Silent Falcon UAS Technologies has introduced its new Silent Falcon Extended Endurance (EE) UAS.

Equipped with the newest technological innovations in solar panels, battery and solar power conversion, the Silent Falcon EE UAS can stay aloft for up to eight hours during the day, and four hours at night.

The communications capabilities of the Silent Falcon EE have also been upgraded, thanks to the inclusion of three MIMO MANET radios at the Ground Control Station with the SF TriAntenna configuration. Not only does this configuration greatly increase connectivity, bandwidth and reliability, but it also allows one of the radios to be used to connect a remote site, such as a command center to the radio network.

“The Silent Falcon is an open interface, open architecture modular system that was designed to easily integrate new technologies and capabilities once they have been proven in the field. The Silent Falcon EE is a great example of this – extended endurance with more robust solar power, and rock-solid communications for more reliable longer-range missions,” explains John W. Brown Silent Falcon’s Chairman and CEO.

“We are flying the Silent Falcon EE now for our own UAS services customers and look forward to making it the new standard for long endurance, long range electric UAS.”
