The exercise focused on TEKEVER’s cutting-edge UAS platforms, which combine highly reliable hardware with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. This combination enhances situational awareness, ensures rapid responsiveness, and strengthens resilience in electronically contested environments.
A key element of the exercise was the TEKEVER AR3 UAS, which features a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) capability. This allows it to operate without additional launch or recovery equipment, making it particularly effective for discreet operations in remote and challenging environments.
The AR3’s low acoustic and visual signature enhances its ability to conduct covert surveillance and reconnaissance. It also carries an interchangeable multi-sensor payload, including electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) cameras, radar, and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities, providing real-time intelligence.
This flexibility enables forces on the ground to receive actionable intelligence in complex and high-risk scenarios. Secure communications and continuous intelligence gathering are critical in such environments, and TEKEVER’s technology is designed to meet these demands.
Paulo Ferro, TEKEVER’s Strategic Development Director, emphasised the company’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence. He highlighted how TEKEVER’s AI-powered UAS solutions provide special operations forces with reliable intelligence and secure communications, even in contested environments.
