The SHEPHERD-MIL which is designed to look as a bird is also propelled by a 24V DC motor in order to provide an extremely silent solution. Thanks to the combination of those features, the SHEPHERD-MIL can get closer to the objectives to perform ISR and target acquisition missions without being recognized. On top of this the SHEPHERD-MIL can reproduce the birds’ circular flights to give a natural touch to its flight. The SHEPHERD-MIL is a hand launched UAV that needs less than 6 minutes to be deployed. In addition, this UAV can land on any field, no runways are required. The SHEPHERD-MIL is part of a complete indirect fire solution. Indeed, with EIMOS integrated Mortar system, SHEPHERD-MIL UAV forward observer, TECHFIRE Command and Control system and its mortar and artillery ammunitions EXPAL provides to its customers all what is needed in an indirect fire situation. In this scope, the SHEPHERD-MIL can be directly integrated to TECHFIRE, EXPAL´s fire support system for target acquisition functions. |
