Development of a Heavy Lift Turbine UAV

* * ISS Aerospace ** 是一家总部位于英国的无人机（UAV）制造商，专门从事设计、开发和生产部署在陆地和海洋环境中的高性能集成旋松式空中平台，并供国防、安全和石油天然气客户使用。马歇尔航空航天公司 ** 是一家历史悠久的英国航空航天企业，专门从事MRO服务以及复杂飞机的设计、改装和认证。* * 马歇尔Futureworx ** 旨在识别和开发新一代产品和服务，为相关和及时的全球和社会问题提供创新解决方案。* * Futureworx ** 和 ** ISS Aerospace ** 正在共同开发一种解决方案，使用常驻自主无人机为海上风电场提供安全、高效的检查服务，通过可靠的数据优化运营和维护，同时实现可持续的行业增长。英国国防部对战区内（旋转翼）和战区间（旋转翼或固定翼）重型起重无人机平台有持续的需求。目前，电池供电的旋转翼飞机具有战区内能力，但受到有限的续航力和航程的限制。由于电池需要反复频繁地充电，因此在前线环境中使用电池在后勤上具有挑战性。因此，** ISS ** 将在 ** Futureworx ** 的支持下，开发并认证一款涡轮发电机驱动的重型垂直起降无人机系统，该系统基于ISS久经考验的Sensus架构，可提供以下所需的性能：·船对船/船对海岸/中间/最后一英里再补给。非机载情报、监视和侦察。防区外动能效应/武器有效载荷，包括诱饵和干扰器。伤亡人员疏散和搜索与救援。港口代理服务、港口管理和边境监视。邮件递送 ** ISS ** 计划中的Sensus MX8-XT UAS将在50公里范围内提供高达250公斤的有效载荷，并可在所有英国和北约部队之间实现互操作。其平台架构将确保其固有的安全性，并将使用 ** 马歇尔的 ** 设计组织特权进行设计、制造和认证。此外，Sensus MX8-XT将利用数字和机器人技术的发展来改善供应链管理、规划优化和自动化，并将利用商业领域开发和利用的技术。

**ISS Aerospace** is a UK-based Uncrewed Air Vehicle (UAV) manufacturer specialising in the design, development and production of high-performance integrated unscrewed air platforms deployed in land and marine environments and used by defence, security and oil and gas clients.**Marshall Aerospace** is a long established UK aerospace business specialising in MRO services and the design, modification and certification of complex aircraft. **Marshall Futureworx** has been created to identify and develop a new generation of products and services that deliver innovative solutions for relevant and timely global and societal problems. Together **Futureworx** and **ISS Aerospace** are developing a solution to provide safe, efficient inspection services for offshore wind farms using resident autonomous UAVs, optimising operations and maintenance with reliable data whilst enabling sustainable industry growth.UK MoD has an ongoing requirement for both intra-theatre (rotary wing) and inter-theatre (rotary- or fixed-wing) heavy lift UAS platforms. At present battery powered rotary-wing intra-theatre capability is available but is constrained by limited endurance and range. The use of batteries in front line environments is logistically challenging given their need for repeated and frequent recharging.Hence, **ISS** supported by **Futureworx** will develop and certify a turbine-generator powered heavy lift VTOL UAS based on ISS's proven Sensus architecture which will deliver the performance needed for :•. Ship-to-ship / Ship-to-shore / Middle / Last Mile resupply•. Off-Board Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance•. Stand-off Kinetic effects / Weapon Payloads including decoys and jammers•. Casualty Evacuation and Search & Rescue•. Port agency services, harbour management and border surveillance•. Mail delivery**ISS's** planned Sensus MX8-XT UAS will deliver payloads of up to 250kg over 50km and it will be interoperable across all UK and NATO forces. Its platform architecture will assure its inherent safety and it will be designed, manufactured and certified using **Marshall's** Design Organisation privileges. Furthermore Sensus MX8-XT will exploit developments in digital and robotic technologies to improve supply chain management, planning optimisation and automation and will capitalise on technologies developed and exploited within the commercial sector.
