Integrator System

The UAS that takes versatility to a new level

Our Integrator unmanned aircraft takes versatility in the agile ISR category to an unparalleled level.

Designed and purpose-built to enable a wide array of payload options, Integrator extends operational capability so your missions are rapidly equipped with the most advanced payload to suit your unique mission objectives. In operational environments where change is the only constant, versatility can be the key to mission success.

Payload versatility

Integrator’s baseline sensor package includes inertially stabilized electro-optic, long-wave infrared and mid-wave infrared cameras, with infrared marker and laser rangefinder on a single, long-endurance vehicle. For other types of missions, these sensors may be removed to increase the available payload weight or extend endurance. Plug-and-play payload bays allow rapid integration of custom payloads to further expand mission capabilities. Integrator has line-of-sight communications range of more than 55 nautical miles (nm), with extended beyond-line-of-sight mission radius of up to 550 nm.

Expeditionary assets that work as a team

Integrator, ScanEagle and NightEagle unmanned aircraft are interoperable, using common ground system equipment. A single launcher and SkyHook recovery system can be used to launch and recover aircraft, making them a natural team in any theater — on land and at sea. Operation is completely autonomous from launch to recovery through a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface that keeps operator workload at a minimum. Launch and recovery are performed without nets or runways.

Constant innovation

Since the beginning, Insitu has introduced scores of game-changing technologies that have dramatically improved imagery and exploitation, operational security, training, airspace safety, reliability, maintainability and availability. We are a young company with one of the longest track records in a nascent industry, fully backed by The Boeing Company’s 95+ years of world-renowned innovation, delivery, legendary performance and value.
