A tactical drone for surveillance


PHAETON 200 by ASMAN Technology integrates all the components of a surveillance system :

  • A tactical aerial drone developed on the basis of a specific platform; with 50kg of payload and 8h of autonomy, it is it is particularly suitable for surveillance missions. It is designed in France for export missions
  • A suite of on-board sensors (gyrostabilized electro-optics with day and infrared thermal camera, goniometers, AIS for real-time position of ships)
  • A bidirectional and high-speed datalink allowing control from the ground of the on-board camera and piloting of the drone.
  • A range of ground stations (portable ROVER-type receivers, movable dual-screen station, integrated into a shelter, etc.) that can be interfaced with a chain of command.
