All Weather All Electric UAV

All Weather All Electric UAV

The BML All Weather All Electric (AWAE) UAV has been developed for use in military operations in a contested area. This UAV can be used on its own, or in a multiple UAV configuration, to:

  • map or patrol an area of interest, to detect and locate pre-defined items of military interest, including troops, military vehicles, artillery and sources of RF / microwave signals
  • perform the airborne release of a smaller, networked, UAV, such as a racing drone, which can be guided to a target using a laser designator, or by an operator using FPV goggles
  • transport a payload, which can be "hot dropped" from the UAV in flight, or more carefully placed on the ground, on a structure, or on a building, by the VTOL capable UAV
  • perform a one-way, deep strike, day or night mission, in any weather condition, with each UAV carrying a 4.5 kg payload at a cruise speed of 90 kph over a range of 97 km

Our All Weather All Electric (AWAE-24) UAV has a 2.4 m wing span and just under 25 kg Maximum Take Off Weight (MTOW). It uses 4 electric lift motors to perform a Vertical Take Off and Landing, and uses a powerful pusher motor, mounted at the rear of the fuselage, during flight.

Stall speed 32 m/sec = 115 kph
Hover time 10 minutes
Max speed 27 m/sec = 97 kph
Flight time at max speed 33 mins
Range at maximum speed 99 km
Cruise speed 35 m/sec = 126 kph
Flight time at cruise 3 hrs 14 minutes
Flight time at cruise speed 407 km
Payload weight 4.5 kg

All Weather Long Range UAV

The BML AWLR UAV has a 2.4 m wing span and a 25 kg MTOW. It uses 4 electric lift motors to perform a Vertical Take Off and Landing, so it can operate from any surface, and hover in windy conditions. It uses a powerful pusher IC engine, mounted at the rear of the fuselage, during flight.

The AWLR UAV can be used on its own, or in a multiple UAV configuration, in military operations to:

  • map or patrol an area of interest, to detect and locate radio sources
  • perform the airborne release of a smaller, networked, UAV, such as a racing drone, which can be guided to a target using a laser designator, or by an operator using FPV goggles
  • transport a payload, which can be "hot dropped" from the UAV in flight, or more carefully placed on the ground, on a structure, or on a building, by the VTOL capable UAV
  • perform a one-way, deep strike, day or night mission, in any weather condition, with each UAV carrying a 5.0 kg payload at a cruise speed of 79 kph over a range of 292 km
Stall speed 21.6 m/sec = 77.8 kph
Cruise speed 30.2 m/sec = 109 kph
Flight time at cruise speed 6 hours
Range at cruise speed 647 km
Maximum speed 35.4 m/sec = 127 kph
Flight time at max speed 1 hour and 50 minutes
Range at maximum speed 240 km
Payload weight 5.0 kg
