Automomous Systems

 

International Autonomous Systems, “IAS” develops, manufactures, integrates and exports Unmanned Aerial Systems, "UASs", to defence, civil and commercial organisations around the world.

IAS’s Unmanned Aerial Systems portfolio is based on its unique combination of: (1) highly scalable carbon composite blended flying wing UAS platforms, (2) proprietary volume manufacturing processes, and (3)the most effective and cost efficient solutions for defence, civil and commercial organisations around the world. 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 3 to 40 feet, 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, and command and control systems. 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 user’s extraordinary mission flexibility, interoperability, future proofing and cost effectiveness.

IAS's UAS Platform Manufacturing is Unique IAS's UAS platform manufacturing process is proprietary and has patents pending. Each of the twelve platform models from 3 to 40 foot wingspans are manufactured in its own mould which produces the entire airframe in a single step.

This process reduces the time and cost of manufacture materially. This process has the capacity to build two airframes per model per day. Most other manufacturing processes require from one to six months depending on the size of the airframe to produce a single platform.

Even so IAS plans to expand its manufacturing capacity to meet the expected exponential growth in demand for UASs. IAS is creating manufacturing capacity in four major regions to better meet regional needs as well as global demand.

In Asia Pacific it is developing collaborative relationships with major aerospace manufacturing and MRO companies to develop indigenous UAS platforms and systems and to produce IAS's portfolio of platforms.

In the Middle East it is developing collaborative relationships with government agencies to produce IAS's portfolio of platforms and systems and establish UAS centres of excellence.

In Europe, IAS is planning to establish a wholly owned UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence at Belfast International Airport, Northern Ireland, UK.

In the United States, it plans to expand its manufacturing base in line with its participation in the FAA's new Integrated Airspace program and its supply to US government and commercial organisations.

In addition to commercial considerations, IAS's Volume UAS Manufacturing Clusters and Centres of Excellence may contribute materially to the National Interest of each of the countries where it is located. 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 primary mission is to contribute materially to achieving a country's national interest programme including both its economic and security objectives. Our UAS Manufacturing Cluster & Centre of Excellence is an important vehicle, which nations can take advantage of, to meet their national interest programme's objectives and dramatically change their economies. Further, these nations can use our disruptive technologies to make quantum improvements in the effectiveness of their defence, civil and commercial organisations.

IAS's Volume UAS Manufacturing Cluster and Centre of Excellence is the developer, manufacturer and/or integrator of a very broad portfolio of advanced knowledge based technologies and thereby supports our host countries' objective of establishing leadership and sovereignty in their development, use and distribution. Our 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 invites potential strategic partners and customers to participate in these Volume UAS Manufacturing Clusters and Centres of Excellence and invites any interested persons or organisations to offer their creative ideas or interests to further the advancement and use of these systems and technologies around the world. IAS offers governments, industrial and 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.
