Product catalog summary
Overview
The Skystar 300 is a tactical aerostat system designed for continuous day and night Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations at altitudes of up to 1,000 feet. It is highly mobile, rapidly deployable, and provides high-quality information gathering and target allocation using advanced sensor and navigation technologies.
Key Features
  • Precise target location on a digital map with 360-degree stabilized observation coverage.
  • Unique 3-axis stabilized payload for day/night operations with laser gyro stabilization.
  • Integration with C4I systems for enhanced operational capabilities.
  • Low maintenance and operational costs, with full digital recording of mission data.
  • Operates effectively under harsh weather conditions and strong winds.
  • Ideal for military and homeland security applications.
Deployment and Operation
The system can be packed and transported on a towable trailer or container-sized platform, allowing for rapid deployment within 20 minutes. It can maintain surveillance at 1,000 feet for up to 72 hours before requiring a brief helium refill.
Payload and Targeting
The Skystar 300 can carry payloads up to 30 kg, typically equipped with a 3-axis stabilized day/night payload with continuous zoom and optional laser rangefinder. It uses GPS/INS navigation for accurate target pinpointing, with data displayed on a GIS digital map at the ground control station.
Operational Simplicity
The system requires only three personnel for full maintenance, with one person needed for routine ISR operations. Training is minimal, taking no more than two weeks due to its user-friendly design.
Proven Performance
The Skystar 300 is operational worldwide with military and homeland security forces, known for its reliability and cost-effectiveness in ISR missions.
