Prospector UAS
Teledyne Brown Engineering is adapting a proven system -- the KZO, currently deployed with NATO forces - for use in the U.S. and other countries. Our UAS, Prospector, will provide the Maneuver Commander with a reliable system for reconnaissance missions.
Prospector is a day-and-night, all-weather system with a field-exchangeable sensor payload to meet various mission requirements (ISR, Targeting, ECM/ESM, Communications). It is fully ground and air transportable, and can be launched and recovered without an airfield. It is capable of integration with existing and projected command-and-control components. Prospector has embedded training and a mature supportability system.
Other key features:
- Stealthy airframe (RF and IR)
- Safe & reliable catapult launch
- Parachute with air-bag landing
- Excellent payload/weight ratio (1:4.6)
- High-precision navigation
- High-precision target localization
- High-jam-resistant digital data link
- Highly automated mission planning
- Computer-aided sensor control
- Target tracking / image manipulation
- Handover operation / dual-UAV control
