ICARUS

THE MOST VERSATILE MULTI ROLE PLATFORM

H3 ICARUS MULTI ROLE ISR PLATFORM

GAF ISR POD

FACTORY CARGO POD

The H3 ISR POD is a drop in replacement for the factory cargo pod. Role change of the platform from transportation to ISR is done with a minimum downtime.
The cost efficient ISR UPGRADE is a modular and scalable solution that comprises EO/IR, RADAR, SIGINT and LOS/BLOS data link systems.
For TKS equipped platforms, ice protection capability is preserved.

GAF STATE OF THE ART SENSOR SUITE

GAF Special Mission Department have a long working experience with a large variety of sensors and systems in different domains. Many systems have been installed and integrated into a comprehensive mission suite, allowing for sensor fusion and an intuitive working environment.

SAFRAN Euroflir 410

MULTISPECTRAL & ULTRA LONG-RANGE OBSERVATION, DAY/NIGHT, ALL WEATHER

Euroflir™ 410 operates in four spectral wavebands (TV/NIR/SWIR/MWIR), allowing it to function at standoff distance any time day or night, and quickly identify persons in danger or different kinds of threats. Thanks to its multispectral spotter, Euroflir™ 410 allows the operator to always be focused on a target while changing of spectral wavebands.

 

One of the major challenges faced by military and security forces today is the wide range of threats and missions they have to address: ISR, ISTAR, smuggling, trafficking, terrorism, search and rescue, illegal fishing, pollution, piracy, trafficking etc. They have to carry out these missions by day or night, quickly, and often in degraded visual environment.

THALES SEARCHMASTER RADAR

MULTI-ROLE AIRBORNE SURVEILLANCE RADAR

Airborne radar intelligence is a fundamental component of modern ISR capabilities. These systems offer significant advantages over traditional sensors that rely on optical range alone. They can detect small targets, whatever the weather conditions, and can cover vast areas of land or sea.

Increased operational efficiency

Operating in X-band with the latest AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Antenna) technology, the SEARCHMASTER® radar offers significant operational advantages at a weight of less than 80 kg:

  • Immediate, precise assessment of the situation on land, in the air or at sea
  • Low cost of ownership, with simplified software upgrades
  • Maximum operational availability and intelligent maintenance
  • Ability to follow the evolution of assigned missions

ISR POD SYSTEMS

PLATFORM AGNOSTIC DROP IN SOLUTION. OEM Install, or retro-fit.
For C208 GRAND CARAVAN, King Air B200/300 and other platforms.

The ISR BELLY POD is a modular system, comprising a fuselage interface, avionic bays and a large customizable fairing. For the ease of maintenance, the fairing is divided into two elements.

The fuselage interface integrates with different aircraft. It adapts to Cessna 208,  KING Air 200/300 and other platforms. It can be STC’d for dedicated customer platforms.

The ISR POD boast a modular sensors- and systems bay, accommodating a large variety of sensors. The fairing is RF transparent and can include a large radom for rotating radars, or huge antenna arrays.  At the rear, a redundant camera lift system,  including shutter doors, is integrated.
