Innocon’s MicroFalcon mini-UAS has completed flight testing with the multi-UAV configuration. The multi-UAV enables the user to operate the system over a target with a continuous coverage during day and night operation.

Both UAVs are controlled and monitored during the whole time from a single ground control station. In addition, Innocon’s ground control station allows the user to switch between the video images of both UAVs.

MicroFalcon is Innocon’s lightest UAV at 6 kg. Designed for solider level missions of over the hill observation, this UAV operates at an altitude of 1,000 feet and stays airborne for 2 hours day or night. Remarkably rugged, with boxed type wings, the MicroFalcon can land upside down using a parachute thereby increasing survivability and cutting down on redeployment cycle.

It’s features include: Fully autonomous, single operator design; multi-UAVs operated by one GCS; high precision automatic landings on harsh terrain; backup landing directions in case of GPS lose; smart communications system and all composite construction.

Innocon recently announced the signature of a contract for the supply of 50 MicroFalcon Systems to an unnamed customer in Asia. All 50 systems will be delivered through 2012. Innocon has already sold the MicroFalcon in Peru, the first system is due for delivery in August 2011.
