to its Attitude Heading Reference System and Air Data Module.
At just 2.2 pounds, Honeywell’s Small UAV Satcom system weighs 90 percent less than the company’s next-smallest connectivity system, yet it brings the same capabilities enjoyed by larger aircraft to the Nuuva V300, V20, and Surveyor. The V300 will offer a payload of 1,010 pounds and a range of more than 186 miles, while the smaller V20 model will have a payload of just 44 pounds. The Surveyor can be fitted with a variety of sensors and cameras for applications such as wildlife management, coastal patrol, traffic monitoring, and search-and-rescue missions.
