SMi reports: UAV Technology 2019 sponsor, Leonardo, unveils new Remotely-Piloted Air System (RPAS), the Falco Xplorer

SMi's UAV Technology conference 2019's sponsor, Leonardo, recently announced the introduction of its largest-ever Remotely-Piloted Air System (RPAS), the Falco XploreR.


The new drone features a payload capacity of 350kg, more than 24 hours flight time and a satellite communications capability for beyond-radio-line-of-sight operations, all within a 1.3 ton maximum take-off weight (MTOW).

The Falco Xplorer systems is entirely designed and manufactured in Europe, therefore it is not subject to International Traffic in Arms (ITAR) restrictions, and its technical characteristics place it within the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) class II category, together, these make the Falco Xplorer readily exportable around the world.

Delivered to its launch customer as early as 2020, the drone will be certified according to NATO STANAG4671, meaning that it will be readily approved to fly for NATO countries.

Learn more on this new development from Leonardo at SMi's 4th annual UAV Technology conference, taking place in London on the 30th September and the 1st October 2019, where they will be presenting an exclusive briefing and exhibiting their brand-new technologies at the two-day conference.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
