The company has secured a contract to supply Black Eagle 50H, this year.
Eurosatory, Paris, June 13-17 Hall 6, Stand JH493
8 June 2022. Steadicopter – a leader in the Rotary Unmanned Aerial Systems (RUAS) industry – is to
highlight the Black Eagle 50H system and the Golden Eagle RUAS at Eurosatory. Following an initial
order, the company will supply the BlackEagle 50H – launched just a few months ago – to a naval
customer in the current calendar year, for advanced maritime operations.
Designed for a wide range of law enforcement, maritime, civilian and covert missions, the Black
Eagle 50H is the first ever hybrid-powered unmanned helicopter. With a maximum takeoff weight
of 50 kg, the system can carry multiple large or relatively smaller payloads, and is capable of up to
five hours of flight time – extremely high endurance when compared to other VTOL platforms in its
class. This enables high performance and maximum operational flexibility for various applications,
such as search & rescue; rescue, cyber security, intelligence, offshore rigs, and high-end naval missions.
Featuring a hybrid engine and propulsion system, the Black Eagle 50H combines the best of the
electric 50E and the gas-powered 50 variants in a platform that is extremely cost effective, simple
to operate, easy to maintain, environmentally friendly, and safe. The helicopter has all the proven
capabilities of the highly energy-efficient gasoline-powered Black Eagle 50, including vertical take-
off and landing, long hover durations, and leading mission sensor suites for all mission scenarios,
whether day or night. In addition, like the Black Eagle 50E, it offers excellent reliability and is
extremely adaptive to high-altitude flights, thanks to the electric propulsion component, which is
less affected by ambient air pressure, making it deployable in many high-altitude operational
scenarios.
For enhanced mission versatility, the hybrid platform also enables operators to select power by
generator while en route, switching to the quieter direct battery power during the mission itself,
enabling maximum covertness.
At the exhibition, the company will also present the recently-launched Golden Eagle – the first-ever
unmanned helicopter with precise hit capabilities. Based on the combat-proven Black Eagle 50E
platform, the Golden Eagle incorporates AI-based technology and Smart Shooter’s SMASH Dragon
system.
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. This enables superior
situational awareness and autonomous multi-target classification and tracking.
Smart Shooter’s SMASH Dragon system – a remotely-operated robotic weaponry payload –
integrates a unique stabilization concept with proprietary target acquisition, tracking algorithms
and sophisticated computer vision capabilities. When mounted onto the Golden Eagle, SMASH
Dragon locks on the static or moving target, tracks it and ensures a precise target hit. The system
can employ various types of assault rifles, sniper rifles, 40mm and other munitions with great
precision.
Lightweight – 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.
“We launched these two new systems, with unique technological capabilities, within a few months
of each other and will be displaying them both for the first time at this international exhibition,”
says Noam Lidor, VP Sales, Marketing & Business Development at Steadicopter. “We are proud that
so soon after its launch, we have already secured a contract for the Black Eagle 50H system,
indicating the trust our customers place in the company’s solutions.”
