Honeywell’s SATCOM System To Outfit UAV Series

System Is Reportedly The World’s Smallest, Weighing Only 2 Pounds

Pipistrel has selected Honeywell’s SATCOM system for all of their proposed unmanned aircraft platforms. This includes the fixed-wing Surveyor and both unmanned Nuuva platforms, the V300 and smaller V20.

Honeywell’s Small UAV SATCOM system weights only 2.2 lbs, which is reportedly 90% lighter than the next smallest connectivity system the company produces. Honeywell’s offering is very popular in this new market segment and will be implemented specifically on an unmanned cargo or optionally manned aerial vehicle.

Stéphane Fymat, vice president and general manager, Unmanned Aerial Systems and Urban Air Mobility at Honeywell Aerospace offers additional remarks.

“Honeywell’s small UAV SATCOM system is a game-changer for small or medium-sized unmanned aircraft, such as the Nuuva cargo or Surveyor aircraft, that previously couldn’t be equipped with satellite communications,” Fymat says. “Now, they have access to everything we’ve come to expect from the large-aircraft experience, like global connectivity or fleet monitoring — but it’s been packaged in a size that is conducive to a much smaller aerial vehicle.”

Honeywell’s system serves UAV’s with real-time video streaming and allows for operations outside of the line-of-sight. The small SATCOM can be used for delivery services provided by UAVs and keep vehicles connected in remote areas or over water.

Pipistrel’s Nuuva V300 is a proposed long-range, large-capacity, autonomous UAV.
