UP and ABOVE TRADITIONAL SOLUTIONS

SURVEILLANCE  |  COMMUNICATION  |  DATA

CUV develops, manufactures and sells mobile developed the Expeditionary Aerostat Systems (EAS) family of mobile cost effective aerostat systems.  EAS uses a lifting aerostat, a  tethered blimp with aerodynamic lifting capabilities.  This allows a much smaller system to operate in real world winds and other conditions.  CUV systems are smaller, more mobile and use less manpower than traditional aerostats. The aerostat can lift payloads for communications, surveillance, research, and intelligence collection – to altitudes of several thousand feet for continuous 24/7 operation.

ANALYSIS & CONSULTING

Working with customers and users CUV defines requirements and responses to new missions to reach clear definitions of goals.  This can include incorporating new payloads, adapting system designs to new platforms [e.g. Unmanned Surface Vessel] and developing Aerostat System Specifications and Baseline Designs for customers and their unique requirements. 

FLIGHT
TESTING

CUV's in-house Lightweight Aerostat Systems can be can be used for field testing of various payloads, such as communications and surveillance payloads.  CUV provides and operates the aerostat system for customer specified testing.

LEASING/RENTAL

OPTIONS
