Saab has signed a contract to deploy the SKELDAR UAS for maritime operations. Skeldar UAS will be operationally deployed with the customer before the end of this year and will be used in naval operations where the benefits of a VTOL UAS are most prominent. SKELDAR is a flexible multi-mission system set to successfully meet mission objectives on land or at sea. It is based on the same smart design and innovative technological solutions that have become the trade mark for Saab's aeronautical products and systems. "SKELDAR UAS is an excellent choice for maritime operations thanks to its high flight perfor- mance, heavy fuel engine and easy-to-maintenance design. We continuously improve the system with the integration of new sensors and different payload according to customer needs," Lennart Sindahl, Head of Saab Aeronautics explained. In other news, Saab has verified a number of key capabilities of its SKELDAR V-200 vertical lift UAS through flight campaigns at different sites in US and Sweden demonstrating the system's performance for both land and sea based operations. A number of successful customer demonstration flights have also been conducted.
