Development of a Heavy Lift Turbine UAV

**ISS AerSpace**是一家总部位于英国的无人驾驶飞行器(UAV)制造商，专门设计、开发和生产部署在陆地和海洋环境中的高性能集成无螺丝空中平台，供国防、安全和石油和天然气客户使用。**马歇尔航空航天**是一家成立已久的英国航空航天公司，专门从事MRO服务以及复杂飞机的设计、修改和认证。**马歇尔未来**是为了识别和开发新一代产品和服务，这些产品和服务为相关和及时的全球和社会问题提供创新的解决方案。**Futureworx**和**ISS AerSpace**正在共同开发一种解决方案，使用常驻自动无人机为海上风力发电场提供安全、高效的检查服务，利用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)重型无人机平台的持续需求。目前，电池供电的旋转翼战区内能力是可用的，但受限于有限的耐力和射程。电池在前线环境中的使用在后勤上具有挑战性，因为它们需要重复和频繁的充电。因此，**ISS**在**Futureworx**的支持下，将开发和认证基于ISS经过验证的人口普查架构的涡轮发电机驱动的重型垂直起降无人机，该架构将提供所需的性能：·。船到船/船到岸/中间/最后一英里再补给·机外情报、监视和侦察·。远距离动态效果/武器有效载荷，包括诱饵和干扰器·。伤员疏散和搜救……港口代理服务、港口管理和边境监测……邮递国际空间站计划中的人口普查MX8-XT无人机将在50公里内运送多达250公斤的有效载荷，它将在所有英国和北约部队之间实现互操作。它的平台架构将确保其固有的安全性，它将使用**马歇尔的**设计组织特权进行设计、制造和认证。此外，Scount MX8-XT将利用数字和机器人技术的发展来改善供应链管理、计划优化和自动化，并将利用商业部门开发和利用的技术。

**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.
