Mariner – UAV
Mariner,
a derivative of the highly successful Predator B, is a high-altitude,
multipurpose aircraft suited for long endurance maritime and border
surveillance missions. Configured to carry additional fuel, Mariner can
operate on missions up to 49 hours, providing real-time and persistent
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) intelligence to users
around the globe. In addition to over 800 lb of internal payload capacity, Mariner can also carry up to 3,800 lb of external payloads providing for multiple
and simultaneous mission capacity from one aircraft.
The
Mariner is designed to meet the requirements of the U.S. Navy’s Broad Area
Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) program as it can provide intelligence data
directly into the C4 system architecture for both “on target” tracking and
regional surveillance requirements. In addition, Mariner is the system of
choice for homeland security as well as for several international maritime
opportunities requiring a reliable, cost-effective unmanned aircraft system.
