Arkeus is pleased to announce the integration of its Warden Hyperspectral Optical Radar (HSOR) with the UAVE Prion Mk3 D15, a UK designed and manufactured, long-endurance uncrewed aerial vehicle. This collaboration creates a powerful, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) solution for the United Kingdom and international markets.
The integration combines Arkeus's advanced AI-powered Warden sensor with the proven persistence and reliability of the Prion Mk3 D15 platform. This creates a formidable capability for wide-area maritime surveillance, search and rescue, border protection and environmental monitoring. The system is engineered to deliver real-time detection and classification in complex operational environments where conventional optical systems have limited capability.
This new capability is tailored to meet the demanding requirements of customers such as the UK Ministry of Defence, Coastguard Agencies and other international defence and security partners.
"This latest integration marks another pivotal step in delivering next-generation ISR capabilities," said Simon Olsen, CEO of Arkeus. "By combining our Warden HSOR with the robust UAVE Prion Mk3 D15, we are providing a world-class solution that enhances situational awareness and delivers a decisive operational advantage to our customers. We are proud to work with UAVE to bring this capability to the UK."
“The Warden hyperspectral sensor capability is a sophisticated complimentary ISR solution for our Dragon Series of long flight endurance UAS.” said Phillip Slater, Managing Director, UAVE Ltd. “Operated with simultaneous EO/IR payload optics on the D50, the big brother of the D15used for the initial engineered trial, The Warden will excel and deliver a rich diverse high-quality technical data suite to provide an AI enhanced knowledge for accurate determination of outcomes by air and ground based End Users”.
The fusion of Arkeus’s hyperspectral sensing technology with the Prion Mk3 D15’s exceptional endurance provides operators with unparalleled insights and decision superiority across a range of critical missions, day or night.
This latest partnership underscores Arkeus's commitment to delivering transformative optical sensing solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern defence and security operations.
