System Capabilities

A single TUAV system includes three Sama 600-G1 air vehicles

with a fourth air vehicle as part of the issued equipment of the
maintenance section. The air vehicle is constructed of metal
and composite materials, with a wingspan of (4.86 meters), and
length of (3.95 meters). Power is provided by a commercial 2 x
11hp - horsepower piston engine that uses motor gasoline (MO-
GAS) Jet engines (optional for a special missions with limited
endurance of 40 min. with high-speed).
The payload has a commercially available electro-optic and
infrared camera, and communications equipment for command
and control and imagery dissemination. Onboard global posi-
tioning system instrumentation provides navigation informa-
tion.
The air vehicle is intended to provide coverage of a brigade
area of interest for up to six hours, at 90 kilometers from the
launch and recovery site. The maximum range is 150 kilometers
(limited by data link capability), and operations are generally
conducted from 8,000 to 10,000 feet above ground level during
the day and 6,000 to 8,000 feet above ground level at night.
The air vehicle uses a pneumatic launcher and is recovered by a
tactical automatic landing system without pilot intervention on
the runway. The air vehicle is stopped using an arresting hook
and cable system.
The TUAV system must provide 12 hours of continuous opera-
tions within a 24-hour period. It must be able to surge to 18
hours within a 24-hour period, for up to three consecutive days.
The system must be able to keep pace with a brigades move-
ment, with rapid emplacement/displacement times. An air
vehicle may be passed between control stations or launch and
recovery stations to facilitate these requirements.
Sama 600-G1 Twin-engine (UAV) Manufacturing Program
Light Attack Surveillance and Reconnaissance Platform
The Sama 600-G1 is a small, lightweight, and twin-engines tactical UAV
system. The system is comprised of air vehicles, modular mission payloads,
ground control stations, launch and recovery equipment, and communica-
tions equipment. It will carry enough supplies and spares for an initial 100
hours of operation. It will be transportable in two high mobility multi-
purpose wheeled vehicles (4x4) with shelters, and two additional 4x4s with
trailers as troop carriers.
