The UAS is operated using common ground control station or any other host software systems. It features 4K recorded video and full-colour night vision in lower light conditions. StormCaster-L provides ultra-low-light imaging, tracking, and mapping during twilight and night time operations. Its continuous zoom lens with 75mm maximum focal length supports long distance ISR. StormCaster-T is fitted with a FLIR Boson thermal camera to provide identification, recognition, and target acquisition with maximum range and time-on-station. It offers continuous zoom and long-wave infrared (LWIR) imaging for missions such as ISR. The StormCaster line allows its users to quickly and easily change modules based on the mission. It offers 7x improvement in line-of-sight stabilisation, improved range of motion, as well as greater geolocation accuracy. The new line includes two multi-sensor products, namely StormCaster-T and StormCaster-L. The R80D SkyRaider aircraft is compatible with the FLIR StormCaster family of UAS payloads unveiled in November 2019. FLIR StormCaster payloads for R80D SkyRaider The unmanned aircraft also features MIMO antennas and dual redundant navigation systems with two different flight control computers. It also carries front-facing long-range, high-resolution EO/IR camera as well as the HDZoom 30 and EO/IR Mk-II camera, offering improved situational awareness during day and night. The UAS is fitted with four downward facing computer vision cameras which provide flight control input useful for future autonomous navigation. It also provides single-operator deployment footprint of Group 1 vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) system. With a maximum payload capacity of 4.4lb, the R80D SkyRaider aerial vehicle can deliver a range of payloads designed for the US military’s Group 2 and 3 UAS with agility. It is fitted with Osprey’s simple mechanical claw and mounting plate to attach payloads. The R80D SkyRaider’s payload development kit (PDK) allows the integration with external payloads to meet the requirements of end users and third-party integrators. The unmanned aerial vehicle is equipped with RaiderOS cyber security to improve communication channels used for both evolving mission requirements and cyber-security threats. It measures 80cm wide and 34cm high and can be carried in a rucksack along with its accessories including base station, toughpad tablet, interchangeable payloads, and joystick controller. The aerial vehicle weighs 4.5kg including airframe, legs, four batteries and without any payload. The standard pack of R80D SkyRaider aircraft system comprises unmanned aerial vehicle, base station, and HDZoom 30 payload. It features four landing legs, two clock-wise and two counter-clockwise rotating arms with propellers. It is embedded with powerful AI computing device. The aerial vehicle is based on an open architecture and can be deployable by a single operator. FLIR Systems received a $10m contract from the US Marine Corps for to deliver unspecified number of R80D SkyRaider unmanned vehicles in June 2020.
