Nostromo Defensa and Innocon Singed an MOU for Collaboration in South America 

19:13 GMT, March 22, 2011 Argentina, Cordoba | Nostromo Defensa an Argentinean UAV company and the Israeli based UAV Company Innocon have joined forces together and are collaborating together on the development of new UAV solutions for Argentinean and the South American market.

The companies believe that the cooperation between Nostromo Defensa knowledge and experience with UAV development and manufacturing and Innocon's technological advantage in UAV avionics and ground control systems, will enable them to offer the South American market cost effective, technological advanced UAV systems which meet the special needs and requirements of the this market.

Marcelo Martinez, Nostromo Defensa's CEO, says: "We are happy to work together with Innocon, and believe that this will enable us to offer a genuine cost effective South American design with a unique technological advantage". He adds, "Innocon's unique avionics system has distinctive data analysis and control software which provides each UAV with capabilities and flight parameters that set it apart, and we are delighted to offer these advantages to the South American market."

Moreover, Innocon’s combination of onboard and ground based computers control and manage all flight parameters including take off and landing constitute the backbone of the company’s unique UAV capabilities. The Naviator Flight Computer is responsible for all flight aspects including take off and landing. This core technology computer provides the UAV with capabilities that include: Short distance and highly accurate landing, self correction, optimized landing through data collection and processing during flight, 50 meter landing area requirement which is a quarter the distance required by competing UAVs, landing capability on wide-ranging surfaces utilizing a variety of landing gear including wheels, skids, or parachute.

Examples of advantages offered by the UAVs include: altitudes and airborne durations normally associated with a large UAV, high precision automatic landings on unpaved and difficult terrain, real time airborne information dissemination to multiple systems users, simultaneous data management for multiple platforms with the use of the company’s ground based mission control station, and est.

Innocon

Since its inception in 2001, INNOCON Ltd. has been developing and manufacturing UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) ranging from micro-UAVs weighing a mere 6 kg to 1000 kg full-size UAVs, equipped with the company’s proprietary command and control systems. The company delivers either complete systems or major sub-systems.
INNOCON’s technological advantages are clearly demonstrated in the superior performance of its core command and control technology on all company UAVs. Combined and interoperable onboard and ground-based computers feature modular software, enabling unprecedented levels of flight, take-off and landing control capabilities.
These technological achievements offer clients the advantages of a cost effective, flexible and varied use of their own platforms. These advantages include the option to operate a small and economical UAV for missions normally associated with large and heavy UAVs, the use of a particularly lightweight UAV for missions that demand flight altitudes and durations normally associated with much larger and heavier UAVs, UAV take-off and landing capability on unpaved and uneven terrain, and superior UAV-to-payload weight ratios.
Company clients include leading defense companies Elbit Systems and BAE Systems. INNOCON’s developed and manufactured UAVs are in service in the U.S., South America and Israel as well as in numerous Asian and African countries.
