SkySapience Enhances HoverMast Capabilities to Provide a Boundless Bird’s Eye View

Yokneam, Israel – Sky Sapience, the only provider of field proven tethered hovering solutions, has enhanced the HoverMast series capabilities, resulting in a more powerful platform with minimal noise levels, carrying heavier payloads up to 18 kg.

HoverMast is a unique surveillance and observation system providing intelligence and communication for both military and enterprise applications, supporting critical enterprise protection, special police units, border or perimeter control, surveillance and reconnaissance ISR missions in land and maritime environments.

The system entered operational use with the Israel Defense Forces soon after completing development in 2013. In 2015 Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) joined Sky Sapience in order to integrate the system within the comprehensive ISR solutions IAI offers to its military and homeland security customers.

Designed as a hybrid system combining an unmanned aerial system (UAS) and tethered platform, HoverMast integrates the sophisticated autonomy and control of a UAS with the endurance, robustness and safety of tethered aerostat systems.

Secured to the ground (or a vehicle) by a tethered cable that uplinks power, command and control and downlinks the sensor video streams and metadata, HoverMast has infinite power to maintain unlimited mission endurance, hovering at heights up to 150m above ground. A naval spinoff has also been demonstrated, providing an elevated sensor capability to small boats.

The platform is designed to haul extensive payloads up to 18 kg. The primary sensor uses advanced, lightweight multi-sensor EO devices to detect a person from miles away even in the dark. Other sensors support different aspects of intelligence collection and support, including laser rangefinder, ground surveillance radar, communications relay, cellular base station, electronic or acoustic sensors and more.

HoverMast operates as a fully automatic system, using four rotors managing lift, attitude, height and orientation. The platform can rise within seconds to an altitude of 150 meters above ground, to provide 360⁰ over-the-hill, across-the-crowd vision. Operated by a single person, the system is self-contained in a compact container that can be installed on a pickup truck or tactical vehicle, armored vehicles, or an unmanned platform. Using a self-contained system and automatic operation means the logistical footprint is reduced dramatically  compared to UAVs or aerostat based systems.

The system’s operation is simple and intuitive. Lifting and retracting is done by a flip of a switch. The vehicle constantly monitors its position, altitude and operating status and issues alerts to the operator upon excessive wind velocity, power loss, malfunction, or any issue requiring retraction; it will retract automatically if necessary. Unlike mast-mounted payloads that must be flushed to vertical position, the system can also deploy from a slope of up to 20 degrees.

A key advantage of HoverMast is its ability to operate in civilian airspace, such as in cities and sensitive areas where operations of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are restricted or forbidden. Since HoverMast is not classified as an aerial vehicle, its operation is not limited by airspace regulations.

HoverMast’s Unique Tethered Hovering Platforms Ensure Boundless Intelligence and Communication for Maximum Performance in any Enterprise Task

Yokneam, Israel – Sky Sapience Ltd., the pioneer and sole provider of tethered, hovering platforms has released a new HoverMast product line, comprising tethered, hovering solutions tailored to enterprise needs.

HoverMast was designed to accommodate a variety of enterprise challenges, including perimeter control, event management, communication and cellular applications for strategic facilities, oil & gas pipelines and rigs, traffic control, emergency response, firefighting, mines, monitoring of nature reserves, disaster areas and mass events.

With its exceptional durability and visibility, HoverMast operates in various weather and light conditions, including snow, heat, dampness, light and dark, and can detect a person from miles away at midnight. Secured by a cable, its infinite power supply allows HoverMast to hover at heights up to 150m for any amount of time.  To provide high-end visual intelligence, HoverMast accommodates a variety of electronic optical inputs, including laser, Infra-Red and radar technology, advanced mobile ad hoc networking and acoustic multi-mission sensor and cellular communication. Supporting this input is HoverMast’s exceptional payload, up to 18 kg.

HoverMast was designed with an extremely simple and friendly user interface requiring minimal technical expertise. The system constantly monitors all inputs and alerts the user when needed.

“We are confident that our enterprise-oriented platforms will prove extremely valuable for the enterprise and commercial markets,” said Gabriel Shachor, CEO and Founder, Sky Sapience. “In crafting the series, we leveraged our deep knowledge of airborne tethered drone technology, accumulated from the success of our defense-related product series used by governments and military entities. HoverMast’s combination of excellent surveillance and effective communications can facilitate optimal completion of any task.”

As a tethered platform, and unlike drones, HoverMast is exempt from standard air control regulations requiring various licenses and restrictions on areas of activity. This renders HoverMast immediately available for any task, virtually anywhere, including urban areas in the proximity of buildings.

HoverMast’s technology is the only tethered hovering system that successfully operates worldwide, serving cross-national entities such as the UN and large organizations in the United States, Asia and Israel.

HoverMast, Sky Sapience’s Autonomous Hovering Platform Makes Its Debut at AUVSI 2012 in Tel-Aviv

February 20, 2012 – Yokneam, Israel. Sky Sapience, an expert in autonomous hovering machine technology, announces the release of the HoverMast, tethered hovering platform specially designed for small vehicles. The HoverMast will be displayed at the upcoming AUVSI conference and exhibition in Tel-Aviv

The HoverMast responds to the need for quick, mobile intelligence gathering. At the click of a button, the system autonomously deploys, rising to heights of up to 50 meters within 10-15 seconds. Secured by a cable, serving as a power supply and wideband data link, the highly stabilized HoverMast combines advanced flight algorithms and innovative materials to provide the highest payload-to-size ratio available today. Weighing only 10 kg, the platform is capable of hosting 9 kg payloads, such as electro-optic sensors, laser designators, radar, and sophisticated COMINT and ELINT systems. Its data link enables the transfer of critical data to selected recipients in real time.

 

The HoverMast is stored in a compact housing unit that can be mounted on any vehicle; small vehicles in particular: cars, pick-up trucks, unmanned ground or surface vehicles (UGV/USV), ATVs, and small naval craft; making the system especially suited for Special Forces, border and port protection, and infantry missions.

Since the HoverMast is tethered, it is not bound by standard air control regulations; extremely useful for urban activities: urban warfare and law enforcement, as well as industrial, civilian and homeland security operations.

 

Brig. Gen (Res.) Gabriel Shachor, CEO and Founder of Sky Sapience notes that “Sky Sapience was chosen by MAFAT, the IMOD’s research and development agency, as its sole developer of tethered platform technologies. As such, we are confident that the HoverMast will prove invaluable to both military and civilian forces, vastly improving their observation and intelligence capabilities.”

 

This ground-breaking aerodynamic achievement will make its first ever public appearance at the AUVSI International Conference and Exhibition in Tel-Aviv next month. “I invite visitors to see the HoverMast and learn how our technology and products will fill the existing gap in today’s ISR markets.” says Shachor.

 

The HoverMast is due to enter full scale production in Q3 2012.
