Remarks (Bemerkungen)
The Integrator unmanned aircraft system (UAS) is the next generation addition to Insitu's well known Scan Eagle military UAV. Main design driver was easy payload integration for a wide variety of missions. This was achieved with a large payload bay between the electro-optical sensor head in the front and the engine in the rear. In the baseline configuration, Integrator can carry inertially stabilized electro-optical (EO), long wave infrared (LWIR), and mid wave infrared (MWIR) cameras with optional IR marker and laser rangefinder.
The system has a center section core that is designed so all parts can adapt and be structurally sized for growth. Integrator also provides a replaceable, modular design that includes propulsion modules, nose and internal CG bays, wings and tails. When broken-down the system fits easily in the back of pick-up trucks or Humvees. It has twin tails.
The Scan Eagle and Integrator are interoperable, using common ground system components. They are launched by a pneumatic catapult and recovered by the “SkyHook” wingtip snag method, and so do not need a runway.
History (Geschichte)
Development of the Integrator began in 2005 with company money.
A prototype Integrator first flew in 2006.
Insitu announced its Integrator UAS on 7 August 2007 at the AUVSI conference in Washington D.C.
