STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITIES

Strategic Opportunities

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

The UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence is unique.

All other UAS clusters and centres of excellence in place now or being planned are primarily capability, demonstrator and test sites, many of which are engaged only in developing technologies and subsystems to satisfy proposed government rules covering UAS flights in integrated air space, where unmanned aircraft are integrated into civil airspace.

On the other hand, the IAS's UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence is a volume manufacturer of Unmanned Aerial Systems and exporter.

Collaboration

IAS's UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence is the developer, manufacturer and integrator of a very broad portfolio of advanced knowledge based technologies

The UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence is a decidely collaborative and tightly coupled Advanced Research & Development, High Volume Production and Global Distribution facility.

At the heart of the UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence is the manufacture of advanced IAS’s proprietary UAS airframes and integration of a number of subsystems.

Surrounding the airframe manufacturing facility are a number of suppliers providing best of class sensors, cameras, networks, command & control systems, and launch and recovery gear.

Working closely with both the UAS airframe manufacturing facility and system suppliers are research and development departments of universities and independent organisations.

IAS's portfolio of UASs is unique.

The portfolio consists of a unique highly scalable family of advanced carbon composite, all weather, and 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.
