Scout integrated with Northrop Grumman's HART System

This week as DSEi in London, England, Northrop Grumman introduced an unmanned aircraft data management system to the European market, to allow troops on the ground to “eliminate the tunnel-vision of the battlefield”. The HART (Heterogeneous Airborne Reconnaissance Team) allows soldiers at small unit level without their own UAS to benefit from the plethora of assets overflying the battle-space. A Datron Scout is on display in the Northrop Grumman booth at DSEi providing a live demonstration of its integration with the system.

Scout performing LIVE demonstrations at DSEi

Live demonstrations of the Scout are being conducted this week at DSEi in London. Datron World Communications, with its partner Marlborough Communications, are doing 2 demonstrations of the Scout each day. As part of an anti-piracy scenario, multiple Scout micro UAVs are being flown simultaneously by one pilot, and multicasting live video to a large TV display on site. Two highly successful demonstrations have been conducted already, with winds up to 40 km/h and in rainy conditions. Please consult the show guide for demonstration locations and times.
