Introduction
Milkor 380
The Ground Data Terminal (GDT) comprises of primary communication link equipment, which includes an antenna positioner equipped with both a parabolic and omni antenna, as well as a C-band transmitter. This setup facilitates the transmission of video and data between the ground station and UAV. Additionally, there is a backup communication link that consists of an omni antenna and UHF transmitter, enabling a data interface between the ground station and UAV.
The Ground Control Station (GCS) is composed of multiple identical workstations that serve as control interfaces for the UAV, controlling the installed payload(s) and displaying relevant information. The ground control station (GCS) incorporates a modular design approach, enabling customisation for individual customers to ensure the unmanned vehicle operates optimally and functions according to their specific requirements.

The Milkor 380 platform integrates world-leading optical equipment for real-time high-definition, infrared multispectral video and data acquisition. It includes Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (iSAR) for maritime monitoring. The Milkor 380 is operationally versatile with autonomous flight, take-off, and landing achieved through its onboard control system.
It features pathway placement and loiter patterns for complex mission success. The design incorporates five hardpoints for interchangeable electronic warfare solutions, weapon systems, and containers.
Design and Manufacturing
AIRCRAFT DESIGN AND FABRICATION
Our experienced team of designers is dedicated to achieving a comprehensive aircraft design that meets all requirements with utmost precision. They meticulously address key aspects such as aerodynamics, propulsion, performance, structural systems, control systems, and more. By carefully considering factors like the fuselage shape, engine size, and numerous other parameters, our designers aim to optimise every aspect of the aircraft’s design. Their expertise and attention to detail ensure that the final product is finely tuned for optimal performance, efficiency, and safety.

COMPOSITE MANUFACTURING
Composite parts offer a combination of strength, stiffness, and lightweight properties, allowing for the creation of complex shapes. They are wellsuited for applications such as fibreglass shells and covers that require large, intricate structures. Composites find extensive use in aerospace, vehicular, naval, and industrial applications where high performance and excellent mechanical properties are crucial. The availability of various glass and resin combinations make composites an ideal choice for meeting specific performance requirements.
Flight Testing
FLIGHT TESTING IS PERFORMED IN DISTINCT PHASES:
• Pre-deployment ground testing
• Taxi testing
• Flight testing
• Automatic Take-off and Landing (ATOL) and Pilot Assisted Take-off
and Landing (PATOL) testing
• During each of these phases, the TGCS, GDT, and Support group will also undergo testing to ensure functionality and acceptability
