optionally piloted aircraft - talon-opv

The Talon OPV (Optionally-Piloted Vehicle) comes standard equipped with an Electro-Optical (EO) Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) sensor and password protected Line-of-Sight (LOS) Microwave Video Streaming System for live video viewable on any web browser equipped device (i.e. smartphones, tablets, laptops and PCs).

Included are 3G/4G and Satellite Auto-Email Systems capable of sending emailed JPEG or Google Earth (KMZ) pictures with one keystroke while airborne or on the ground by Verizon 3G data card or Satellite data-phone. Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) streaming video capabilitiy is optional.

Included Scan Plan Software enables preprogramming a path using GEO coordinates to automatically direct the imaging system. Highly valued for recurring patrols for pre/post disaster comparison video, search and rescue, border patrol and pipeline patrol.

Talon OPV allows the onboard pilot to preprogram the mission profile and provide Visual Flight Rules (VFR) see-and-avoid capability while sensor systems are controlled from a Ground Control Station (GCS). The pilot can also instantaneously take control of the aircraft should circumstances dictate. Talon OPV can be upgraded to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) having full auto-takeoff and auto-land capabilities.
