FUSION Sentinel - Magnus Aircraft Zrt. -

With a maximum take-off mass of 600 kilograms, Magnus Fusion Sentinel is a carbon fibre reinforced composite aircraft equipped with a surveillance camera system. Thanks to its specific instruments, this aircraft is capable of aerial surveillance and monitoring widespread territorries at a fraction of operating costs of vehicles and aircraft commonly used for this purpose in many countries at proportionately much lower emissions.

Aerial observation

The special features and its camera system allows it to perform additional tasks such as night surveillance, surveillance using thermographic camera, target tracking, or surveillance of magnetic fields.

With its versatile features and special sensors, the Magnus Sentinel is suitable for the forestry sector, offering the possibility to monitor e.g. biodiversity, biomass rate and biomass quantity. It can also be of great help to agricultural areas in monitoring vegetation, nutrient and moisture levels, wildlife damage and weeds, among others, or even in the sectors of health, border protection, immigration, where it can provide immediate assistance, optionally complemented by a ground base equipped with specific capabilities.

Multi-axis gyroscopic stabilisation system

The surveillance camera system with optional accessories and features is mounted under the wing onto the designated interface. The camera system can transmit high-resolution, HD quality live images (even encrypted ones) without delay over distances of up to 100 kilometres. In this case, the camera system can be easily remotely operated not only onboard but also from a land-based workstation.

Reinforced structure

With its reinforced airframe and aerofoil design the aircraft is highly resistant and easily maneouverable at the same time. The composite airframe structure and the symmetrical aerofoil allows the aircraft to manoeuvre safely.

As a result of technology and design of the airframe structure its fuel consumption is extremely low, the aircraft consumes only 16 to 21 liters of 95 octane unleaded petrol per one hour flight.

Ground base

It can be easily set up in any climate condition and perilous situation. The system can generate its own energy demand and provide the right security level as a response to different threat levels. The equipment is individually designed and can be supplied with security, medical or emergency equipment in addition to the Sentinel system. The units can be delivered fully equipped with checkpoint surveillance systems and border protection systems.

Fusion Sentinel is available in various packages, with possibility to include a land-based workstation.
