The Piglet MUAS is a highly maneuverable platform with a unique tilt-rotor system that provides more robust and direct control than traditional gimbal technologies. Featuring a modular payload system, the dual-use UAS can be adapted to serve a wide range of military and civilian applications.

The versatile platform can be equipped with EO/IR sensors for ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), as well as infrastructure inspection, security, and monitoring. A tethering system allows the Piglet to provide a persistent capability at up to 80 meters for use cases such as public events and perimeter surveillance.

Thanks to its high level of modularity, the Piglet can be integrated with almost any sensor payload the user requires, including multispectral cameras and chemical/radiation detectors, and can even serve as a mothership capability for smaller nano-UAS. The BLOS-capable aircraft utilizes an AES-256 encrypted and EW (electronic warfare)-protected datalink, and is compatible with BMS and ATAK for seamless integration into existing defense ecosystems.

Stictia is an attritable miniature UAS that fits in the palm of your hand and features a ruggedized carrying case that also acts as a charger as well as a tactical camera payload. The highly portable dual-use UAS is ideal for covert ISR missions as well as emergency response, SAR (search and rescue), and infrastructure and environmental monitoring.

Thanks to an advanced swarming capability, multiple units can work together in co-ordination to cover wider areas and provide multi-angle situational awareness. Equipped with real-time object recognition and target tracking, the UAS swarm can guide field operators more effectively and enable informed decision-making.

Falconet is an advanced aerial counter-UAS capability with high-accuracy target trajectory calculation, designed for low-altitude high-speed target engagement. Featuring sophisticated onboard detection sensors and capable of hosting a variety of ballistic countermeasures, it can quickly and efficiently neutralize a wide range of modern drone threats.

The robust system can be deployed in a variety of challenging conditions including both ground and aquatic environments. Thanks to advanced swarming capabilities, multiple units can work in tandem to cover different directions or provide comprehensive coverage of extended perimeters or large areas.

Originally designed as a loitering munitions platform, the Peregrine UAS can serve as a dual-use platform by carrying EO/IR sensors for advanced intelligence gathering and situational awareness both during the day and at night. With dash speeds of up to 500 km/h, it is ideal for rapid deployment in emergency situations and remote areas.

The high-speed and long-range platform is highly suited to border and perimeter security as well as for enhancing law enforcement and firefighting missions such as pursuit of suspects and fire hotspot identification. It can also support mapping and environmental monitoring, and can operate autonomously in GPS-denied areas, allowing it to gather data in remote locations.

Arctic Horizons’ military-grade Ground Control Systems (GCS) are designed to provide secure and intuitive command and control for UAVs and robotic systems, featuring seamless map integration, real-time telemetry and reduced cognitive load. They are based on the STANAG 4586-compliant UNIFY OS, a hardware-agnostic platform that supports a wide range of airframes and payloads and can be tailored towards specific mission requirements.

Tactical GCS options include:

Large Tablet: Designed for highly complex missions with enhanced data control
Small Tablet: Portable unit for simpler UAV operations and rapid deployment
Universal Remote Control: Compatible with both tablets
Group 1 UAV Datalink: Secure radio link with frequency hopping for short to medium range communications
Group 2 UAV Datalink: Advanced digital link with phased-array antennas for long-range operations
