Overview
Fregata is a CTOL UAS with a 4m wingspan, a payload of 12kg (including fuel) and an MTOW of 35kg that can be launched using a pneumatic catapult or on top of a vehicle. Fregata is tailored to suit long range missions where flight endurance and enhanced payload capacity is a priority with an extended endurance of 8-12 hours and a data link range of up to 190 km.
The platform is launched from a catapult by a team of three operators including a pilot, a launch commander, and an individual to load and monitor the catapult. The platform can be easily manoeuvred by two people, packed in lightweight carry cases and transported by a medium wheelbase van or truck.
Fregata is powered by an efficient 4-stroke multi-fuel engine which runs on most heavy fuels for safety and availability, including Jet A1, Kerosene and SAF.
