NT 150 Tactical UAV Fixed Wings (ISTAR)

The NT 150 is a flexible, highly capable tactical unmanned aircraft system (UAS), for military and homeland security applications. The NT 150 UAS is designed to support “Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance” (ISTAR).

The system is based on an open architecture modular design, able to carry multiple payloads. Its configuration can be easily adjusted to suit any operational requirement. The UAV is entirely designed and made out of composite materials, providing the highest load per empty weight ratio.

NT 150 is designed for conventional runway takeoff and landing and standard launch procedures. The UAV is equipped with an emergency parachute, which is activated in case of flight safety violations as well as special landing tactics during a regular flight if required.

The NT 150 is a twin boom pushing configuration aircraft that makes NT 150 the platform for different EO equipment. EO equipment is positioned in the front of the fuselage to have a clear view with low vibration levels and without engine exhaust gases that could damage the equipment. The aerodynamics of NT 150 is optimized for maximum fuel efficiency and extended flight endurance as well as a great speed range for various mission profiles.

The design of all aircraft components allows quick and easy assembling and disassembling of the aircraft. The large fuselage panels allow easy access to the fuselage compartments in order to change equipment and maintain the engine. The modular design of the aircraft allows quick adjustment for any required mission profile.

The NT 150 has an all composite structure that provides highest load per empty weight ratio. The composite material consists of carbon, agamid and glass fibre with vacuum bag technology, resin infusion and hand lay up method. With this advanced technology we achieve a strong, light and durable structure. The finish coat is an acrylic paint, which has a high UV resistance. The glossy surface also gives a lower drag for the aircraft.

Our team that designed and realized the production of NT 150 consists of aerospace engineers and production specialists with vast experience from the aircraft composite industry. Most sophisticated design methods like Fluent, Patran/Nastran and CATIA were used during design stage for the aircraft.

Digital maps, high resolution images or satellite images can be used for special mission planning. UAVision is also capable of creating 3D maps (Rapid Mapping) for the area where the drone is in mission use. This map created with i3D can be individually updated with every pass of the drone and is therefore able to display all changes in appearance to previous flights.

The ground control station (GCS 1000) allows repeatedly the displaying of complete and whole flight missions for night flight evaluations, simulation or educational purposes. Flight patterns and routes can be changed at any time during flight.


UASystems Mission Planning, Monitoring and Real-Time Mapping within a Virtual Globe Environment

The UAVision is geospatially enabled software and hardware solution supporting all phases of typical monitoring and surveillance missions with UAVs. The UAVision solution combines stateoftheart collaborative virtual globe technologies with advanced geospatial imaging techniques and new wireless data link technologies supporting the combined and highly reliable transmission of digital video, highresolution still imagery and mission control data over extended operational ranges.

The UAVision enables the planning, simulation, monitoring and rapid mapping of UAV missions in applications for areas such as monitoring of forest fires, border patrol or pipeline inspection, etc.

The UAVision is on going project expertise in the following fields: – Virtual globe technologies and UAV based geospatial imaging – UAV platform design and UAV turnkey system solutions – Digital wireless solutions for surveillance – Integrated camera design, ultra low delay video compression, highresolution video compression, still picture compression technologies

The UAVision Software allows to plan and execute simple as well as complex missions in an easy way. During and after the mission, the Software makes it easy to capture and analyze the mission data. The first prototypes of UAVision components have undergone successful test flights.

UAVision (Optional)


UAVision System, Hardware

1. UAV Platform Hardware – Unidirectional high bandwidth video transmission stream (downstream) – UAV control system (GPS data, control of motors, etc.) in full duplex

2. Ground Station Hardware – High bandwidth video reception – Controls of the UAV (direction, configuration of video, control of cameras)

3. Wireless Data link with two separate video and image streams:(a) Dedicated video stream to the pilot with ultra short delay (realtime) This stream has a realtime constraint of max. 40 ms endtoend delay to increase the maneuverability of the UAV. The virtual piloting applications have a constant transmission time delay range of ±5 ms between the pilot’s camera and the reception module output.

(b) Various imagery streams for analysis, image integration, and mapping These streams are required for the georegistration process in the imagery data processing chain but, however, do not need realtime transmission. Therefore, the GPS time of the trigger event is incorporated in the image. This is to transmit the streams, then a multiplexer merges them into a unique stream according to strategies defined for the specific mission.


UAVision Imaging Data Link – Embedded multi-streams vision system

Support for multiple imaging streams – 1 or 2 pilot cameras (realtime view, two different views or stereo if desired) – 2 or 3 imaging sensors (HD, IR …): handling / compression by Inmovis platform – Additional (geo) sensors

Camera control during flight (e.g. zooming, switching on/off)

Handling of stream priorities (e.g. pilot streams with higher priority)


UAVision System, Software (5 Core modules)

1. Mission Planning & Simulation ModuleThe virtual globe technology i3D enables you to see and control the operational area and the flight path in a threedimensional overview at any time. This allows easy recognition and obstacles avoidance as well as test flying your mission in real time.

2. Mission Control ModulePreviously planned missions can be automati cally repeated while critical parameters are getting updated simultaneously. Operator can intervene the course of mission at any time.

3. Virtual piloting with Overlay Generator ModuleIf visibility conditions are poor, switch to the virtual view and fly your UAV in the virtual globe in real time while additional information such as an artificial horizon, status information, and/or aviation obstacles are directly superimposed on the display screen.

4. Augmented & Virtual Monitoring ModuleA live video stream from UAV can be projected on the terrain of the virtual globe. Any abnormalities in the video are remarked by operator on the virtual globe instantly, giving immediate geographic reference to the event in the video. This helps to make decisions during the mission or post analysis.

5. Rapid Mapping ModuleImagery data which was captured just minutes ago are integrated directly into the virtual globe by this Module. This always ensures to have the most uptodate data, allowing the UAV operator to correctly judge and analyze the current situation and to draw the right conclusions.

Transponder (Optional)

The transponder can help you to open ATC controlled airspace for your product, by making the UAV visible to ATC controllers. The UAV operator will be able to enter an ID code given by ATC, into the T2000UAVS, to make the UAV uniquely identifiable. Transponder capability will make your UAV visible to TCAS operators, which affords great safety for commercial aircraft operators. The transponder will reply to all mode A and mode C interrogations, and will accept barometric altitude Gray scale (Gillham Code) data.
