Explore a selection of Arctic Horizons’ innovative solutions below:
Piglet MUAS
The Piglet MUAS stands out as a highly agile platform, featuring a distinctive tilt-rotor mechanism that offers superior control compared to conventional gimbal systems. Its modular payload design allows for versatility,making it suitable for a variety of military and civilian uses.
This adaptable platform can be outfitted with electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), as well as for infrastructure assessments, security, and monitoring tasks. A tethering feature enables the Piglet to maintain a persistent operational capability at heights of up to 80 meters, ideal for public event oversight and perimeter security.
With its extensive modularity, the Piglet can accommodate nearly any sensor payload required by users, including multispectral imaging devices and chemical/radiation detectors. It can also function as a mothership for smaller nano-UAS. The aircraft is equipped with an AES-256 encrypted datalink that is protected against electronic warfare, and it integrates seamlessly with Battle Management Systems (BMS) and ATAK, ensuring compatibility with existing defense frameworks.
Stictia
Stictia is a compact, attritable UAS that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, complete with a rugged carrying case that doubles as a charger and tactical camera payload. This highly portable dual-use UAS is perfect for covert ISR operations, emergency responses, search and rescue (SAR), and environmental monitoring.
Thanks to its advanced swarming technology, multiple Stictia units can coordinate to cover larger areas and provide multi-angle situational awareness. Equipped with real-time object recognition and target tracking capabilities, the UAS swarm enhances the effectiveness of field operators, facilitating informed decision-making.
Falconet
Falconet represents a complex aerial counter-UAS solution, designed for precise target trajectory calculations and effective engagement of low-altitude, high-speed threats.With advanced onboard detection systems and the ability to deploy various ballistic countermeasures, it can swiftly neutralize a wide array of modern drone challenges.
This robust system is adaptable to various challenging environments, including both terrestrial and aquatic settings. Its advanced swarming capabilities allow multiple units to operate in concert, covering different directions or providing comprehensive surveillance over extensive areas.
Peregrine UAS
Initially developed as a loitering munitions platform, the Peregrine UAS has evolved into a dual-use system capable of carrying EO/IR sensors for enhanced intelligence gathering and situational awareness, both day and night. With speeds reaching up to 500 km/h, it is indeed ideally suited for rapid deployment in emergencies and remote locations.
This high-speed, long-range platform excels in border and perimeter security, as well as supporting law enforcement and firefighting operations, such as tracking suspects and identifying fire hotspots. It can also assist in mapping and environmental monitoring, operating autonomously in GPS-denied areas to collect data in hard-to-reach locations.
Military-Grade Ground Control Systems
Arctic Horizons’ military-grade ground Control Systems (GCS) are engineered to deliver secure and user-friendly command and control for UAVs and robotic systems. They feature seamless map integration, real-time telemetry, and reduced cognitive load for operators. Built on the STANAG 4586-compliant UNIFY OS, this hardware-agnostic platform supports a diverse range of airframes and payloads, customizable to meet specific mission needs.
Tactical GCS options include:
- Large tablet: Designed for complex missions requiring enhanced data management.
- Small Tablet: A portable solution for straightforward UAV operations and rapid deployment.
- Worldwide Remote Control: compatible with both tablet options.
- Group 1 UAV Datalink: A secure radio link with frequency hopping for short to medium-range communications.
- Group 2 UAV Datalink: An advanced digital link featuring phased-array antennas for long-range operations.
