2 ATR MPAs

Aerodata AG was contracted to supply its AeroMission mission management system, which will function in concert with the Leonardo Seaspray 7300E active electronically-scanned array (AESA) radar, Elettronica electronic support measures (ESM) suite, FLIR Systems Star SAFIRE III electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) turret and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability through lightweight ASW torpedo compatibility.

In addition, the ATR-72 MPAs were also configured with a self-protection suite providing defensibility to infrared, radar and laser-guided munitions. It also has passive electronic intelligence (ELINT) capabilities.

Luna NG UAVs

LUNA NG TUAS is based on the combat proven LUNA TUAS. Both are all-weather, easy to operate tactical unmanned aircraft systems (TUAS) for real-time, day and night C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance).

Three complementary aircraft platforms (LUNA, LUNA NG and the MUSECO helicopter) enable the commander to choose the best aircraft for his fast changing, specific mission needs. This offers effective C4ISR at ranges of more than 100 km with an endurance up to 12 hours, maintaining situational awareness around the clock by on-the-fly platform exchange.

Designed to accommodate multiple payloads, the versatile LUNA TUAS has been successfully supporting peacekeeping missions in several countries, i.e. Kosovo and Afghanistan since year 2000.

The system has been upgraded several times and is combat proven in different climates under severe weather conditions in difficult terrain (arctic, desert, jungle), leading to legendary operational effectiveness. The LUNA TUAS is a cost effective and reliable solution for military and civilian applications around the globe.

A full scale model of the Luna NG drone, developed by EMT. The new drone has a wing span of five meters and weighs 80 kg. It is positioned to augment current German Army Luna reconaissance units as well as at international customers.

Unlike its predecessor using rounded body designed to wrap the EO payload, the new vehicle uses a more modular ‘boxed’ fuselage providing more volume for payload and avionics. The flat belly is cleared for multiple payloads, including the integral EO/IR turret, directional datalink antenna (at the front) and a new bay that can accommodate up to ten kilograms of additional payloads such as radar, mapping cameras etc. The tail pipe of the original Luna was replaced by a twin-boom formation, which seems lighter and more durable withstanding multiple landings. Luna NG weighs about 80 kilograms, twice the original Luna. It’ wingspan is five meters and mission endurance is 10-16 hours, depending on the payload weight. Luna NG is also designed to fly at a higher air speed of up to 150 km/h, enabling faster transit flight to the mission area and capability to take off and operate at high wind conditions.

EMT designed Luna NG for operation with all the existing equipment of the Luna system, except the luncher, which will have to be strengthened to launch the heavier weight at higher initial speed.

EMT is also preparing a small electrically powered drone to augment the small electrically powered Aladdin, operated by Army scout teams from their Fennek vehicles. The proposed drone, called MARS will carry two electrical motors and will have larger wing area to carry a gimbaled payload on a longer missions.


This concept depicts what EMT considers the 'follow on to Aladdin' a twin-motor, electrically powered drone that will extend the mission endurance, range and payload efficiency of the mini-drone currently operated by the German Army scout teams. Photo: Tamir Eshel, Defense-Update

What on earth Marinized means ???

Used for maritime purposes aka for the navy.

It will have it's own special paint and avionics. Among other upgrades PN wanted.
