Autonomous Rotary Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (RUAV) manufacturer Steadicopter, unveiled its new Golden Eagle RUAV at the Defence Exhibition Athens (DEFEA), which took place 9-11 May 2023.
Designed for defense, homeland security and civil applications, Golden Eagle can provide tactical maneuvering forces with remote terrain dominance and pinpoint accurate lethal capabilities. According to Steadicopter, Golden Eagle is the first unmanned helicopter with precise aerial strike capabilities, which enables both military and security forces to meet the challenges of the modern battlefield and complex environments.
Based on the company’s combat-proven Black Eagle 50E platform, Golden Eagle uses advanced AI-based technology and a remotely operated smart robotic weaponry payload. This AI-based technology enables superior situational awareness and autonomous multi-target classification and tracking, while the payload locks on the target, tracks it and ensures a precise hit on target.
Golden Eagle integrates Smartshooter’s SMASH Dragon system – a stabilization concept with proprietary target acquisition, tracking algorithms and computer vision capabilities that allow accurate hitting of static and moving targets. The system can employ various types of assault rifles, sniper rifles, 40mm and other munitions with great precision.
Lightweight, cost-effective, simple to operate, and easy to maintain, with long mission endurance, Golden Eagle’s Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) capabilities allow for successful mission completion.
