ADASI and Insitu Work Together on Development of ISR UAVs

Abu Dhabi Autonomous Systems Investments Company (ADASI) and Insitu have entered into a partnership for providing support towards the development of Insitu’s intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) unmanned aircraft (UAS) and related products and services.

The president of Insitu explained that the primary intention of collaborating with ADASI was to strengthen their presence in the Middle East and also look at expanding the ISR systems in other international markets.

The collaboration is expected to support the developmental activities of the Scan Eagle and Integrator UAS from Insitu. These UAS are designed to tolerate extremes of environmental conditions and expeditionary environments. The Scan Eagle since its deployment into the Middle East has achieved the distinction of completing more combat flight hours than any other tactical UAS. The UAS from Insitu provide features such as stay on station time of more than 24 h, ISR coverage in environments which blind other UAS, ability to carry a payload up to 37.5 lbs and the ability to conduct broad area surveillance aided by synthetic-aperture radar. Some of the other aircrafts that are part of the UAS family from Insitu are Night Eagle and Inceptor. Insitu boasts of a total of 5500 combat flight hours in the UAS section.
