- Triad RF Systems, a leading
designer and manufacturer of integrated radio systems and high performance RF/Microwave
amplifiers, is positioned to assist in the deployment of Bluebird Aero Systems'
SpyLite® Mini-UAS (there's a cool animated video on BAS's homepage).
Designed and manufactured by Bluebird
Aero Systems, SpyLite® is a mature, advanced, combat- proven, extended performance
electric Mini-UAS, optimized to provide covert, "over-the-hill" or extended range
real-time visual intelligence.
SpyLite is unique in its ability to fly even in severe weather, assuring high
operational availability for 3-4 hours and a communication range of over 50 km
(can be extended up to 80 km). Fully autonomous, the system delivers autonomous
ease of use and high reliability, providing a very versatile and stable ISR platform.
The Challenge:
In their long-range development stages, BlueBird's SpyLite team came up against
a critical communications challenge: how to arm it with an amplified radio that
was ultra-efficient, had good SNR and consistency over long distances, while remaining
compact and lightweight.
The Solution:
Specifically, Triad received a contract from Bluebird Aero Systems, Ltd. to equip
their UASs with Triad's THPR series integrated radio systems. Triad's THPRs have
supported many of BlueBird's record-breaking UAS link distances by delivering the
ultra-small, lightweight, range-enhanced radio links they required. These systems
contain integrated SDRs that are amplified for higher output power, to support ISR
link distances over 50 km with high band-width. A mix of several L- and S-
band and C-band versions are now being delivered to support various missions. Learn
more about our experience in our heritage and pedigree presentation.
More on Spylite:
The SpyLite system presents an ultimate solution for supporting real time video
or tactical mapping on demand missions for open area as well as urban scenarios
for military, peace keeping, low intensity conflict, HLS applications, law enforcement,
S&R, disaster management and commercial applications.
The SpyLite system can be configured to back-packed, vehicle-mounted or HQ stationary
configurations. All with Triad Amplified Radio Systems.
The SpyLite system has accumulated over 10,000 operational sorties in the service
of several international customers and has been in operational use by Israeli Forces
since 2006.
The SpyLite played an important operational role in operations "Protective Edge" &
"Brother's Keepers" with over 700 operational sorties.
