SDO 50 V2 Helicopter UAV

The SDO 50 is engineered to operate in difficult or dangerous environments where manned aircraft cannot safely perform. Its vertical take-off and landing capability, high-end sensor integration, and robust autonomous flight systems make it ideal for missions in challenging weather, darkness, or hostile areas.

Key Advantages

• Risk Reduction: Safely perform missions in extreme conditions or unsafe areas.

• Cost Efficiency: Reduces operational expenses by up to 70% compared to manned aircraft and requires minimal training.

• CO2 Emissions Reduction: Achieves up to 95% lower emissions versus helicopters.

• Rapid Deployment: Transportable by van; a two-person crew can prepare it for flight in 15 minutes.

Payload & Sensor Capabilities

• Supports a useful payload of up to 33.2 kg (including fuel).

• Flexible integration of multiple sensors and camera systems simultaneously.

• Compatible with high-end navigation and environmental sensors for professional missions.
