SQA eVTOL Multirole System
The SQA eVTOL multirole system, developed by C-ASTRAL’s advanced X-WORKS laboratory, is an evolutionary and compact small unmanned system designed for the complete spectrum of ISR operations over medium distances, reaching up to 40 km from the ground control station. It supports various command and control datalinks, operating at frequencies from 1GHz to 5GHz in MANET or MIMO configurations.
SQA eVTOL: Versatile and Reliable
The Mk1 basic SQA system is highly adaptable, suitable for first responders, search and rescue, firefighting, and complex military-level ISR and fire control missions, and equipped with a range of stabilized sensor options.
The SQA eVTOL is also an exceptional remote sensing platform for aerophotogrammetry and scientific atmospheric sensing, including gas leak detection missions.
Built on the robust legacy of over 140,000 global flight hours from the C-ASTRAL BRAMOR and ATLAS systems, the SQA eVTOL comes with the unified C3P command, control, communications, and planning software package. This user-friendly, tablet-level GCS provides superior situational awareness and safety for unmanned operations through an intuitive graphical interface.
With C3P, you can plan and execute flight missions, control flight parameters and sensors in real time, and collect and aggregate geospatial data efficiently.
ATAK / CivTAK and MIL Sistemika Compatible
The SQA eVTOL can be equipped with advanced features, including support for the Cursor on Target protocol and STANAG 4609 compatibility. It is compatible with ATAK and CivTAK, allowing integration into a wide array of battlefield management and geospatial intelligence networks. The system supports MISB ST 1402.1 and STD 0601.4 UAS datalink local data sets and integrates natively with the MIL Sistemika Personal Eye System and IHTA BMS.
