Hensoldt and Bulgarian firm Dronamics will collaborate on integrating an airborne early warning (AEW) system on the Black Swan long-range cargo unmanned aircraft system (UAS), according to a 12 February press release from Hensoldt.<\/p>\n

As part of the partnership, Hensoldt’s intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) system, which includes a MissionGrid suite with MissMarvin mission management software and PrecISR synthetic aperture radar (SAR) will be integrated into the Dronamics NATO-designated Class 3 UAS.<\/p>\n

Demonstrations planned for 2026 will be followed by \u201coperational deployment with a focus on strengthening Europe’s capabilities along the Eastern Flank, Mediterranean, and the Atlantic\u201d, as per the release.<\/p>\n

Dronamics’ Black Swan cargo UAS is a \u201c100% made in Europe platform\u201d, it added.<\/p>\n

The Black Swan UAS has a payload of 350 kg, a range of 2,500 km, and a cruising speed of 200 km\/h and can either be remotely piloted or automated, according to Dronamics. The UAS is operated using a mobile ground control station (GCS) with satellite communications (satcom).<\/p>\n

Hensoldt’s MissionGrid is a network of radar and electro-optical sensors combined with data fusion applications. It can be integrated on fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and UASs, and is used by air and naval forces, law enforcement, and for border protection operations, as previously reported by Janes<\/em> . MissionGrid can be \u201cexpanded for aircraft operations in contested, hostile, or GPS-denied airspace\u201d, according to the system’s technical specifications. This includes protection from ballistic, radio frequency (RF), and optically guided weapons. <\/p>\n

Hensoldt’s PrecISR is a family of X-band (NATO I-\/J-band, 8\u201312 GHz) gallium nitride (GaN)-based active electronically scanned array (AESA) airborne surveillance radars, according to <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
