DSEI 2021 : Tekever’s UAS used to survey the British Channel

The Home Office of the United Kingdom uses TEKEVER's UAS-as-a-Service as the key asset to survey the British Channel and help prevent Illegal Migration and Illegal Fishing activities, the company said at DSEI 2021.

Tekever press release

“Every day, dozens of asylum seekers and refugees set off on the dangerous journey across the English Channel to reach British soil, but small boats and treacherous conditions mean many lives are in danger along the way. We are proud to be a partner of UK authorities in fighting this kind of illegal human traffic.  Drones can identify humans in distress in a much faster way and help rescue teams“, said Paul Weeb, TEKEVER UK Managing director.

TEKEVER is operating its own AR5 system from 2019 over the british channel, a twin-engine fixed wing UAV designed for maritime surveillance missions.

The AR5 can fly for more than 12 hours, and carry multiple payloads, including maritime radars, synthetic aperture radars, day and night cameras and AIS and EPIRB receivers.

The specific payload package used to survey the Channel allows it to cover vast areas, detecting and recognizing potentially illegal vessels, and then track and identify them, providing the authorities with real time and highly accurate intelligence. 

TEKEVER AR3 provides flexible payload options and 16h endurance with a very reduced logistics footprint, making it ideal for the most demanding tactical scenarios. Launched with a highly mobile catapult system and with parachute or net recovery, AR3 is the ideal to create a complementary response to AR5 missions.
