Small Tactical UAS

Aliaca is a robust imagery tool that enhances ISR capabilities, supporting decision making and operational responsiveness. The Aliaca Evo has been in operational service with the French Navy since 2022 and is certified and qualified by the French defence procurement agency (DGA). The Aliaca line of UAS is based on this sea-proven, fixed wing configuration, and also includes a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) configuration. Both are available in two propulsion variants: electric (Aliaca Evo) or piston engine (Aliaca ER).  All configurations share the same autopilot and ground control station, and are equipped with high-performance ISR payloads including a gyro-stabilised EO/IR GX5 turret and Automatic Identification System (AIS).

The Aliaca VTOL configuration is particularly well-suited for operations in confined or infrastructure-limited environments and is capable of navigating in GNSS-denied environments. Compact, discreet, and easy to transport, it ensures reliable performance in both land and maritime domains.

The Aliaca fixed wing configuration is launched by catapult and recovered by a proven, safe, intelligent and automatic net recovery system integrated on the ship or on a trailer for land operations. Its small logistical footprint is compatible with existing and future naval vessels, regardless of the size and availability of a helipad.

Electrically-powered Evo propulsion variants enable missions to be carried out in complete acoustic discretion, whereas the Extended Range (ER) piston engine propulsion variants double the endurance and increase endurance. The engine is compatible with JET A1, JP5 and JP8 fuel.

Capa-X is a flexible drone system that can be easily adapted to a wide range of missions, configurations, airworthiness and sovereignty requirements.

The structure of the drone itself, as well as its components, can be modified to adapt to all types of terrain and missions. It can take off from a ship as a VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) or HTOL (Horizontal Take-Off and Landing), depending on the customer's requirements. The possibility of different wing configurations also plays a key role in adapting cruising speeds or increasing flight autonomy.

This concept offers maximum flexibility and adaptability for armies, navies, air forces, special forces and any parapublic or civil entity.

We go beyond offering an aircraft. We provide comprehensive services (system supply, parts, spares, maintenance and training of operators and maintenance technicians), as well as services to perform complete turnkey missions and support our customers in the deployment and operation of the systems.

A global and comprehensive training package for the operation and maintenance of the Survey Copter small tactical portfolio is provided by in-house experts.

Adaptability:

• With a limited footprint, our Small Tactical portfolio can be adapted to the ever-changing customer environment, such as on a ship without a helicopter platform

Mobility in the field:

• Ease of deployment and fully automated recovery
• Agile preparation, can be pre-flight checked and deployed within 15 minutes
• Easy transport thanks to the small footprint of our systems

Accuracy:

• Operation in challenging environments, programmed and manoeuvred with accuracy and greater range of movement compared to manned assets to precise locations

Support to manned assets:

• Reduces workload and complements manned assets

Reliable, Safe, Certified:   

• Proven capabilities, adapted to perform missions in all conditions and environments
• Quality Management System ISO 9001 certified since 2014
• EN 9100 quality certification for the aeronautics industry since 2023 
• Experience in the certification of our systems

Ground Control

Survey Copter’s Small Tactical UAS common ground station is compact and lightweight. With a small logistical footprint it is flexible for missions on the go, and can be easily moved to where it is needed. The GCS consists of an Aircraft Mission Station (AMS) and a Payload Display Unit (PDS), where two operators can prepare and track missions on the AMS and receive real-time data and imagery on the PMS.
