The company shows at IDEX for the first time the complete system consisting of the marauding platform, the launcher and the ground station with the communications and control system.
Q-SLAM-40 system is a cost-effective, flexible, robust and durable system that can be easily carried by a team of two soldiers in lightweight backpacks. The system is deployed anywhere needed in less than 5 minutes, ensuring fast reaction time. Q-SLAM-40 loitering system can carry on different types of operations, from protection or surveillance to reconnaissance and target acquisition. The pilot can control de platform and abort the mission or redirect it safely if necessary. The Q-SLAM-40 can be easily transported by two soldiers. It can also be integrated into other platforms such as vehicles or boats. It consists of a pneumatic launcher, an aerial platform and a ground control station that includes an antenna and a rugged tablet, to control the system and flight parameters.
Feature:
Q-SLAM-40 has a wide range of automated or piloted flight modes.
Its small size and quiet electronic motor make it very difficult to detect, recognize and track even at close ranges.
