Silent Falcon UAS Technologies (exhibiting on booth #330), manufacturer of long range, long endurance, silent, solar-electric powered Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), has partnered with Ascent Vision, specialists in precision-imaging Gimbal Sensor Technology, making Ascent Vision their preferred supplier of gimbaled payloads.

“The SILENT FALCON UAS can easily integrate a wide variety of payloads, and we have integrated five different gimbaled payloads so far,” John W. Brown, Silent Falcon’s CEO, explained. “The Ascent Vision CM100 is by far the best ISR gimbaled payload we’ve flown in our Silent Falcon UAS. It has been proven in numerous flights for numerous customers in all types of conditions in locations all around the world. It is our first choice for applications and customers who want leading edge technology in a smaller format payload.”

“We are very excited to be selected by Silent Falcon to provide our products for those customers requiring gimbaled payloads for their missions,” Tim Sheehy, Ascent Vision Founder and CEO, continued. “The state-of-the-art design and operational capabilities of the Silent Falcon are truly unique, allowing it to be used for a wide range of missions. We look forward to working with them when the mission requires a gimbal payload.”

Silent Falcon UAS Technologies manufactures a complete solar-electric, carbon fibre unmanned aircraft that is lightweight and silent, serving numerous types of applications in the military, security, public safety, and commercial sectors. The payload bay was designed specifically to accommodate a wide-variety of payloads. “The CM100 has been perfectly integrated using our proprietary, custom mounts and its light weight and size allows the Silent Falcon to maximize its long range and long endurance capabilities,” Brown mentioned.

Ascent Vision manufactures a variety of gimbaled technologies, including the CM100. This Dual-Sensor Gyro-Stabilised Gimbal imaging system has been specifically designed for use on unmanned aircraft. With its light weight and size, the CM100 is easily integrated and mounted into almost any platform. The innovative CM100 provides great performance and cost-effective value with reliable results.

In addition to the preferred provider relationship, Silent Falcon has also signed an agreement allowing Ascent Vision to represent the SILENT FALCON UAS in their integrated sales efforts. This will help streamline acquisition of products for customers and also increase market penetration, according to the company
