The Skua has an all-composite, low-drag airframe with a wingspan of 3.57 m and length of 6 m. Wing hard-points are provided to carry up to 130 kg of tow-targets and signature augmentation equipment. An internal bay can house a payload of up to 30 kg.
OPERATION
Deployment
The system is easily transportable by land, sea and air, and can be deployed in less than a day. No sophisticated range equipment is required for system operation.
Launcher
The zero-length launcher is easily deployed. It includes self-loading and engine-starting facilities.
Flight Control
Following launch, all flight path and drone manoeuvres are controlled by a telecommand and telemetry link between the drone and ground station. The drone can also fly autonomously to a programmed mission plan.
SYSTEM FEATURES
! Reliable communications link ! Easy deployment and recovery ! Large payload capacity ! Programmable missions ! Radar and infrared tow targets
Recovery
A two-stage parachute system is used to recover the drone. The drone lands in an inverted horizontal position on pneumatic landing bags. It can also be recovered over water.
