ALTUS LSA is a leading European developer of innovative turnkey UAS (unmanned aerial systems) solutions designed to serve mission-critical civilian and defense applications in all domains. Our expertise extends to a diverse range of operations, including ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), disaster management, GIS, infrastructure monitoring, target drones, and more.
Our customer portfolio includes a variety of leading clients around the world, including NATO, FRONTEX, the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), the European Defence Agency (EDA), the Hellenic Armed Forces, Law Enforcement and Civil Protection bodies at European Level. ALTUS LSA is highly experienced with the EU tendering process as well as the international defense industry ecosystem, and are ready to provide customers with cutting-edge unmanned aircraft systems, mission planning, and deliverables.
The Company is steadily at the forefront of innovation either through its successful presence in major EU and National Research programs or by its internal R&D plan, exploring opportunities in Artificial Intelligence and advanced C2/C3 Software under the commercial name – M3NTOR.
M3NTOR constitutes the “heart” of the GCS (Ground Control Stations) being used for managing and controlling ALTUS LSA UAS during demanding missions.
ALTUS LSA, registered as EL-UAS-TO-03, serves the aviation ecosystem through its UAS training academy under EASA regulations by HCAA. Additionally, ALTUS LSA has proudly received the Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC) from HCAA, making it one of the few companies in Europe to achieve this accreditation.
With a reconfigurable payload hub, it can be equipped to undertake a wide range of missions including military ISR, security surveillance, industrial monitoring, and precision agriculture.
The versatile UAS can be equipped with a variety of payloads and equipment, including an EO/IR gimbal with laser rangefinder, optical gas sensors, high-powered spotlights, parachute safety systems, and cargo release mechanisms. Like the rest of ALTUS Systems, it has been precision-engineered with a rugged design and offers AES- 128 or 256 encrypted communications.
The System redundancy and reliability offered by its 8 extremely powerful motors along with its robust design and sophisticated modular payload bay make ATLAS 8 a platform with unlimited potential. Beyond heavy freight transport, the on-board industry-leading advanced control systems will allow precise mid-air deployment of passive or active cargo making it a perfect candidate for a wide range of weapon systems and resupply operations.
Currently under development, the Hybrid variant of the ATLAS 8 octocopter platform utilizes a combined battery and internal combustion engine propulsion system to enable longer endurance of up to 3 hours and transportation of heavy loads of up to 100 kg.
The aircraft combines the maneuverability of VTOL platforms with the range and efficiency of fixed-wing flight, and utilizes a hybrid propulsion system consisting of a gasoline engine with built-in generator for continuous in-flight battery charging.
The ALTUS Drone Hangar is an all-in-one solution for the storage, maintenance and autonomous operation of multirotor UAVs. It allows the drone to take off, land and return without human intervention, and also provides recharging capabilities to ensure constant readiness. Operators can monitor the system remotely to adjust flight plans and mission parameters as required.
