This unmanned helicopter provides tactical maneuvering forces with remote terrain dominance and pin-point accurate lethal capability
DEFEA 2023, 9-11 May, Athene, Greece, Hall 2 Stand A6
04 May, 2023. Steadicopter, a leader in the Rotary Unmanned Aerial Systems (RUAS) industry, to
present, for the first time in Greece, the Golden Eagle – the ultimate unmanned helicopter with
precise hit capabilities.
Based on the combat-proven Black Eagle 50E platform, the Golden Eagle incorporates AI-based
technology and a remotely-operated robotic weaponry payload. The AI-based technology enables
superior situational awareness and autonomous multi-target classification and tracking, while the
payload locks on the target, tracks it and ensures precise target hit.
The Golden Eagle integrates the Smartshooter’s SMASH Dragon system – A unique stabilization
concept with proprietary target acquisition, tracking algorithms and sophisticated computer vision
capabilities that allow accurate hitting of static and moving targets. The system can employ various
types of assault rifles, sniper rifles, 40mm and other munitions with great precision.
Through advanced data processing, the AI system autonomously identifies and distinguishes
between different types of targets, such as person or vehicle, whether they are in motion or
stationery, and whether they have previously been present in the field.
Lightweight and thereby enabling long mission endurance, extremely cost-effective, simple to
operate, and easy to maintain, the Golden Eagle has vertical take-off and landing capability for
successful mission completion.
Steadicopter will also highlight its Black Eagle 50H – A true game-changer for uncrewed operations.
The BE50H provides its users with the most cost-effective solution for both ISR and pinpoint CAS
operations, in both the land and maritime domains, by enabling a unique combination of
impressive flight endurance and an extremely versatile sensor suite. With its open
architecture modular design, the BE50H accommodates the latest mission payloads, such as BIRD
Aerosystems’ µMPR. Coupled with the µMPR, the BE50H provides a first-ever combination of a
small tactical RUAS (with a near-to-zero operational, maintenance & logistic footprint), capable of
wide-area persistent surveillance and coverage for long durations on the one hand, with all the
advantages of the rotary-UAS, such as persistent hovering, which enable additional concepts of
operations for many mission applications, on the other.
“Maritime and land border protection are prominent needs in the world today Today’s complex
combat environment” says Noam Lidor, VP Sales, Marketing & Business Development at
Steadicopter. “The unique proven advantages of both the Golden Eagle and The Black Eagle 50H
enable forces both at sea and in land, to achieve mission success, while identify and locate hostile
targets at long ranges.”
