EO/IR

Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) gimbals provide advanced wide-area situational awareness and intelligence gathering through collection, identification, categorization and geo-location of static and moving objects of interest. It provides real-time, high-definition video to commanders and decision makers for uninterrupted surveillance of borders, urban areas, activity and events both by day and night.

Radars GMTI/SAR

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a radar system that uses the flight path of the platform to simulate an extremely large antenna or aperture electronically and generates high-resolution remote sensing imagery. SAR is used to create images of an object, such as a landscape. These images can be 2D or 3D representations of the object. High-resolution SAR provides true, all-weather ground mapping and surveillance imaging, as well as Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI).

Lidar

Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with laser and analyzing the reflected light. LIDAR for 3D geographic survey systems provides geologists and mapping professionals with the ability to examine both natural and man-made environments with more accuracy, precision and flexibility, and to produce highly accurate maps and digital elevation models for use in geographic information systems.

Ease of Operation on Decks

Maritime operations, from civilian to military, require robust and dependable intelligence.

Increasingly Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS) strategies have become central to successful maritime missions. SKELDAR provides a range of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) suited to seaborne activities including Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) rotary platforms. Multi-role, we are uniquely positioned to advise customers on the appropriate platform for their needs.

Search & Rescue

Smart Thinking Makes a Difference

From high profile disaster recovery and rescue missions to co-ordination of land, sea and air assets, we are ideally suited to support customers in civilian and security agencies tasked with implementation of Search and Rescue (SAR) missions. Our multi-platform portfolio, with Ground Control Station (GCS) support from air, sea or land assets (or a combination) provide optimised co-ordination.

Anti-Piracy

One Chance to get it Right

Proven on anti-piracy missions worldwide, including the Indian Ocean/Horn of Africa through to South East Asia and elsewhere, our Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide duration and the in the air intel. It is difficult and dangerous situations such as these where speed and covert operations can spell the difference between success and failure.

Tactile Law Enforcement

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are becoming the go-to technologies operated by Border Protection officers across the world to survey their land and uphold the security of their own border.

Hostile border territories present a tough challenge for security teams, with sites of intense confrontation between law enforcement and law evasion leading to a threat in human lives. Using UAVs to survey the border eliminates 90% of the risks involved on land, and additionally, is far more efficient and accurate, covering infinitely more ground than is possible by current methods.

Moving target locked

SKELDAR include a radar mode of operation to identify a moving target. Once locked, the platform can tail and send real-time information to its bespoke Ground Control Station (GCS). The ability to receive real-time information without risking personnel on the ground gives your team an edge in any environment.

Laser mapping through the noise

Our platforms are designed with state-of-the-art solutions including LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to distinguish targets. LiDAR uses advanced methods to send laser pulses in certain areas, detecting the speed of reflection to recreate and map boundaries on land.

Airborne Light Detection and Ranging, or LiDAR, is revolutionising the way many industries gather data. With applications from pipeline, transmission line and highway and railway corridor surveys to coastal, forestry and flood plain surveys, LiDAR, or laser mapping, has the ability to penetrate difficult to access areas quickly and efficiently.

Security is the main Priority

Government and military officials are tasked with keeping a step ahead in order to tackle crime, reduce threat and maintain security.

3FAS is a multi-skilled enterprise with all the capabilities necessary to manage and deliver total Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) programmes to a wide variety of security sectors globally.

Developments in UAV technologies have made it both easier and more cost-effective to utilise these new technologies, becoming the number one requirement in industries such as border control and security.

Making infrastructure

Many organisations have invested heavily in deploying large infrastructure across an expansive geographic network, maybe even spanning countries and continents (for example power lines, mobile phone towers, bridges, oil pipelines). Infrastructure must be routinely inspected to not only ensure its structural integrity for continuing safe operations but also to monitor for intruders and other potential trespassers.

Traditionally, inspections have been completed by deploying teams of people. However, these types of examinations often entail high risk situations and very long journeys requiring each team member to spend a long time in the field.

UAV technologies

Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is revolutionising the way many civilian industries gather data. With a wide range of applications from pipeline, transmission line and highway and railway corridor surveys to coastal, forestry and flood plain surveys, LiDAR, or laser mapping, has the ability to penetrate difficult to access areas quickly and efficiently.

At 3FAS, each platform is LiDAR enabled to cover any area, eliminating the danger of manned crews becoming subjected to difficult terrain or not being able to travel across survey areas.

Tackle deforestation

SKELDAR provides a range of platforms to help monitor forests and woodlands and gather important data quickly and efficiently to make decisions fast.

Forests and woodlands are among the most biodiverse and valuable terrestrial ecosystems on the planet. The world’s natural forests and woodlands are shrinking due to the impacts of climate change and many years of deforestation. Causes include agribusiness, illegal logging, mining, building new roads and more recently an increase in hydroelectric dams.

Skeldar Improves Agricultural Data Delivery

With an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), such activities as crop control and the tracking of animals are made efficient with precision targeting at a fraction of the time taken by traditional methods. At 3FAS, we have a variety of platforms to help monitor the vast lands in question.

Wildlife conservation techniques

Wildlife Conservation involving the protection of plant and animal species and their habitats is a priority across hotspots worldwide. Increasingly Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) strategies are helping government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to implement policies designed to protect wildlife.

3FAS brings the technology to gather the required data to help concerned agencies to make quicker and more informed decisions
