“Escribano Unveils Innovative UAV Swarm System for Cutting-Edge Surveillance and Recognition”
Escribano Mechanical & Engineering, a leading Spanish firm, has secured a significant contract from the Spanish Ministry of Defence’s Directorate General of Armament and Material (DGAM). This project focuses on developing an advanced autonomous swarm system designed for ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance) operations as part of the Phase II of the Spanish RAPAZ program.
The initiative aims to create software for an innovative experimental swarm system utilizing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). This system will conduct various experimental missions, primarily focusing on ISTAR and Search and Rescue (SAR) operations, as well as loitering missions where drones wait for potential targets.
Integrating seamlessly with military platforms such as the cutting-edge 8×8 Dragon, this system will function effectively within a range of 5 to 10 kilometers, offering potential loitering or striking capabilities against ground targets.
At the forefront of technology, the Long Range Intelligent Security System (LISS) distinguishes itself as the only drone swarm system that provides both individual and collective intelligence, enabling autonomous mission execution. Operated by a single remote operator, this swarm exhibits autonomous behavior and adaptability to mission events.
This versatile technology holds significant promise not just for military use but also for civil applications, including defense and soldier protection, coastal surveillance, toxic spill control, wildfire monitoring, disaster survivor searches, crop disease detection, and logistics transportation.
