CANTAS E (endurance)
Typical Mission: Agriculture, Industry, Patrol, Surveillance, Reconnaissance
The CANTAS
E is designed with the purpose of reaching the best endurance
characteristics. This member of the CANTAS family is equipped with two electric
motors in a combination with an internal combustion engine. Such combination
allows our UAS to fly 18 hours in an economy mode while a high power engine
mode provides the ability of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL). Thanks to an
innovative on-board software, CANTAS is able to execute a fully autonomous
flight or it can be manually controlled through a ground control station. With
the maximum payload weight of 10 kg (22 lbs), various types of sensor systems
and associated recording devices can be installed. To achieve the best results,
it is necessary to determine the main purpose of CANTAS in regard on mission
requirements.

TYPICAL
MILITARY MISSIONS
Both the
unique flight characteristics of CANTAS E and the right combination of an
additional payload make our UAV ideal for borders patrolling, surveillance and
reconnaissance missions. For example, equipping with high-definition day and
night cameras allows to monitor vast areas of borderland and track people and
vehicles from 500 to 3 000 m (1 640 ft – 9 840 ft) above the ground. A laser
rangefinder helps to determine the distance of the objects and a laser pointer
can illuminate a point of interest.
TYPICAL
CIVILIAN MISSIONS
Both the
autonomous flight mode and the advanced software features (mission planning,
on-line re-planning and virtual fence) allow to execute a whole task without a
constant supervision of an operator. Thanks to 18 h flight endurance
capability, CANTAS E can continuously monitor vast areas, such as fields and
forests. CANTAS E can serve as a monitoring tool in various sectors, in
particular:
Industry –
e.g. pipelines and power lines monitoring
Agriculture – e.g. livestock, water levels or crops monitoring

CANTAS types
A, E can be ideal for observing tangible structures, particular areas and
movements of enemy forces. Objects can be monitored from the maximum height of
3.000 m (9,800 ft) above ground. While observing, CANTAS can simultaneously provide
additional information such as weather conditions or terrain maps. Operator can
decide whether CANTAS executes a mission autonomously following a predefined
path or it is manually controlled. Switching between these two modes during a
flight is possible.
Thanks to the
18 h endurance, long-range or long-time missions, such as border patrolling,
can be easily accomplished by CANTAS E. Ground control station receives video
data as well as telemetry in real time.

CIVILIAN
APPLICATIONS
CARGO
TRANSPORT
CANTAS can
carry a payload of 10 kg (22 lbs) and together with a vertical take-off and
landing capability, it makes our UAV ideal for transport missions. CANTAS can
take-off from any place and quickly and easily reach any landing area.
A payload is placed in a capsule which can be optionally adjusted
according to your requirements (e.g. cooling box installation). A capability of
a fully automatic operational mode and a mission planning feature provide efficient
and timely delivery.
CANTAS A is
better for short-range flights and/or when the fast transport service is
needed.
CANTAS E is better for long-range flights and/or when there is no need for a quick delivery.

CANTAS can
serve as a valuable assistant in search and rescue missions. With high
resolution video cameras for surveying, CANTAS can find a missing person and
send the exact location to ground control station. Infrared cameras can locate
people or animals even in a thick smoke and pinpoint the source of fire. With
an image comparison tool it can also provide assessment of damages caused
by natural disasters.
CANTAS A can quickly respond to any emergency situation in remote areas, while CANTAS E can effectively perform a continuous searching for as long as 18 hours.

SECURED
DATA LINK SYSTEM
Image: newspacetechnologies.cz
Our data link
was evolved with the future in mind. Its robust system is essential for both
the secured information flow and the reliable UAV remote controlling. An
important characteristic of the data link communication system is its technical
feasibility to any UAV.
Telemetry and
video data transfer between UAV and ground station is ensured through our
innovative data link communication system with a range up to 100 km. The
information flow is secured through both the telemetry channel and the data
communication channel. The telemetry channel (up to 1 GHz, but typically
(430 – 470 MHz) is designed for a bidirectional data
flow while the video data communication channel (up to 7 GHz, typically 2.2-2.4
GHz) ensures only one-way data transfer (Air » Ground). At customer’s
request, a bandwidth configuration is available. The Advanced Encryption
Standard crypt is used for secured data transfer between UAV and GCS. As
an AES key size 256 bit is applied, no-one can reach your important data unless
you allow it.
Thanks to 100 km (62 mi.) range of communication, you can receive combined data and control your UAV and its payload even in remote areas. Signal receiving is possible from any direction thanks to an antenna system 360° coverage in azimuth.
