Description

The PD-2 Ukrainian Fixed-Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a ready-to-fly versatile modular solution designed for the execution of various missions in a wide geographic range and approved by militaries for militaries. The system is packed with high-end technologies, AES 128/256 encryption, advanced payloads, and anti-jamming technologies. PD-2 UAS is well-suited for military use, border control, surveillance, power line inspections, aerial photography, agriculture, search and rescue, and public safety applications.

Configurations The PD-2 UAV was designed to change its configuration within 15 minutes with no tools required, depending on the mission factor. Rapidly change airframe configuration on the go wherever you are within 15 minutes. No tools are required. You can change take-off and landing methods, wingspan, endurance, MTOW, and payload weight.
Configuration 1 VTOL fixed-wing configuration
Configuration 2 Conventional fixed-wing configuration with chassis
Configuration 3 Conventional fixed-wing configuration without chassis
Launching System Vertical, using 4 electric motors. No runway needed, able to take-off and land on a ship deck. Catapult launch and parachute recovery. No runway or chassis is needed.
Recovery System Vertical, using 4 electric motors. No runway needed, able to take-off and land on a ship deck. Catapult launch and parachute recovery. No runway or chassis is needed.
Ground Control Station GCS has two laptops for easy integration wherever you need (truck, container, etc). If the relief is flat and open it’s enough to use quadropod, once mission faces difficult terrain motorized mast comes in hand. Ground control station automatically enables frequency hopping in case of GNSS or signal loss. Moreover, there’s advanced software, that ensures features mentioned above to work perfectly on-the-go with no human intervention.
Payload Options LiDAR, SAR, IMSI Cather, Radio Repeater

Communications
Radio Control Maximum Range Encrypted Radio Communications Distance of 200 km. Standard communication configuration contains line of sight ground control station, using radio connection. It has two datalinks (the main one, used for video and telemetry exchange within 200+ km range, and backup one, for telemetry only), with the feature of automatic hopping between them in case of GNSS or signal loss and AES-256 encryption.
3G/LTE communication Data transmission is carried out using secure VPN technologies using TLS, IPSec, PPTP, L2TP protocols. This option allows you to establish communication with the UAV without range restrictions, provided that the cellular network coverage is stable. To ensure reliability, the modem registers itself simultaneously in the networks of two different operators of the cellular network and automatically selects the best one.
SATCOM Line of sight type links certainly have their limitations due to range and weather interference. Satcom has historically been perceived as BLOS communication system, ensuring stable connection and data transmission at respective ranges. Provides low radio signature due to a narrow directional L-band antenna. Compatible with government grade encryption and secure communications standards, STU-IIIB, STE, TACLANE, KIV-7 and BRENT.
