UAV Payload & Subsystems Market Forecast 2014-2024: Top Electro-Optical / Infrared (EO/IR), Radar & Communications Companies for Military ISR

7. Expert Opinion ____ Aeryon Labs Inc. produces the Aeryon Scout and SkyRanger vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)

small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), along with the stabilised EO/IR and imaging payloads for

these systems. Aeryon is based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Mr Ian McDonald, Aeryon’s vice-

president of product and marketing, was interviewed by Visiongain in December 2013 and we are

grateful for his contribution.

7.1.1 Key UAV Payload Products Visiongain: Can you tell us briefly about Aeryon’s key products in terms of sensors and other

payloads for UAVs?

Aeryon’s Ian McDonald: Aeryon focuses on small unmanned aerial systems (UAS), which are

generally considered to be in the micro or mini class. Our systems weigh about five pounds. Our

two products are the Scout, which has been in market since 2009, and the SkyRanger, which was

launched in May 2013. What we have from a payload or sensors perspective is a suite of payloads

that are available for each of those platforms. They are not common in terms of all of the payloads.

In some cases, for the SkyRanger as an example, we’ve created updates to existing payloads or

created new payloads that were now possible with the SkyRanger as a new vehicle platform. Our

core sensors are for imaging, which all provide multiple functions in providing live video that is

streamed to the operator, as well as -distributed to other end points such as a command centre.

The cameras also allow you to take still images which can be relayed to the operator or stored in

high-definition to be reviewed later. We have different payloads that are focused on high-definition

still imagery and others focused more on tactical video.

7.1.2 Unique Characteristics of Product Offerings Visiongain: What makes your UAV payload solutions different compared with those offered by

other companies?

Aeryon’s Ian McDonald: Our systems are recognised for three characteristics: ease of use,

performance, and reliability. These relate to all of our products, including UAV payloads. We

deliver payloads that are integrated with our systems and our mission control software, so they’re

easy to use. Control of the system and payload is through a touch screen interface. We factor in

the field of view of the camera and its optical characteristics in our systems both for video and still

images. From a reliability perspective, we also develop our own mechanical housing for a lot of our

France Skylark I and Wasp III small UAVs

The French DGA in 2010 provided Wasp III, by US

company Aerovironment, with mini UAVs for use

by French special forces.

US RQ-11B Raven The RQ-11B Raven is a hand-launched small

UAV organic to US Army brigade combat teams

(BCTs) and also used by the US Marine Corps.

The Army intends to procure around 2,400 Raven

systems (7,200 air vehicles) although the number

could still rise significantly plans to increase the

number assigned to its BCTs push through.

FY 2013

US Puma AE The US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is

buying the bigger Puma AE (all-environment),

also produced by AeroVironment. The contract

signed with US SOCOM in 2008 could potentially

be worth up to $200m if all order options are

made. While the Puma was initially acquired by

the USSOCOM, the US Army in general has also

sought to acquire Pumas, with an initial

requirement for 72 systems that could rise

dramatically if the service identifies the need for

a hand-launched UAV that is notably bigger to

complement its Ravens.

US Wasp UAV The US Marines have adopted AeroVironment's

Wasp III as the UAV that will equip its platoons.

These are smaller than the Army's Raven series,

and are more portable. The barely one-pound

(430g) Wasp has an endurance of 45 minutes. In

May 2012, the US Air Force ordered

Aerovironment’s new Wasp AE (all-environment)

UAV in its Battlefield Air Targeting Micro Air

Vehicle (BATMAV) programme in a deal worth

$2.5m in
