Enhancing battlefield intelligence requires cutting-edge technology and expert operational support. The Aerosonde® UAS by Textron Systems delivers critical uncrewed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, ensuring warfighters have the tools needed to succeed in rapidly evolving operational environments.

COCO (contractor-owned, contractor-operated) services streamline the integration of UAS ISR capabilities, allowing military customers to focus on mission execution while leveraging contractor expertise. By outsourcing operations and sustainment, warfighters gain flexibility and scalability, adapting seamlessly to dynamic battlefield requirements.

Advantages of COCO Services:

  • Cost-effective optimized resource allocation and reduced overheads.
  • Rapid deployment for quick adaptation to evolving mission needs.
  • Comprehensive support including full life-cycle management, logistics, and system operation.
