Swisscopter NT150 drone recovered from a farm near Basra

seems that a drone was lost, and later recovered from a farm in Abu Al Khasib area.

It could have been a raven?




actually it was a Swisscopter NT150. First time its noted in Iraqi service.

الجيش الايراني عنده مناورات عسكرية قرب الحدود العراقية من جهة البصرة، قد تكون هذه الطائرة المسيرة ضلت عن طريقها و سقطت هناك؟

So now we know the latest addition to Iraq's UAV arsenal is the SwissCopter NT-150.

NT 150
The NT 150 is a flexible, highly capable
tactical unmanned aircraft system, for
military and homeland security applications. The NT 150 unmanned aircraft
system is designed to support ‘Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition
and Reconnaissance’ (ISTAR). The system
is based on an open architecture modular design, able to carry multiple payloads. It’s configuration can be easily
adjusted to suite any operational requirement.
The UAV is constructed out of composite materials, providing the highest load
per empty weight ratio.
The UAV is equiped with an emergency
parachute which is activated in case of
flight safety violations as well as special
landing tactics if required during a regular flight.

Remote Control (1)
The concept of the remote ‘virtual cockpit’ features a headset tracking system,
which displays live images from the UAV
and allows the ‘pilot’ to react instantly.
The communication link has a low latency key – less than 40 ms – enabling
this sort of remote piloting system to
work. The pilot can switch between
sign-on (autopilot) and sign-off mode
(remote control) at any time.
– Pilot’s helmet controls camera in UAV
– Unique, real-time remote control
system (less than 40 ms delay)
– Steering from fixed base cockpit
– View out flying object
– Real-time, no-delay steering response
– Flexible head and eye adjustment
Joystick (2)
– Axes (Roll, Nick, Yaw)
– Ergonomic control stick
– High durability
– Many trims and set up buttons
– Up to 6 optional micro switches
Autopilot
The autopilot is capable of fully automatic takeoff and landing procedures,
as well as following a preset flight plan.
Each flight stage can be configured,
e. g. adapting flaps, locking nose, parachute or taking off and landing on
standard runways.
The integrated radio link allows data
communication ranges in excess of
Tactical UASystems
The Future Is Here
100 kilometres. Once a flight plan is
loaded no ground communication is
needed, this, consequently extends the
range of operation beyond radio reach.
However, with the manual override
mechanism, the pilot has full control
with a joystick over the UAV at any time.
Furthermore, the autopilot can interface
with the engine management / control
system, in order to take full advantage
of the ECU features and to supply realtime engine performance data to the
ground station.
The autopilot can control up to 16 servos
or peripherals. Its interface signals can
be reconfigured as inputs to develop
advanced features such as constantRPM engine control or payload report
signals.
COFDM Modulator /
Demodulator
Despite the compact size, highest signal quality is achieved with an absolute signal delay maximum of 40 ms.
– Low system delay of up to 40 ms
– Compact size
– High performance FFT-MRC diversity
– Interchangeable RF head for other
military bands
– 2.4–2.6 GHz band
– High robustness (COFDM modulation)
– High bit rate
– Programmable channel bandwidth
between 5 and 16 MHz
– ASI output
Stabilized Camera System (3)
A stabilized, ultra-light miniature camera for surveillance and reconnaissance.
– Designed for small UAV’s for overthe-hill applications
– Light weight (650 gr.)
– Line of sight control by the operator
– Gyro stabilized pictures independent
of A/C maneuvers and vibrations
– High resolution color CCD camera
with 10 × optical zoom lens for day
observations
– Night observation capability
(optional)
– RS-232 communication link
– Highly cost effective
Optional Equipment (4)
A wide variety of cameras from FLIR
payloads can be supplied to fulfil
numerous mission requirements like:
– Border control
– Surveillance
– Homeland security
– Police force
– Geological mapping
– Crop spraying
– Infrastructure survey
– Pipeline patrol
– Military application
This is only a small excerpt of a comprehensive application portfolio.
UAVision (5)
UAVision is a geospatially enabled software solution to facilitate all phases of
monitoring and surveillance missions.
It combines state-of-the-art collaborative virtual globe technology with advanced geospatial imaging techniques
and new wireless data link, supporting
the combined, highly reliable transmission of digital video, high-resolution
still imagery and mission control data
over extended operational ranges. UAVision aids planning, simulation, monitoring and rapid mapping of any UAV
mission.
Transponder
The transponder opens ATC controlled
airspace by making the UAV visible to
ATC controllers. The UAV operator will
be able to enter an ID code which is
assigned by the ATC to the transponder
that in return makes the UAV identifiable. The transponder will make the
UAV visible to TCAS operators under
high commercial security and replies to
all mode A and mode C interrogations.
