IAS Mission

International Autonomous Systems, “IAS”, is the premiere UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence.

IAS has two major and totally compatible missions, one commercial and the other national.

Commercial Mission

IAS’s commercial mission is to:

(1) gain market share by volume the class 1 and class 2, “small and medium size” Unmanned Aerial Systems, “UAS” global market within three to five years

(2) promote agressively the use of UASs in specific civil and commercial markets globally and

(3) lead the rapid development and application of UAS driven technologies, systems and solutions in specific defence, civil and commercial markets globally.

International Autonomous Systems, “IAS”, is the premiere UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence. It develops, manufactures, integrates and exports Unmanned Aerial Systems, "UASs", to defence, civil and commercial organisations around the world.

IAS's UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence is unique.

IAS's UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence is a volume manufacturer of Unmanned Aerial Systems and exporter.

All other UAS clusters and centres of excellence in place now or being planned are primarily capability, demonstrator and test sites.

IAS's four UAS Manufacturing Clusters and Centres of Excellence in Europe, MEA, Americas and APAC, once fully operational, are projected to gain market share in the small and medium size global UAS market sector within three to five years.

Only a volume UAS manufacturing cluster and centre of excellence will deliver the global competitiveness and market share in time to meet the current explosion of demand by civil and commercial organisations around the world.

Only a volume UAS manufacturing cluster and centre of excellence will deliver unrelenting innovation which creates competitive advantage and delivers market share and dominance in specific civil and commercial sectors.

Only a volume UAS manufacturing cluster and centre of excellence will deliver sovereignty, capability and cost efficiencies to the national defence agencies to meet the rapidly changing challenges of a largely asymmetric battle landscape now and those unknown threats and theatres in the future.

Only a volume UAS manufacturing cluster and centre of excellence which includes among other unique technologies and systems IAS's portfolio of highly scalable UASs of twelve models with wing spans from 1 meter to 12 meters, together with its unique features can deliver global leadership and dominance.

IAS's portfolio of UASs is unique.

The portfolio consists of a unique highly scalable family of advanced carbon composite, all weather, and capable, blended flying-wing airframes which have a wingspan ranging from 1 to 12 metres, which utilizes the identical scalable design and are manufactured using a construction process known as Advanced Carbon Composite Monocoque, whereby the outer skin is the actual airframe.

The portfolio has three patents or patents pending covering the airframe’s aerodynamic characteristics and manufacturing processes.

The airframe has no separate cylindrical fuselage, wings or tails. The airframe is strong, thick, but lightweight. The air foil shaped fuselage is integrated smoothly into the wings. This design called a “Blended Body” has many advantages over traditional cylindrical fuselage and tail designs. The major advantages include lower power consumption, ability to accommodate larger payload volumes and heavier payload weights, slower minimum stall speeds, minimal damage, and very low life cycle costs.

All payloads and propulsion systems are plug and play. Payloads include sensors, cameras, communications, autopilots, autonomous intelligent controls, targeting systems, command and control systems and armaments.

Propulsion systems include electric, petrol and turbine engines.

Ground Command & Control Systems range from sophisticated full featured open software systems through to specialised hand held devices.

Take off and recovery systems are exceptionally varied and include hand-launch, catapult and wheel based automatic pilot launch, as well as belly landing, net catches, and wheel based landings. Integrated systems are available with a standard package of payloads, engines, command and control, and take off and recovery subsystems, or customised to meet specific mission requirements.

This set of unique and exceptional features offers defence, civil and commercial users extraordinary mission flexibility, interoperability, future proofing and cost effectiveness.

National Mission

IAS’s national mission is to:

(1) contribute materially to achieving a country's national interest programme including both its economic and security objectives and

(2) contribute materially to the advancement of knowledge based applied sciences in educational institutions and industry.

IAS's UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence contributes materially to the National Interest of each of the countries where it is located.

IAS’s UAS Manufacturing Cluster & Centre of Excellence is an important vehicle, by which nations can:

(1) meet their national interest programme's objectives and dramatically change their economies

(2) use IAS’s disruptive technologies to make quantum improvements in the effectiveness of their defence, civil and commercial organisations and

(3) exploit IAS’s UASs broad portfolio of knowledge based technologies to establish and maintain leadership and sovereignty in their development, use and distribution.

National interest programmes are driving momentous changes in domestic economies and are major determinants in the rebalancing of the global economy.

The five most important objectives of these programmes are:

(1) rebalancing of the economy from an overly dominant sector such as oil and gas or financial services to other sectors such as manufacturing

(2) development of knowledge based industries which tightly couple manufacturing, R&D centres and universities to continually produced more advanced products

(3) development of industries which can contribute to greater exports

(4) movement of the nation from primarily a purchaser of strategic foreign products and maintainer of such, to a sovereign producer of these strategic products and

(5) development of businesses which will encourage university graduates and highly skilled persons to take up high value positions in the country or on behalf of the country and attract those who have emigrated back to the country.

IAS's UAS includes these, and other technologies: synthetic aperture radars, nuclear radiation and toxic material detectors; thermal, ground penetrating, see through obstacle, all weather, day/night sensors and cameras; satellite, radio and IP communications; autopilots, avionics and autonomous intelligent controls, target acquisition systems, ground command and control systems; electric, petrol and turbine propulsion systems; advanced carbon fibre materials and manufacturing processes; and air foil designs.

IAS offers governments, industrial & commercial companies, NGO's and universities a unique opportunity to share with us in the rapid development and deployment of systems and technologies which will drive knowledge based industries over the next two decades.

IAS invites strategic partners and customers to use their creativity to advance these systems and technologies.

IAS invites your interest and participation.
