    World-class mission-readiness

    We know our customers need capabilities on demand, and our primary goal is to be ready whenever, wherever. Our ScanEagle platform has achieved a 99% readiness rate. In 2020 the PMA-263 RQ-21 Program Office won the Commander’s Award for best readiness rates in Naval aviation.

    Ground-Up Training

    Our experienced team has trained over 10,500 UAS operators globally, and we have the deep knowledge and expertise to train anyone at our center in Bingen, Washington, at deployed locations globally, as well as virtually.

    Deployed Operations

    Our operators and aircraft maintainers go where our customers need them, no matter the challenge. We have seamlessly deployed onboard USCG and USN ships, as well as at forward operating bases, since 2004. Our Field Services Representatives are consistently recognized as being best in the business.

    Capabilities For Every Mission

    Superior Imagery

    Our suite of payloads offer unparalleled ground resolution while flying at undetectable range. Alticam 14, EO950, ViDAR, and other EO/IR packages are available across our platforms. Next-generation Multi-Imager, Multi-Feed turrets provide simultaneous digital streams from one payload so you never lose your target while maintaining broader situational awareness.

    Mission Flexibility

    Our payloads deliver so much more than incredible image quality. Capabilities include:

  • Day & Night full motion video
  • Telescopic FMV for continuous zoom
  • Electronic Warfare (SIGINT)
  • Wide Area Motion Imagery (WAMI)
  • Communications Relay: Multiple radio types
  • Laser Rangefinder / Designator / Pointer
  • Maritime surface search (ViDAR and AIS)
  • Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR): Imagery of obscured objects
  • Maritime Patrol Radar
  • High Accuracy Photogrammetry
  • Always Expeditionary

    Insitu has always led the industry in small footprint, and we continue to evolve to meet the needs of our customers. You never need a runway to fly with Insitu, and the future continues to get even more versatile with new VTOL offerings that don’t sacrifice payload capacity or endurance.

    Long Endurance

    Endurance will always be a cricial component of persistent overwatch, and we are constantly extending the flight duration of our UAS. Integrator flies 24 hours, in both regular and VTOL configurations, and ScanEagle flies for 18 hours, so you never lose sight of what matters most.

    Multi-Intelligence

    Platforms such as Integrator offer multiple payload bays and plenty of onboard power so you can do more on one single mission.

    Certifications

    Quality & Safety Come First

    The AS9100 Standard outlines business requirements for aviation, space, and defense organizations. This standard provides guidance for managing variation of key features of material, processes, or parts in which the variation has a significant influence on product fit, performance, service life, or manufacturability.

    Insitu holds a DHS SAFETY Act Certification and Designation for the ScanEagle, which means that it is a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology that has undergone a thorough evaluation by the Department of Homeland Security. This affords our customers protection from potential third-party liability in the event of a catastrophic event resulting from an act of terrorism (as declared by the DHS Secretary) involving the ScanEagle.
