CenTauri will design a system incorporating a high-definition electro-optical sensor combined with an unintentional electromagnetic emissions detector on-board the VTOL S-100 UAV.
The S-100 can deploy for over six hours at a time, carrying up to 75lb of different payloads out to range of 180km, up to a height of 18,000ft AMSL and with a small logistics footprint.
IEDs have been identified as the single greatest threat to US and coalition forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
