In September 2020, Icarus Aerospace partnered with CAE Defence and Security for the integration of MAD-XR magnetic anomaly detection sensor in a towed configuration.
TAV is the first member in the family which also includes WASP and BRANTA versions. WASP is a militarised-armed version intended for use in close-air support (CAS), maritime and coastal patrol and anti-submarine warfare, and surveillance missions.
The platform will be fully network-centric and SWARM capable. It will have the capacity to accommodate up to two crew members in a tandem layout. The cockpit will be installed with latest avionics configuration including sensor fusion and network centric capabilities.
The aircraft will be integrated with a MAD-XR highly-sensitive magnetometer which is designed to detect changes in the earth’s magnetic field. The MAD-XR system will provide a cost-effective solution for submarine tracking and detection.
The aircraft can operate in different environments such as day, night, VMC/ IMC, all-weather, flight into known icing (FIKI), gravel and unprepared rough runways, and austere conditions.
The optional equipment and systems such as auxiliary power unit and a 360° active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar can also be installed aboard the aircraft. In addition to an optionally installed 360-degree AESA radar and up to two FLIR turrets (chin and belly mounted, retractable), the WASP will be able to carry 3 600 kg of weapons on 11 external hard-points (guided bombs and rockets, torpedoes, sonobuoys, air-to-air missiles) and a forward firing fixed cannon or an optional belly-mounted cannon up to 30 mm. Leonardo Company offers the Osprey radar for the aircraft.

Taking Flight On Another World
The Mars Helicopter, Ingenuity, is a technology demonstration model to test powered, controlled flight on another world for the first time. It hitched a ride to Mars on the Perseverance rover. Once the rover reached a suitable "airfield" location, it released Ingenuity to the surface so it could perform a series of test flights over a 30-Martian-day experimental window.
Thales Completes Successful First Flight Of New UAS With Range Capabilities Of Over 100 Km
• With a hybrid propulsion system for optimum safety, endurance and discretion, Thales's UAS 100 long-range unmanned air system for civil, government and military users will be able to operate at ranges of more than 100 km. • UAS 100 combines world-class flight safety performance with the compact design required for unmanned air systems, and complies with future European regulations for drone flights over populated areas. • The system will meet the requirements of a broad range of missions, including infrastructure inspection, coastal surveillance, border surveillance, event security, search-and-rescue and military operations.
