CybAero, which develops and manufactures remotely piloted helicopters with
associated sensor systems, is set to unveil its new product line on Tuesday: the
APID ONE. The product line is based on over 20 years of experience and extensive
development and refinement of the company’s earlier product, the APID 60. The
product line will be unveiled to stakeholders, investors and the media at the
Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology (Tekniska museet) in
Stockholm.
“We have been seeing a rapid increase in demand in several different areas of
application for a long time now. As a result, we have developed a new product
line based on the expertise and experience we have accumulated over the years,”
says Mikael Hult, CEO of CybAero.
The APID ONE gives CybAero even greater customization capabilities for defense
clients and users on the civilian and commercial markets.
“This boosts our competitiveness on the world market,” says Mikael Hult.
The APID ONE consists of three different models: DEFENCE, which caters to
defense clients, and RESCUE & RANGER, which are geared toward civilian and
commercial clients.
The APID ONE DEFENCE – for a strong defense
The APID ONE DEFENCE is the most advanced version of the APID ONE system. It can
be fitted with different sensors and equipment to optimally support various
defense units in their operations. This makes the APID ONE Defence a strategic
component in a modern defense force, which is capable of providing equally good
or better efficiency in a cost-effective, safe and reliable manner. Some areas
of application include: anti-submarine operations, intelligence operations and
protection of specific units or sensitive cargo.
The APID ONE RESCUE – saving lives and property
The APID ONE RESCUE is designed for rescue operations in which time is a
critical success factor. With its quick preparation time, its ability to take
off from just about anywhere and its advanced sensor solutions, the APID ONE can
be a decisive factor in lifesaving and property-saving operations. The APID ONE
also has a maritime configuration available as an add-on that enables it to be
stored onboard and to be used to autonomously take off and land on ships. Areas
of application include: fire monitoring, searching for missing people on land or
at sea, natural and environmental disasters and traffic accidents.
The APID ONE RANGER – for civilian operations
With the APID ONE RANGER, power line systems, water & oil pipelines and
industrial facilities can be inspected and monitored cost-effectively. The APID
ONE RANGER can be equipped with a Doppler laser (LIDAR) or a synthetic aperture
radar (SAR) which enables it to “see” a target despite foggy conditions or a
snowstorm. Areas of application include: forest inventories, environmental
research, mapping, traffic surveillance and wildlife inventories and protection.
Christer Fuglesang received gift for Swedish National Museum of Science and
Technology
The company donated a unit of its earlier product, the APID 60, to the Swedish
National Museum of Science and Technology in conjunction with the unveiling.
Christer Fuglesang, Sweden’s first and so far only astronaut and chairman of the
board of the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology, received the
older model.
