JESSUP, MD – October 23, 2013 – UAV Solutions, Inc. announced today that its Phoenix 15 Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) provided live streaming video of simulated police encounters during a “Patriot Games” event held on Sunday, October 20 at The Historic Armory, Pennsylvania National Guard Headquarters in Philadelphia. The Patriot Games were a simulated hostile situation pitting one group of law enforcement officers against another.
The Phoenix 15 is a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Quad Rotor UAS, which weighs less than five pounds, fits in the palm of your hand and can be deployed in minutes – when time is of the essence – to provide users with instant situational awareness. This ultra-light UAS consists of an electro-optical aircraft, an infrared aircraft and a ground control station integrated into a tablet. The complete Phoenix system fits in a backpack specifically designed by Ehmke Manufacturing.
In addition to the Phoenix UAS, UAV Solutions also displayed the Allerion 25 VTOL Quad platform, a larger 25-lb.UAS equipped with an electro-optical camera and thermal imager in one gimbal. A tethered variant of the Allerion has a range of 250 ft., 12-hour endurance and rapid set-up capability. This tethered aircraft also has potential for the first responder community when more persistent surveillance is required.
The Phoenix and Allerion platforms are ideal for homeland security and military applications as well.
