AERTEC’s
TARSIS Excels in Spanish Army Manoeuvres
AERTEC’s TARSIS unmanned aerial systems just took part in the GUILOCHE 22 exercise campaign at the Spanish Army’s San Gregorio Training Centre as an aerial observation platform.
During these
manoeuvres, the TARSIS UAS were used to provide support to meet the campaign’s
objectives: identify objectives, target acquisition and shot correction
support, providing highly accurate coordinates and transferring all this
information to the Command Post via the IRIS/TALOS system, the Artillery
Command and Control system into which TARSIS is fully integrated.
The TARSIS system
carried out missions lasting over 4.5 hours flying at heights of up to 10,000
feet, covering all the assigned objectives and completing all the flight
periods, thus demonstrating its operational maturity and reliability. By
participating in this type of campaign, the TARSIS demonstrate their ability to
operate in far afield scenarios, providing accurate information in virtually
real time, and showcase their advanced capabilities for the defence sector in
this type of environment.
The TARSIS has a
range of up to 140 km and can determine the coordinates of a target to within 5
m at a distance of more than 3 km. It is also one of the few class-I RPAS.
The use of RPAS as an observation and surveillance platform will be increasingly necessary to avoid risk to people. To do this, these unmanned systems must have a range that allows them to be deployed from positions far away from both their own command posts and the target area. And despite operating at long distances, they must have payloads that can identify objectives from a long distance and at high altitude and determine their coordinates with sufficient accuracy.
The TARSIS is
integrated into the Ministry of Defence’s RAPAZ Programme, and has already
taken part in several flight campaigns to certify its technological
capabilities. Over the course of 2022, it was also used at the Air and Space
Force’s UAV School, as well as in various units and commands during NATO’s
Rapid Deployment Capacity LIVEX exercises, such as the SOFEX 2022 exercise, led
by the Joint Special Operations Command.
