LUNA NG
The new LUNA NG aircraft
The light-weight LUNA NG aircraft is designed as a powered high-performance plane made of glass and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) for long endurance and low acoustic, thermal and radar signatures.
A unique feature of LUNA and LUNA NG is its ability to perform glides without engine power with no acoustic signature and to restart the engine at any time. This permits operations in true acoustic stealth.
The data link transmits reconnaissance and system data from the UAV to the ground control station in real-time. LUNA NG is also able to perform fully automated reconnaissance and surveillance missions, without the need of any radio emissions.
Another unique feature of LUNA and LUNA NG is its inherent crash safety due to its glider performance and reliable parachute release and landing system.
The LUNA and LUNA NG TUAS aircraft can be easily equipped with a data link relay payload, which turns the UAV into a flying relay platform, enabling beyond line-of-sight operation of the unmanned ISR aircraft.
Summer and winter | day and night deployment
Reliable all-weather all-terrain drone systems
Due to its modular, multi payload concept LUNA NG can be fitted with up to three state-of-the-art payloads, including but not limited to:
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), high resolution digital photo or video cameras, onboard data storage, meteorological sensors, radio relay, sensors for land mine detection, EW payloads, AIS (Automatic Identification System), gas and particle samplers, or radioactivity contamination sensors (CBRN).
Luna transport vehicle
Ground Control Station
Thanks to its modular system design, the LUNA NG Ground Control Station (GCS) can be installed in any vehicle or container/shelter.
It is fitted with several work stations equipped with high definition (full HD) colour monitors for real-time aerial image evaluation, mission planning and aircraft control (virtual cockpit). The GCS concept of operations (CONOPS) is based on a user friendly Human-Machine-Interface (HMI).
Complete mission playback for post mission evaluation, simulation and training can be performed in the LUNA NG Ground Control Station.
Mission schedules can be modified in flight. This is particularly advantageous in mountainous terrains and on long distance missions, as the LUNA NG aircraft can be handed over from one ground station to another.
A number of mission planning tools are available to the operator: 2D or 3D allegation of standard maps, satellite or aerial images.
