Cutting-Edge Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Tactical Applications

Arctic Horizons is a developer of cutting-edge UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) that provide solutions to the most critical challenges of the modern battlefield. Our product portfolio has been designed with autonomy, precision, and flexibility at its core, and can be equipped with payloads and sensors to suit our clients’ specific mission requirements.

Our versatile unmanned aircraft solutions are dual-use, making them ideal for civilian tactical applications such as law enforcement, first responders, disaster relief, and SAR (search and rescue).

AHI maintains a table-of-origin favouring critical components from NATO-friendly nations. This allows us to provide our customers with market-leading products that meet the highest standards of security, quality and effectiveness.

Piglet Medium Unmanned Aircraft System

Group 2 heavy-lift tiltrotor UAS with modular payload system

The Piglet is a Group 2 medium UAS designed to serve in complex combat roles that require high levels of maneuverability and mixed-range precision. Featuring unique tilt-rotor technology that provides more robust and direct control than traditional gimbal setups, it can carry a variety of weapons systems up to .50 caliber rifles and 40mm grenade launchers. The powerful tactical UAS is also equipped with a cutting-edge ballistics calculator that can achieve 15cm groupings at ranges of 1000 meters.Piglet Medium UASThanks to its modular payload system, the Piglet can also be integrated with almost any sensor payload the user requires, including ISR camera gimbals, multispectral cameras and chemical/radiation detectors. A tethering system allows the UAS to provide a persistent capability at heights of up to 80 meters for use cases such as security and perimeter surveillance, and a wire-assisted airdrop system can be installed for delivery of vital cargo such as trauma kits and medical supplies.

The BLOS-capable platform utilizes an AES-256 encrypted and EW (electronic warfare)-protected datalink, and is compatible with BMS and ATAK for seamless integration into existing defense ecosystems.

Stictia Nano Unmanned Aircraft System

Nano attritable UAS with swarming capabilities

Stictia is an attritable nano UAS with a credit card-sized footprint, designed for covert ISR missions as well as other tactical applications such as emergency response and SAR (search and rescue). Together with its ruggedized carrying case, it can also act as a tactical camera payload that easily integrates with military helmets, vehicle dashboards, and firearm rail systems.

Stictia Miniature attritable UASThanks to an advanced swarming capability, multiple units can work together in co-ordination to cover wider areas and provide multi-angle situational awareness. Equipped with real-time object recognition and target tracking, the UAS swarm can guide field operators more effectively and enable informed decision-making.

The BMS and ATAK-compatible system provides mission endurance of up to 15 minutes, and includes a remote controller with 6.2″ display for real-time ISR video and data display.

Falconet

Counter-UAS platform with ballistic capabilities

Falconet is an advanced aerial counter-UAS platform designed for low-altitude and high-velocity engagement of a variety of modern drone threats. Featuring high-accuracy target trajectory calculation and powerful onboard detection sensors, it can be equipped with ballistic countermeasures including shotgun and fragmentation rounds or kinetic interception.

Falconet aerial counter-UAS platform Offering a high degree of operational flexibility, the versatile system can be deployed under a range of challenging conditions, including both ground and aquatic environments. Thanks to advanced swarming capabilities, multiple units can work in tandem to cover different directions or provide comprehensive coverage of extended perimeters or large areas.

Falconet is ideal for robust protection of military facilities, prisons, critical infrastructure, and borders and perimeters. It can be seamlessly integrated into existing counter-UAS and defense detection infrastructures for human-in-the-loop target engagement.

Peregrine Loitering UAS

Tactical loitering platform for munitions and sensor deployment

Peregrine is a dual-use loitering platform that can be used to deploy munitions against anti-armor and anti-materiel targets, as well as for carrying EO/IR sensors for advanced intelligence gathering and situational awareness during the day and at night. Engineered for rapid deployment and mid-range tactical engagement, it can reach dash speeds of up to 500 km/h.Peregrine Loitering UASThe system is deployed via a self-contained tube launcher, and offers encrypted BLOS communications with EW protection. Multiple Peregrine units can operate in swarms, enabling greater coverage or coordinated responses.

UNIFY OS

STANAG 4586-compliant operating system for tactical drones & robotics

UNIFY OS is a cutting-edge hardware-agnostic OS specifically tailored to the needs of UAS and robotics, allowing operators and system integrators to select optimal airframes, sensor technologies and weapons systems according to their operational needs.

UNIFY OS - STANAG 4586-compliant operating system

The STANAG 4586-compliant system also offers a wide variety of functionality focused on effective aerial operations, seamless map integration and real-time telemetry. This includes comprehensive tools for detailed mission planning and data analytics, as well as automation and streamlining of sensor and payload management to reduce the cognitive load on operators.

Tactical GCS

Military-grade ground control systems for UAV & UxV C2

Powered by our advanced STANAG 4586-compliant UNIFY OS, our military-grade portable ground control stations provide secure and intuitive command and control for tactical UAVs and unmanned systems. The versatile units offer seamless map integration, real-time telemetry and reduced cognitive load, and are designed to meet the rigorous standards of defense operations.Military-grade ground control systemsThe product range includes:
