Home Systems ORBITER® 5

Platform Overview

The ORBITER 5 UAS platform enables a new paradigm in UAS mission performance by providing MALE mission capabilities in a tactical UAS solution.
The result is a high performance, extended range, multi mission, multi payload, and all in a cost-effective tactical category solution.

The ORBITER 5 will revolutionize how ISTAR mission implementation will be performed both on the tactical and strategic levels. The ORBITER 5 was designed to enable fast mission preparation time and simple assembly in the field including the ability to launch multiple platforms in a matter of minutes.

ORBITER^® 5

Delivering high-endurance MALE capabilities in a cost-effective tactical UAS with a best-in-class logistical footprint, the Orbiter® 5 is able to carry multiple payloads operating simultaneously and supply them with significant power (600W).

Built for quick response and high flight production rate, this runway-independent system requires no permanent infrastructure and enables single-tool assembly for rapid deployment and turnaround, offering maximum operational flexibility. Due to this short preparation time, several UAS platforms can be launched in minutes, for time-critical targeting, identification, and surveillance tasks.

The Orbiter® 5 includes autonomous flight and recovery modes, with a fully redundant avionic system and high survivability, plus the ability to operate in adverse weather conditions.
