An ISR drone for long endurance


PHAETON 600 by ASMAN Technology integrates all the components of ISR* system :

  • A long endurance aerial drone developed on the basis of a light aircraft, bestseller in its category; with 100 kg of payload and more than 20 hours of autonomy, it is particularly suitable for automated ISR missions over large areas (maritime surveillance of the EEZ, border surveillance, etc.)
  • Various onboard sensor suites tailored to the mission (gyrostabilised electro-optics, Radar, COMINT/ELINT, Search and Rescue)
  • The combination of a bi-directional and high-speed datalink with a satcom terminal allowing the ground control of the onboard camera and the control of the drone beyond the radio range
  • 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.
