VISual SeCuRIty OPeRatIOnS COnSOle VSOC unmanned aircraft System (uaS) Boeing Scaneagle unmanned aircraft System above: Scaneagle ready to go from its launch/Retrieval trailer. right: Scaneagle in flight. the Scaneagle is a joint production unmanned aircraft System (uaS) by the Boeing Company and Insitu Inc. the program is based on the Insitu SeaScan unmanned aircraft, coupled with Boeing’s expertise in the field of aircraft systems engineering. the Scaneagle has already posted more than 350,000 hours of combat flight time and has proven itself to be exceptionally reliable, with a record of greater than 98 percent mission readiness. the Scaneagle is saving the lives of coalition defense forces worldwide with all-weather remote reconnaissance and target tracking with exceptional loitering capabilities. 16
Boeing Scaneagle uaV, continued the Scaneagle can be fitted with either IR or eO type cameras. a dual bay configured aircraft has an extra payload bay for nanoSaR (a synthetic-aperture radar payload) or custom payloads. Situations are presented and reported in real time and the system is capable of more than 24 hours of flight time. launching is achieved autonomously from a catapult system. landing is achieved through a SkyHook approach in which the Scaneagle is captured by the 50-foot-high (fully extended) retrieval system. this uaS represents a low-cost solution to a vital security need. the Scaneagle was designed from the outset to be operated from ocean-going ships, meaning that the proven catapult and hook retrieval systems exceed most field expectations. the diminutive size also lends in allowing the system to be stored away aboard ships that already deal with limited space.
