SHARK-M UAS

SHARK-M represents the next evolutionary step of a battlefield-proven unmanned aerial system, redesigned to deliver greater endurance, extended range, improved EW resistance, and simplified operation. It is an electric UAS intended for day-and-night autonomous reconnaissance, surveillance, and signal relay missions at operational depths of up to 180 km.

Core Capabilities

• Fully autonomous flight with automatic and manual modes

• Practical reconnaissance depth up to 180 km

• Long endurance missions of up to 7 hours on a single charge

• Operation in contested electronic warfare environments

• Rapid deployment with a small crew

Endurance & Power

SHARK-M is equipped with new-generation batteries offering 170% higher capacity than previous variants. This enables record airborne endurance, allowing operators to:

• Cover significantly larger areas

• Maintain persistent surveillance

• Operate effectively in difficult weather and EW conditions

Electronic Warfare Resistance

Designed for modern contested airspace, SHARK-M features:

• A new high-power radio modem (up to 250% stronger than previous versions)

• Advanced anti-jamming and anti-spoofing measures

• Stable encrypted communications even under GNSS disruption

Crew Safety & Deployment

Operator safety is enhanced through:

• An extension kit that allows antenna equipment to be placed away from the crew

• A remote control terminal for launch and recovery from a safe distance

• Deployment readiness within 30 minutes by a two-person crew

Sensors & Payloads

SHARK-M supports a modular line of gyro-stabilized EO and EO/IR gimbals with:

• Day detection ranges up to 35 km

• Night detection ranges up to 14 km

• Continuous 360° rotation without blind spots

• Universal payload connector compatible with future sensors

Ground Control Station

The upgraded Ground Control Station (GCS) enables:

• Secure AES-256 encrypted communications

• Mission control at ranges up to 180 km

• Carousel operation (launching replacement UAVs without interrupting reconnaissance)

• Control of multiple UAVs from a single GCS

• Integration into rugged 4×4 vehicles for mobile operations

Additional Operational Features

• Signal relay capability for strike UAVs

• Heated Pitot tube for reliable airspeed data in cold or EW-degraded environments

• Switchable navigation lights for visibility or stealth

• Battery compatibility with SHARK-D systems
