Hero VTOL System
SD-150 Hero

APPLICATIONS

PAYLOADS

The SD-150 Hero is a state-of-the-art vertical take-off and

landing (VTOL) unmanned air system based on Sistemi
Dinamicis (a joint venture with AgustaWestland) and IDSs
extensive experience in the aeronautical and sensors
fields.

The SD-150 Hero is the perfect solution for civil and

homeland security applications. Whatever the mission, the
SD-150 Hero offers a cost effective solution:

The SD-150 Hero UAV offers two modular payload bays

(underbelly and nose) which can integrate different
payloads in order to fulfill various different missions:

Civil
Pipeline and power line inspection
Mining applications (prism positioning and early
warning)
Pollution control
Wildlife, field and vegetation monitoring
GIS (mapping and surveys)
Flight inspection

Homeland Security
Border control
Disaster assessment
Law enforcement
Fire prevention

The SD-150 Hero system is composed of:

Unmanned aerial vehicle with several payload

configuration options
Ground control station:
Command & control station
Payload control station
UAV training simulator

The SD-150 Hero UAV is able to fly a completely

autonomous pre-programmed mission from take-off to
landing and incorporates multiple safety features which
help to ensure a successful mission.

Gyro stabilized EO HD IR gimbals

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR)
LIDAR
Photogrammetry system
Communication relay
AIS Transponder
ADS-B Transponder

The SD-150 Heros ground control station is an advanced

human machine interface composed of a full-HD video
capable modular station with two independent operator
seats (pilot and payload). It ensures interoperability
(STANAG-4586) and provides multi-UAV control.
Mobile Ground Control Station Options

The UAV training simulator is designed to provide a full

training syllabus from pilot/operator system familiarization
to complete tactical training.
