UMS SKELDAR is a leading provider of both Rotary and Fixed Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms. Our unmanned aircraft provide solutions for a wide variety of complex requirements in the global military defence, civil security and maritime sectors.
With a highly active research and development program, we have created leading-edge capabilities for every step of a complete UAV solution, including design, manufacture, testing and training.
The SKELDAR V-200 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a flexible, versatile platform that is ideal for both land and sea operations. The fully automated VTOL aircraft features open interfaces to BMS and C4ISR systems and is 4865 STANAG compliant, making it easy to implement on board any maritime vessel for applications such as Reconnaissance, Identification, Target Acquisition and Electronic Warfare.
The SKELDAR V-200 incorporates an advanced heavy kerosene-based fuel engine, providing additional landing and take-off assurance in environments where conventional fuels are prohibited.
It can field a wide variety of payloads, including Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) high resolution Electro Optical/Infrared (EO/IR), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), LiDAR, and Electronic Warfare (EW) sensors.

Unmanned aircraft are a central part of robust, reliable intelligence gathering for maritime operations. Our multi-role UAV platforms are ideally suited to seaborne activities, including:
Search & Rescue
Our multi-platform portfolio, with Remote Pilot Station (RPS) support from air, sea or land assets, can be deployed for disaster recovery and rescue missions.
Coastal Security
Empowering military and civilian agencies to deploy C4ISR strategies to effectively tackle a range of situations in challenging and often inaccessible environments.
Law Enforcement
Enabling effective intelligence sharing and fast decision making processes for applications ranging from port security to anti-smuggling and surveillance.
Pollution
Our VTOL and Fixed Wing platforms can help prevent or mitigate natural or man-made disasters, including oil and chemical spillages.
Anti-Piracy
Our UAS solutions are proven on anti-piracy missions worldwide, providing real-time intelligence for critical operations requiring speed and covertness.

Our highly flexible UAV platforms can be deployed in a wide variety of land-based roles, including:
Law Enforcement
UAVs can efficiently and accurately monitor land and borders, even at night, to better target specific areas in which criminal activity is taking place, providing a constant ‘eye in the sky’ presence.
Security
We manage and deliver complete UAV programmes designed to provide all the necessary capabilities required to effectively tackle crime, reduce threat and maintain security.
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
Multiple UAVs can be flown simultaneously on the same Ground Control Station (GCS) to provide data for both military and civilian ISR requirements. We provide ISR training courses with qualified instructors to suit your needs.
LiDAR Mapping
Our drones can conduct LiDAR mapping over any area where data gathering is required, saving time and providing increased visibility for applications such as pipeline, transmission line and highway and railway corridor surveys, and coastal, forestry and flood plain surveys.
Infrastructure Inspections
UAVs facilitate fast, real-time and accurate surveying of hard-to-reach infrastructures such as turbines, mines and nuclear enclosures, saving time and money and reducing risks.

Our unmanned aircraft solutions can be tailored towards a wide variety of roles in the civilian sector, including:
Woodland/Forestry Monitoring
UAVs can provide access to difficult to reach terrains and dense forests, making it easier to monitor woodlands and gather data quickly and efficiently in order to make vital decisions.
Agricultural Monitoring
Our UAVs can be fitted with multispectral payloads to efficiently and accurately collect data for agricultural and precision farming applications, such as crop control and health monitoring, and the tracking of animals.
Wildlife Conservation
Gathering data on endangered plant and animal species to allow government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to implement policies designed to protect wildlife.
