IA-17 Manta

Product catalog summary

Technical Specifications
The IA-17 Manta is a close-range tactical Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) with the following specifications: an overall length of 1270 mm, a wingspan of 2800 mm, and a height of 215 mm. It has a maximum take-off weight of 25.0 kg and can carry a payload of up to 7.5 kg. The UAS can reach a maximum speed of 200 kph and has an endurance of up to 14 hours. It operates with a 2-stroke engine and can reach an operational ceiling of 4500 m ASL. The mission radius is 60 km Line of Sight (LoS), and it is ITAR-Free.

Design and Features
The IA-17 Manta features a fiberglass shock-proof airframe and a tactical modular body. It is designed for aerial surveillance, photogrammetric surveys, coastal patrols, and support for Search and Rescue (SAR) operations. The UAS is equipped with a parachute for landing on unprepared terrain, allowing operations in complex environments. Its modular construction allows for easy installation of different sensor payloads.

ISR Capabilities
The UAS supports long endurance patrols and reconnaissance missions with real-time data transmission. It is equipped with a gyro-stabilized pan/tilt/zoom EO/IR camera turret with continuous 360° rotation, a high-resolution 10x zoom CMOS sensor for daytime, and a 4x thermal imager for nighttime operations.

Aerial Mapping and Launch System
The IA-17 Manta is capable of wide-area aerial mapping using a photogrammetry package with a 22.3 megapixel sensor and a 50 mm lens. The catapult takeoff system allows for launch and disassembly in under 15 minutes, operates without external power, and can function in wet/sandy conditions with wind speeds up to 10 m/s.

Control and Data-link
The UAS features a scalable and customizable software/hardware interface with mission planning and real-time management capabilities. It is STANAG 4586 protocol compliant and offers advanced moving map features. The control data-link is customizable, secure, and offers long-range coverage up to 60 km. The payload data-link uses COFDM technology for secure, long-range transmission with multipath immunity.

Landing and Recovery
The parachute landing subsystem (PLS) allows for normal and emergency landings. The retractable gimbal mechanism is optimized for high accelerations during takeoff and landing.
