SDO 50 Helicopter UAV
The SDO 50 is a state-of-the-art unmanned helicopter with a flight endurance of over 3 hours and the ability to operate day or night in adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow and wind speeds of up to 21 knots.
Based around a proprietary Flettner intermeshing double rotor design, the SDO 50 offers enhanced payload capacity and flight stability.
The VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) system is highly cost-effective compared to manned aerial solutions, and requires less training to operate confidently. The rapidly deployable aircraft is transportable by van and can be prepared for flight by a team of two in just 15 minutes.
The SDO 50 UAV is equipped with an advanced autopilot and high-performance GPS receiver and magnetometer, with optional redundant systems. The aircraft’s datalink consists of a primary S-band link and a secondary UHF-band link, with additional LTE/4G capabilities available upon request.
The standard data link range of 40 km of the SDO 50 can be further extended upon demand for longer-range missions.
The helicopter UAV is controlled via a rugged portable GCS (ground control station), which features a built-in keyboard, monitor, and 3-axis joysticks.
The SDO 50 has been successfully tested at 11,500 ft AMSL (density altitude) at -10 degree Celsius and windy conditions. During the tests the aircraft has demonstrated its feasibility for flight missions in challenging environments.
Versatile UAV for multiple (exchangeable) payloads
With its superior carrying capacity, the SDO 50 V2 can carry multiple sensors and payloads for versatile long-range mission capabilities and large flight autonomy. We offer a range of leading sensor solutions as standard.
