With the ability to reliably lift 68kg in all weather, the T150 can deliver the goods, such as REMUS 100 AUV, anywhere. With a removable battery, it's not necessary to wait hours to send the vehicle back out, increasing cargo cadence and value for money.
The T150’s redundant avionics and drive system allow focusing on the task – not the vehicle. The UAS has been designed for the toughest military environments, with demonstrated operations in the arctic circle, desert, and at sea.
The device can be controlled from a laptop and delivers the package to its target based on predefined points on a map. The drone is battery-powered, but the company is working on a way to charge the device wirelessly in flight.
The device is kept airborne by four sets of two propellers, so if anyone fails, the T150 will still be able to land safely. Tests have shown it can fly in all weather conditions, so strong winds and snow won't hinder its operation. It can fly 70 kilometers on a single charge and has a maximum flight time of 36 minutes.
About REMUS 100
The REMUS 100 takes its name from its max operating depth of 100 meters. The US Navy operates a derivative of the REMUS 100, in addition to the standard REMUS 100, designated Mk 18 Mod 1 “Swordfish”. It can travel at speeds of up to 5 knots (9.3 km/h) and has an endurance of up to 22 hours at its standard cruising speed of 3 knots (5.6 km/h).
