FALCO Xplorer - RPAS Falco Xplorer Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) is the new Leonardo solution for persistent multisensor strategic surveillance. Falco Xplorer is a new, state of the art system, able to provide Customers with persistent actionable Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR). A broad multispectral sensor suite can be installed thanks to its payload capability. The suite is natively composed by a multifunction Syntetic Aperture Radar (SAR), an electro-optical multisensor gyrostabilized turret and a Signal Intelligence Suite. Customers benefit therefore from un unparalleled customizable situational awareness. Powered by a conventional aviation engine and with endurance over 24 hours, the Falco Xplorer gathers informations far over the horizon, relayed in real time via secure satellite connection to C4I centers. Typical system configuration includes a Ground Control Station (GCS) connected to a Ground Data Terminal (GDT), a Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and two Aircrafts. The system is designed in accordance with NATO STANAG 4671 and is undergoing military type certification. Relocation of the Falco Xplorer system is not an issue for our Customers, the logistic footprint is in fact kept to minimum: the whole system can be relocated via ISO-668 air transportable containers in matter of hours. Legacy from the proven Falco EVO and other major RPAS programs, the Falco Xplorer system is aimed at dual-use requirements providing 24/7, all-weather persistent regional surveillance, covering a wide range of missions and complementing typical military roles (theatre persistent multispectral surveillance) with governmental missions such as border patrolling, coastal watch, illegal immigration prevention, law enforcement, critical infrastructures surveillance, EEZ surveillance and environmental monitoring.
