SDO 50 V2

High quality unmanned helicopter system with
superior endurance and payload capacity.

Payload 45 kg (99 pounds),
including fuel

Autonomy Up to 3.1 h
(long-range BVLOS)

Weather Operational in difficult
weather conditions

Sensors Single or multiple
high-quality sensors

Deployment 2 crew, 15 min,
VAN/pick-up

Swiss Quality Highest safety and quality standards

Cost / Risk Reduction Compared to manned helicopters

Low Carbon Footprint Significant fuel reduction

Key advantages

Missions are possible under difficult or dangerous circumstances (e.g. bad weather, darkness, flying over hostile or otherwise unsafe areas) when manned operations are not feasible.

Cost effective compared to a manned IFR/night VFR airborne solution.

Vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability of drone.

Feasible for covert operations due to low noise emission compared to manned systems.

Emergency gear can be airlifted to inaccessible/hazardous places.

Rapid deployment. System is ground transportable to venue of mission by means of a van or pick-up.

Set-up in 15 min by a crew of two people. Less skilled operating force required compared to manned systems.

Operations and mission deployment

The SDO 50 V2 system can be operated as a permanent installation, as part of a ship operation, be made ground transportable to the venue of mission by means of a van or pick-up or be deployed in combination with helicopters.

Mobile:
15 min set-up by 2 person crew,
transported by van or pick-up.

Stationary:
Permanent installation at strategic location.

Maritime:
Take-off and landing on a moving ship.

Hybrid:
Combination of deployment with other
fast-response mechanisms such as
helicopters.
