FORECASTER
Product descripton: FORECASTER by Unmanned Defense Systems (UDS)
The leading endurance ISTAR platform, capable of executing missions typically reserved for larger UAVs despite its mini-segment size.
Featuring auto frequency selection for electronic warfare resilience, the FORECASTER ensures mission reliability in contested environments. Seamlessly integrated with SitaWare HQ and ATAK, this UAV provides exceptional situational awareness and operational efficiency. With robust capabilities, the FORECASTER is optimized for ISTAR missions deep within enemy territory, gathering critical information and real-time support for fire units while maintaining a stealthy presence.

Baseline product configuration
Military-Grade Rugged Tablet
A robust, field-ready interface designed for operators in challenging environments, ensuring reliable communication and control during mission-critical operations.
Modular Ground Station Kit
A highly adaptable and configurable ground station solution, designed to support a wide range of UAV operations with seamless integration and enhanced operational control.
Edge Computing Module – sMatrix
The onboard edge computing module, sMatrix, enables precise coordination for autonomous swarming operations, high-probability object recognition, and many other Al pilot-enhanced functions.
Integration with SwarmC2 System
Autonomous Swarm Control System
The system enables UAV swarms to operate autonomously and efficiently, with built-in collision avoidance and self-adjusting capabilities. The vehicles can independently modify their altitude, flight path, and formation without human intervention, allowing for seamless operation and reduced operator workload.
Automated Mission Continuity System
The system enables automatic mission takeover, where a new UAV seamlessly replaces one that is running low on power or encountering issues, ensuring continuous mission execution without interruption.
NATO Standard Synchronization Matrix
The NATO Standard Synchronization Matrix ensures that UAVs operate within specified timeframes and designated areas, with real-time information provided by the operator’s Battle Management System (BMS). This gives command centers full awareness of vehicle locations and flight schedules, ensuring coordinated and compliant operations.
