Defense (GS390): built for more than survey
The systems that matter on ISR and security missions: what you can see on the aircraft, and what sits inside it.
On the aircraft
- Long-lifespan propulsion systemHigh-quality materials and precision machining, with data feedback for a preventive-maintenance programme.
- Control surface actuatorReliable CAN bus, feedback insight and an algorithm for failure detection and isolation.
- Multi-frequency, multi-constellation GNSS receiverAdvanced interference-mitigation technology protects against both jamming and spoofing attacks.
- ISR mission: EO/IR with LRF (swappable payload)Onboard AI processing on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin, with integrated support for future visual-aided navigation.
Inside the airframe
- GNSS-aided inertial navigation systemPrecise navigation that significantly improves reliability in GNSS-denied environments.
- Datalink encryption and authenticationHigh-bandwidth video streaming with anti-jamming and interference mitigation, engineered for critical SAR and ISR missions.
- ADS-B mode IN/OUT (option)
- Support for professional aerial-survey sensorsFull-frame 61 MP, medium-format, multispectral and LiDAR systems.
Eight layers of fail-safe
Motor out, a faulty wing servo, spoofed GNSS: every case has an automatic response engineered by ICS.
See every safety system
01No single point of failure
02Motor out, still in control
03Wing or tail fault: it knows, and flies home
04Sudden height loss, soft emergency landing
05Low battery, high wind or weak GNSS: it comes home on its own
06GNSS spoofing protection and encrypted control
07Mountain terrain, no collisions
08Obstacle ahead: it turns back (optional)
