Sentinel PG-7 Unmanned Aerial Vessel

The PG-7 Maritime Patrol Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), augmenting the reconnaissance capabilities for battalion or brigade commanders and providing real-time situational awareness

PG-7 Spec Sheet

Propelled by an electric engine, the PG-7 boasts a range of 100 kilometers, with the potential for further extension owing to its exceptional airframe flight capabilities, featuring an impressive 1:8 glide ratio. The PG-7's high-performance attributes enable it to operate in silent mode, particularly advantageous when approaching sensitive areas. Its thoughtfully designed construction materials contribute to a low radar signature, facillitating a stealthy approach and minimising the risk of detection.

With a current payload capacity of 10 kilograms, the airframe can be equipped with mesh network radios and a flight control system developed in collabpration with The Boeing Corporation. The PG-7 comes with an onboard tracking camera and customisation options are available. Crafted in-house the PG-7 can be scaled up with wingspans of 3.6 metres or 4.2 metres, providing payload capabilites of 80 kilograms, allowing for tailoring to suit kinetic options or to support Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) operations, including the deployment of sonar buoys.

Catapult deployment

When equipped with the Drone Shield upgrade, the PG-7 allows for independent ground deployment of the UAV through catapult launch. Packaged in a self-contained box with its guidance system, the PG-7 can be deployed autonomously anywhere in the battle space.

It has the ability to autonomously launch, fly, and belly-land with the flexibility to modify flight missions via the ground control systems

Naval deployment

The PG-7 is deployable from any naval vessel boasting deck space, facilitating beach reconnaissance or supporting the SXX3 on ISR missions.

Naval recovery

Recovery of the PG-7 is accomplished through a specially designed net system. The net system is designed to capture the UAV during its approach to the host vessel in a controlled manner, ensuring the safety of the vessel and crew.

BV206 deployment

The PG-7 Unmanned Aerial Vessel (UAV) is capable of being catapult-launched from the BV206 SXX3 launching platform's roof, providing aerial reconnaissance support to the USV.

This facilitates the transmission of reconnaissance data through interconnected mesh network radios.
